  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Is this even semi accurate?

Jesus the Christ was not merely a man.
I was always told he was 100% man and 100% God. So if he was 100% man born of flesh in the era of the 1st century, then he has a history on earth. What Maureen did was take his history on earth and made, as Grizzly pointed out, the same ludicrous association game with Hitler that the OP does with Obama. I understand your faith position on Jesus, but hopefully one can see the point.

What amazes me is that, given how many actual policy decisions Obama has made that are mediocre, people still feel a need to trot out this commiemuslonazi BS and do drive-by character assassinations.

Well lets be fair Herbie has been trying to assassinate Obama's character since before the election so he hardly qualifies as drive by

I propose that we leave gratuitous and hateful references to Hitler to fifth graders, as such tactics are more suited for a ten year old's maturity level than grown adults.

Well, he keeps switching vehicles like some mobster who knows he's under surveillance, hoping he won't be recognized.

hh has essentially abandoned any sense of credibility he had hoped to have, and has also abandoned a thread that has been roundly characterized as pathetic and intellectually impoverished. no one has come to his defense, not even brinny who had a knee-jerk reaction to a post that made an excellent point that she misunderstood to be an attack on Christ. even she did not try to defend the op. no one has.
hh has isolated himself by being a perpetual paranoiac. it is exciting to see that absolutely no one is coming to his defense. the debate, perhaps, has matured.

Thank you for a serious response to my question without attacking me or Christ or all Republicans. I will check those out.
I agree with the very close to mother because of no interest from the father being a little off. From my understanding Mr. Obama idolized his Father even though he abondoned him.

You will check them out? If you cared about their validity you would have already done so and used them against Obama. Nice try on playing innocent. After what you have posted about Obama, the attempt is shallow.

So far in this thread no one has attacked Christ (there has been some off topic discourse I admit). Certainly no one has attacked Republicans, as a matter of fact I have given them props for not giving legitimacy to this thread. Are you puting your self on the level with Christ (first and foremost) and Republicans (which don't seem to be carying the birther torch)?

While i do doubt his sincerity, he is at least paying lip service to intellectual honesty. He's admitting that some of them definitely don't fit. That's much better than we could be getting so let's recognize at least that. He could also be taking an honest look at some of the nonsense he was formerly tempted to just buy into. If that is the case, we should encourage it and build on the progress.

Regardless of my apprehensions, I think we should give him the benefit of doubt and assume he's on the up and up when asking this stuff. If, in the due course of time, it becomes clear that he is just framing craziness like this to try and make it seem less insane, we can discount it at that point.

HH, one thing to keep in mind is that even if all of these fit both men, one can probably find a slew of accurate comparisons between ANY two people. Me and you might both like seafood, be veterans, and work in the healthcare field. Or maybe instead we both wear glasses, put together hifi audio systems, and have broken printers we need to replace.

It doesn't mean we have any similarity in our goals or methods of leadership.

In terms of accuracy it's no more or less "accurate" than similar lists comparing Bush to Hitler or suggesting that America under Bush was heading toward fascism.

I must admit, a thought he was posting something about Hitler from the first sentence.
tulc(just always assumes these things are about Hitler)
Mao has lately become almost as popular a villain.

Tell me about it. I can't stand it. I thought it was getting bad with the left in regards to Bush (I disliked Bush but I also hated all the stupid "Bush is Hitler" stuff) but with Obama things are just getting out of control - this thread being a good example.

Can we please have a bit of rationality here? Can we please be reasonable? The political climate is just getting less and less sane.

It's gotten to the point where I can't watch any new on TV, and the only news sources I can stand are NPR and the Daily Show. The former for it's reasoned approach to the news and the lack of two people yelling at each other, and the latter for letting me know that I'm not insane for hating the news media.

well no, hitlers father didn't abandon him anyway, he was a strict man, but he loved adolph, so even if obama's father did abandon him, its still not right.

oh yes by the way adolph's father's descent was questioned not adolph's, i know a lot of people question wiki but it does say that adolph's father wasn't sure who his own parents were so adolph went by his mothers name.
what does "burst" on the political scene mean? hitler ran like what 2-3 times before winning? i wouldn't call that "bursting" by any logic.

plus hitler ran more on a political base of "we have someone to blame for our downfall! the jews who worked to bleed us dry and destroy us from within!" or something, along with what happened to germany over the last 10 years after losing WWI
after all they couldn't have an army and what the other countries did to germany killed their economy
how is that like obama again? ourselves shooting ourselves in the foot is hardly the same, and equivocating the two things is pretty weak.

by the way hitler started out as a christian, he soon lost himself in the rhetoric of putting his country first, including promoting the history of the rhine and nordic beliefs that helped people to believe they were ubermensch, rather than people twisted by anger at the world.

i'm not sure why people keep attaching socialism to hitler, his ideas were not socialist, they were totalitarian and fascist along with some good old racism and hate.
he hated socialism, just like he hated communism, or capitalism, unless it was for the third reich

when obama starts moving to gather up unwanted people and gassing them or shooting them in the head, then i will start thinking of obama as being like hitler
hitler was a sick man and no one embodies evil like him, and no one i hope will ever be as equal or more evil than him.
