It doesn't mean what I think you think it means...

WASHINGTON — A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist dictatorship.

I... Ah... Well... Erm...

o_O

No, seriously. How can you be in congress and not know the basic layout of different political ideologies? I mean, I FAILED History repeatedly in school and consistently slept through our units on the second world war (I blame channel nine running Star Trek TNG episodes at 11 at night). I still know that one of those things is NOT like the other.

Dear GOD. It frightens me people actually voted that idiot into office.

Just because the Gestapo operated under a facist government doesn't mean 'Gestapo like' would have to relate to that. He could have (and probably) meant that Obama would use secret police tactics of fear and intimidation to impose a Marxist like dictatorshoip.
Rather than jump on his ise of historical similies why don't we laugh at the idea of Obama being compared to Nixon?

Obama isn't that bad.

Don't call our glorious marxist dictator an idiot. The gestapo don't approve of that sort of thing. ;)

Oh god. Out of 435 representatives, the one who represents my district makes it on everyone's blog, including an Australian's.

I'm so, so sorry! We in Athens-Clarke, a left-leaning college town got grouped into a new congressional district with a bunch of Appalachian white-bread hicks because the Republicans took control of the Georgia state legislature in 2004 and gerrymandered us into complete irrelevance. And now we're the laughingstock of the world because Bobby Saxon couldn't beat that idiot because none of the local Democrats had any faith in Bobby because we all knew he couldn't win because it's the 10th fucking district filled with barely literate and hateful inbred hillbillies and AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHGGGHHH, I HATE YOU REPUBLICANS FOR PUTTING ME IN THE SAME DISTRICT AS THESE IDIOTS!!! HATE YOU HATE YOU HATE YOUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

*cry*

A frightening number also think socialism = communism, and also think health care = socialism therefore = communism...

I don't know, when I was in high school we were actually taught political systems, but I guess to each their own!
