Voter “Survey” Compares Obama to Hitler, Also Refers to His “Communist Beliefs”
This is part of a ”Voter Registration Confirmation Survey” that a conservative evangelical group is sending out to targeted Americans to motivate them to vote. And the rest of the push-poll “questions” are even skeezier.
Ever seen one of these in your mailbox? Your parents or grandparents might… and you might want to check with them. 


What is with this election getting Godwin’s Law’d all over the place? Nobody currently running for President is a Nazi. We are PRETTY SURE.

Is this par for the course for Republicans? Or are they really this desperate this time around? They just seem a little more … unhinged … than usual this year.

“Hey listen George, thanks for coming.  Could you do me a solid?  Would you mind telling your Republican friends that I finished fighting the wars you started and that yes, I’m still trying to undo the economic damage wrought by your dizzyingly daft dependence on tax breaks for the rich?  I know you don’t think Mitt Romney’s a real conservative anyway.  Oh also tell your dad he’s got some ridiculous socks.  Trust me on that.  Kthxbai.”

It somehow became an article of faith on the right that Obama is ‘the most extreme President in American history.’ Although when they say that, I think what they really mean is, ‘He’s black.’

President Obama Becomes the First American President to Back Same-Sex Marriage

“I’ve just concluded, for me, personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married,” Obama said in an interview with ABC News.
Obama, who had previously backed strong protections for gay and lesbian couples, said his position had evolved partly after talking to his two daughters Malia and Sasha who had some friends who had same-sex parents.
“It wouldn’t dawn on them that somehow their friends’ parents would be treated differently. It doesn’t make sense to them and frankly, that’s the kind of thing that prompts a change in perspective,” Obama said in the interview.
