The White House struck back hard on Friday against conservative pundits and town hall protesters who have compared the President to Hitler and his policies to Nazism, saying that the critics are “on thin ice” and should “take that temperature down a bit.

Here’s What Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs had to say”

“I know the president feels strongly that we can discuss these issues without personally maligning… that we are doing so in a way that respects the dignity of each individual,” he said. “I think anytime you make references to what happened in Germany in the 30′s and 40′s, I think you are talking about an event that has no equivalent. And I think anytime anyone ventures to compare anything to that, they are on thin ice, and it is best not employed.”

“But I think what the most important thing is, is that we can have a discussion in our democracy about where we want to go,” he added. “The president strongly believes we can do so without yelling at each other, pushing at each other or degrading each other. We have seen some stuff, I mentioned it a week ago, we have all seen imagery that just shocks and surprises us and I think the best thing to do is just take that temperature down a bit.”

    Consider the source.conservatives are the onlÝ group on earth equal to the nazis.remember the nazi’s minister of propoganda,the vicious SS,the nazi party itself,now look at the conservatives,perfect match.the one constant is that no matter what is prayed for,the conservatives are only going to get much,much worse.they have put the country on the brink of destruction which will be upon us before we can do anything to fight it.this was their from the time that ni**a was made president.the things they call him are done to prompt the racist lunatics to kill,feeling they have a good old american reason,Obama is a nazi with all the plans hitler had,but obama does’nt preach the white racist conservatives superior race,they are the only ones that believe they are superior to all other races.the countdown has started and we do’nt have much time left,before their plan comes to fruition.

    I’m pleased the Obama Administration has publicly come out and advised the American people that these conservative thugs who are bullying more liberal minded people at the Town Hall meets this past week have been put on notice. The conservatives’ fear of President Obama’s success in the White House stem from their racist belief system. I like that it’s been exposed that a number of the coordinators and main thugs at these Town Hall meetings are former Bush folks. HMMMM I see why our country is such a mess after eight (8) years of Bush. They have proven themselves to be more like Hitler, using Nazi tactics to condemn our president and are projecting their hate onto him as if he’s initiating racial conflict and government instability.
