Guess How Many People On Twitter Have Seriously Compared Obama To Hitler Since Yesterday?

Radicals and conservatives on Twitter since Thursday morning have ramped up the anti-Obama hate speech over the President’s immigration announcement.

President Barack Obama’s speech Thursday night should have been no surprise. It had been over 500 days since the Senate passed an immigration bill, and Speaker of the House John Boehner refused to allow his members to vote on a bill to reform immigration.

The President announced months earlier he would sign an executive order if Congress refused to act, which, contrary to all the “legal scholars” on Twitter, actually is constitutional and within his power.

So crazed wingnuts, radicals, Tea Party hysterics, and other conservatives went ballistic. Of course, there were the usual extremists, like Breitbart’s Ben Shapiro, who called the President a “madman,” and “the greatest liar of our generation.”

And Fox News’ bloviating religion reporter, Todd Starnes, who believes all Christians are persecuted. Birtherism is alive and well at Fox News, by the way.

But it was Tea Party “reactionary” (his word) and author Matthew Vadum who had to prove Godwin’s Law is still valid.

Vadum also retweeted this:

Of course, the Tea Party, Republican extremists, hate mongers, racists, nationalists, etc., never get the ignorance of their comparisons.

Hitler wanted a white “pure” race. There’s no evidence Obama has even thought about race in the context of immigration, much less the creation of a “master race.” (Also, stating the obvious, not all immigrants are Hispanic.) But more importantly, if anything, by not deporting millions of people, Obama is actually doing the exact opposite of what Hitler did. Deporting people in many cases would actually be sending them to their deaths. (Five immigrant children returned to Honduras were murdered within a week.) I’ll leave the rest of the theorizing to those who have time to mull it over.

Meanwhile, in answer to the question, “Guess How Many People On Twitter Seriously Compared Obama To Hitler Since Yesterday?,” we found over 30. That’s over 30 who weren’t refuting the comparison. Over 30 who apparently meant it.

Here’s a sampling:
