According to the newest episode of The Family Guy, Nazis would have voted for the McCain-Palin ticket.
This type of crap is ridiculous. Whether you hate a candidate with all of what you hold dear, to equate them to Nazis in the name of humor is stupid. And before you say, "Oh Chris, get a grip," remember that McFarlane, the creator of The Family Guy is a staunch supporter of Obama.
And for anyone that says, well I thought it was funny, think about what's really being said here. McCain, a Vietnam veteran, is being equated to a political group that single handedly was responsible for the extermination of millions of Jews.
Pathetic. And to think that if anyone mentions anything negative about Obama, you're nonchalantly lumped in as a racist. Doesn't seem to be fair does it?
Well, it doesn't matter. Neither of the candidates will be able to accomplish much of what they're saying they will. Those that will worship their political celebrities will continue to do so. I guess in that crazed state of mind, they can then see how someone would on a national television program call someone a Nazi. That makes perfect sense.

Are you really having trouble figuring out why someone would say that Nazi's would be attracted to McCain's campaign? The centerpiece of the campaign is currently a bunch of mischaracterizations intended to appeal to unsubstantiated fear. He's routinely portrayed as a Muslim, unpatriotic, or a supporter of terrorism. The campaign is an embarrassment to American politics; a new low, even for the party that has championed bigotry for decades now.
Foodie,
Your argument makes no sense. You're spewing talking points. You're also falling in to the trap of Godwin's Law:

Come back when you have a true point that McCain shows that he intends to start a regime that will actually try to exterminate a race of people.
Thanks, now have a nice day.
Chris. Let's try this again. The Godwin's law thing... YOU posted about the Nazi comparison that was made on a cartoon television show. Now, if you're taking cartoons too seriously, I'm not sure what kind of trap you've fallen into, but you can get help. You don't have to get your information from me or cartoons. Try listening to Colin Powell. He is steaming mad about bigotry and divisiveness employed by the Republican party.
Do you think the McCain/Palin campaign has been honorable? Christ-like? How about childish? How about fearmongering? Are these leadership qualities? You wrote about the need for "grace." You may not see it this way, but the growing number of Obama supporters are attracted to his humility, compassion, and gracefulness under pressure. He may not be your ideal candidate, but he seems to be following the golden rule more closely than any presidential candidate we had in a long time.
Foodie,
The Godwin's law shows how ridiculous it is that people compare people to Nazi's. I didn't make that error in logic/judgement, the creative team at The Family Guy did.
I'm not sure why you are so hostile when you comment. Saying, "Let's try this again," adds nothing to the conversation except the fact that you feel you are so much smarter than everyone else. I'm sorry you feel you need to discuss things that way.
Neither do I take cartoons too seriously, nor get my news from cartoons or you. My point, which I stated, was and is that it's despicable and stupid to compare a modern candidate to a Nazi. It's also just as stupid to show Obama as a terrorist with a black panther wife on the cover of the New Yorker.
Christ has nothing to do with politics, so I really won't comment there.
God bless.
-Chris
