From MediaMatters via Daily Kos: Over at Daily Kos, Markos catches Buchanan marking the 70th anniversary of Britain declaring war on Nazi Germany by arguing that Hitler has gotten a bum rap — he didn’t really want war.

As crazy as it seems, this actually isn’t a new line of argument for Buchanan. He has long held that World War II was not “worth it,” that Hitler needn’t have been deposed, and that the Holocaust was Churchill’s fault, not Hitler’s. MediaMatters catalogued those and other monstrous Buchanan claims in a column back in June. [ READ MORE ]

From MediaMatters: Conservatives on Obama’s stay-in-school speech: “Indoctrination,” “brainwashing,” Communist China, Hitler Youth — Numerous conservatives have claimed that President Obama’s upcoming September 8 speech about “persisting and succeeding in school,” along with classroom activities about the “importance of education,” will “indoctrinate” and “brainwash” schoolchildren. Conservatives have compared Obama’s address to Chinese communism and the Hitler Youth, while also calling for parents to “keep your kids home” from the “fascist in chief.” [ READ MORE ]

Sanity on hold: Fox News warns Democrats: “Don’t meddle with our patriotic music” — Fox News hosts have recently fixated on the House’s decision to terminate a pilot program to — in the words of Bret Baier — “kill the patriotic tunes callers hear when they’re put on hold.” Sean Hannity claimed that it “serves as a lesson to the Democrats: Don’t meddle with our patriotic music,” while Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy said the program is “one of the most boneheaded moves of the summer” and claimed “America wins” because the House is once again playing “patriotic” music.

Lou Dobbs and his hate groupies: By now, CNN’s Lou Dobbs, with his single-minded obsession over all things anti-immigrant and his bizarre embrace of the loony birther movement, is well known for trafficking in disturbing, misleading, and often inaccurate garbage. Escaping under the radar of many, however, are his close associations with an organization that has been described by experts as a “hate group.” [ READ MORE ] [ LOU DOBBS - AN ANTI-IMMIGRANT BIGOT.

GOP Senator To Town Hall: Obama Determined To Turn Terrorists Loose On U.S. Soil — “I never dreamed I would see an administration try to disavow all the things that have made this country different from all others,” Inhofe told more than 300 people at a town hall meeting in the Grove Community Center. “I have never seen so many things happening at one time so disheartening to America.” Inhofe found a highly receptive audience. Many wore T-shirts of a local organization called Get America Back. Its Web site promises “a plan to eliminate the socialist government and return Americas (sic) freedoms.”

The “plan” is a link to a YouTube video by Lloyd Marcus, a Florida artist and singer making the circuit of anti-Obama “Tea Party” rallies.

Wednesday’s audience was similar to those at town hall meetings throughout northeastern Oklahoma in recent weeks. Concerns centered on the administration and Democratic-controlled Congress.

Inhofe gave his constituents plenty to worry about. “Every institution that has made this country the greatest nation in the world is under attack,” he said at the end of the 75-minute session.

During those 75 minutes, Inhofe said President Barack Obama is disarming the military, is destroying everything good about America and is determined to turn foreign terrorists loose on U.S. soil.

The good news, he said, is that he does not think the Democratic leadership can push through health-care reform or the more controversial parts of its energy bill. He also said he continues to be proven correct in his claim that global climate change is a hoax. [ READ MORE ]
