Keith KOs Sarah Palin in 140 Characters or Less

And in her medium of choice or, as President Obama likes to say, “the Twitters.”

Here is the context: Useful Teabagger Idiot Thomas Sowell compared BP’s $20 billion escrow fund agreement secured by President Obama for victims of its Gulf oil spill to an unconstitutional Hitlerian power grab. That’s the same kind of thing wingnuts in the 40s were accusing FDR of -- popular Wilkie campaign buttons of the 1940 election had these slogans (from my collection):

NO THIRD INTERNATIONALE THIRD REICH THIRD TERM

NO DICTATOR LATER!

“ONE PARTY NATION? NOTHING DOING, FRANKLIN!”

Sounds familiar, eh?

Fortunately for us, the Palins and Teabaggers of the 1940s were not successful, otherwise we might actually be doing the Nazi salute. When those so-called “Constitutionalists” weren’t hurling epithets at FDR, they were busy attending American Nazi Party rallies in Madison Square Garden, observing Nazi Germany war exercises as fascist sympathizer “Lucky Lindy” (Charles Lindbergh) did, and opposing the President’s efforts to help England during the Battle of Britain, forcing FDR to devise a creative way called “Lend Lease” to keep England afloat.

Dear Sister Sarah: Time to embrace your inner Hitler; all those analogies from you and your wingnut ilk, all that projection, the Obama hate-love envy, the black leather ... you know you want to. Idiot.
