I really do not get the connection between the Obama Health Care plan and the Nazi policy of eugenics, or any other Nazi policy for that matter. I can understand that some people might not agree with the policy or the plan, but comparing it to anything that Adolf Hitler or the Nazis did in Germany through the 1930s and 1940s is just plain stupid and way out there in terms of exaggeration.
So, it was with a good deal of laughter that I watched Barney Frank's reply at a recent town hall meeting in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, when one of the attendees asked him, "Why are you supporting this Nazi policy?"
Frank's reply, "On what planet do you spend most of your time?" He then gets a little more serious and talks about the beauty of the first amendment allowing for such "vile, contemptible nonsense" to be propagated.

National socialism. They take it seriously in the US.

Does the Obama Health Care plan really constitute national socialism / Nazism?
I am pretty sure that people all over the place take N & S pretty seriously, and not just in the US.
I love his reply... I've always said to people, stop trying to have an argument with an idiot, they put you down to their level of idiocy and beat you with experience!

Agreed. There is little or no point in dropping down a couple of levels in the idiocy stakes and then getting beat with experience. Unless of course you understand the game and are a shot at winning :D
That said, I read today that Rush Limbaugh alluded to the Barney Frank comment with respect to planets. I am guessing that Rush has some homophobic issues that are yet to be addressed.
