Pro-tesing distastefulness about this. one thing is like the nazis and that s the actual nazis. why are they going to these kinds of extreme? well, you know, foster is a strange man, he makes strange analogies. what you have here, people who believe because they are giving a lot of money, their opinions need something. and they re given a lot of respect because they can sign big checks. but just like sheldon adelson, you have people who are not political minds, they are not in tune with how normal good humored, well grounded people think. why are they doing this about this president? they cannot decide whether he s impotent or a dictator and it s driving them crazy. you know, here s another clip of that hitler obama care parody. i want you to listen to this. ....
Own sense of importance. our supreme court said money is speech. well, foster friesz is taking that quite literally. he believes by giving more money in, his platform has expanded and he has a right to it. but there s something about this president, i think that richard wolffe said that makes them go furtherer. the line hasn t just been hopped across, it s been clearly erased. this stuff is more vile than it s ever been before. we ve had it, but not quite to this extent. in all of these nazi comparisons, get to a larger trend from some on the right, that somehow this president is a dictator. listen to this. this is stalinism. this is sheer brazen lawyerlessness. and this is what tyrants are made of. this is w45 autocrhat autocrats of. i m aphrase president obama ....
now here s why it matters what foster friesz is doing. he donated $2.6 million in the 2012 election. and he wants very, very much to be involved in the 2014 elections, goldie. so this guy matters, especially with the new law. i think you re right about that reverend sharpton. but this is not new. caricatures of political figures including u.s. presidents has happened since the beginning of this democracy. but on the other hand, we are now at a different place. we re at a place where there are many more touch points, where many more people have a voice or a stake in this discourse. and sometimes to its good, to its betterment, and sometimes to its december rimt as in this case. you re finding people like foster friesz who are pouring money into campaigns like rick santorum. pouring money to expand their own platform, to expand their ....
