The Most Offensive Frakkin Thing I've Seen in a While

I've been having a flame war on my facebook status for a couple of days now. Just today the bloke I've been arguing with posts this over-the-top propaganda image as his profile picture. That's right, this douchebag is now representing himself with an image of Obama-as-Nazi.


A little bit of history: during the Third Reich Hitler regarded Africans and African-Germans as a threat to Aryan racial purity. He accused the Jews of bringing Africans to Germany intentionally in order to dilute white bloodlines. The Gestapo forcibly sterilized many of them. "Mulattoes" were particularly offensive to the Nazi party, a symbol of undesirable racial mixing.

How does somebody make this comparison with a straight face? Obama would likely have been murdered or sterilized if he lived in Hitler's Germany. I'd like to propose a new corollary to Godwin's Law: anybody who posts an image of Obama-as-Hitler, except to point out how ridiculous or offensive it is, is an asshole.
