Red-handed: Pelosi, Obama staffers caught at 'Nazi protest' against Kinzinger (Updated)

*
A staffer for Obama’s Organizing for America and one of Nancy Pelosi's aides have been caught red-handed taking part in an Illinois protest against Congressional candidate Adam Kinzinger where demonstrators carried signs with pictures of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck depicted as Hitler.

After their demonstration, the protesters returned to Rep. Debbie Halvorson‘s office, where the protest was apparently organized. Jim Hoft has the story and the damning video (which we predict is destined to go viral) at Gateway Pundit.

Kinzinger, who was endorsed by Gov. Palin, issued a press release in which he demanded that Halvorson answer a number of questions about the obvious connection between her campaign and the demonstrators.

Updates...

Vicki McClure Davidson:

"When interviewed... these anti-conservative protesters in Joliet, outside Chicago — proudly carrying Nazi-esque signs slamming GOP congressional opponent Adam Kinzinger and other well-known conservatives, like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin — denied several times being there in support of, or affiliated with, Democrat Rep. Debbie Halvorson... But wait… these miscreants LIED... They look pretty darned cozy in [Halvorson’s campaign office] in the video with Julie Merz, Halvorson’s campaign manager."

theblogprof:

"It's ironic that the same party that points their crooked finger at the GOP and the tea party as the ones hurling violent rhetoric are the same ones that use Nazi symbols to paint the opposition with."

Don Surber:

"Why should I pay tax dollars to support people who carry Nazi signs?"

RedState.com's Erick Erickson:

"Does Barack Obama sanction his own grassroots army comparing Republicans to Hitler? If not, will he see to it that this employee is fired?"

Verum Serum;

"I’m sure these signs will be posted on Media Matters shortly. And Rachel Maddow will run with them as proof of anti-Tea Party extremism. Nah, not really."

And Stacy McCain channels Captain Louis Renault:

"It appears that not a single major news organization in Illinois — not the TV stations, nor the Chicago Tribune or Sun-Times — has done any actual reporting on this story."

We're shocked also, Captain.

No, Sarah Palin Did Not Compare Obama to Hitler

*
From Gov. Palin's BlackBerry^® to the LSM via Twitter:

"Lamestream media: I never compared Obama to Hitler. Quit making things up."

And from Stacy Drake at The Cypress Times:

What is it with the left and their friends in the media? Why is it that they cannot apply reason when processing information in regards to Sarah Palin? I’m just going to presume that it’s a political tactic designed to confuse possible future voters. Otherwise, I’d be left to believe that we have an unhealthy number of ignorant people in our society.

Last night, Governor Palin posted a link to a Thomas Sowell article called, “Is U.S. Now On Slippery Slope To Tyranny?”

[...]

I think the point Mr. Sowell was trying to make is clear. Throughout history, despots have used “useful idiots” to grow their regime’s power and influence. He provided TWO examples of historical reference to back up his claim, by listing both Adolf Hitler and V.I. Lenin in the beginning of his post.

Yet somehow, the media missed this obvious point as the... article written by Andy Barr in Politico today proves, called “Sarah Palin praises column linking Obama, Hitler” (please note that the original title of this article was “Sarah Palin praises Hitler column” but I guess that meme wasn’t working for them)...

[...]

Where did Lenin go? Why didn’t I see 1,000 tweets directed at Governor Palin from left-wing drones on Twitter (known as #p2) saying she compared Obama to Lenin? Where is the article form Politico or any other media outlet with the reference to Lenin? Perhaps it’s because they have a little soft spot for the former Communist dictator, and although Lenin is responsible for millions of deaths, it just doesn’t have the same punch as a reference to Hitler in their minds.

Quote of the Day (December 20, 2009)

Gary Andres:

"Drenched in crocodile tears, many in the pundit class now portray the GOP as hopelessly divided by fringe groups and internal dissensions... Similar narratives populate left-wing commentaries about Republicans such as Sarah Palin. Writing in the New York Times, Frank Rich notes that the former Alaska governor and her 'Hitler-fixated' followers will doom the Republicans in 2012. If hyperbole sold subscriptions, Rich might single-handedly save the newspaper industry... If you had to assign the label anywhere, it's the Democrats that suffer from division."
