Obama and Hitler

[hnumpah]

Saw this on one a them comedy semi-news shows last night, Colbert, Olbermann, one a them guys, while they were discussing ABC's version of the debate last week.

Obama has Ted Kennedy's support. Ted Kennedy is Catholic. The Catholic church is led by the Pope. The Pope was a member of the Nazi Youth. Therefore, Obama has direct ties to Hitler.

[Rich]

Wow ... another Nazi Pope remark.

Brilliant.

[hnumpah]

The point wasn't about the Pope.

Does he have Waldheimer's disease?

[Rich]

Right. Sure it wasn't.

[hnumpah]

Note the title of the thread. The old geezer wasn't included. He is merely incidental to the story.

[Brassmask]

So, its a big deal if Obama's preacher says "God damn Amerika!" but its somehow impolitic or inappropriate to mention that the current pope was in the Hitler youth?

Come on now.  Fair's fair.

I'd say mentioning that is letting the catholic church off easy since it really should be shut down and half the people running it jailed for pedophilia and covering up for pedophiles.

What's the difference between an evangelical christian and an evangelical atheist, again?

I'm not evangelical.  Evangelicals want you to believe in something it isn't real.  I don't want that.

Have you given up on RBE then?

The RBE isn't real.

Besides, American Heritage Dictionary:

evangelical
adj.

Characterized by ardent or crusading enthusiasm; zealous: an evangelical liberal.

The RBE is not a god.  It's a political/resource system.  No churches would be involved.   The RBE is more like The Great Society.  It's a plan, a system; not an imaginary friend out there in space who wants to make sure you use your pee pee for what he wants it to be used for.

Sure seems like cherry-picking on that definition there.

Actually, I would be considered an agnostic as far as a plane hitting the Pentagon.  Just as I lean wholeheartedly towards natural selection (lots of proof) and away from "god did it" (0.0 proof), I have seen little to no proof that a plane hit the Pentagon therefore, I don't want to make a leap of faith based on self-interested "eyewitnesses".

The time has passed when I could even be swayed to belief in a plane/pentagon scenario since lots of fake videos could have been created in the nearly 7 years since the event in question.

I arrive at a missile based on what I have seen.  A giant hole with bits of a plane that could have been carted in prior.  No wing section.  No tail section.  Doctored photos after the even.  Smells like conspiracy to me.
