In 1934, American journalist William L. Shirer decided to try to understand the Nazi phenomena. He went to a National Socialist rally in the old Bavarian city and reported:
"I was a little shocked at the faces," Shirer wrote in his diary, 'when Hitler finally appeared on the balcony for a moment. They reminded me of the crazed expressions I once saw in the back country of Louisiana on the faces of some Holy Rollers...they looked up at him as if he were a Messiah, their faces transformed into something positively inhuman'."
Adolph Hitler's tame writers labeled it "The Rally of Unity and Strength."
Obama is no Hitler. Mill-run Obama worshippers are not NDSAP material. But words have meanings and ideas have consequences, so let's be wary about those who sculpt graven images to an unexplained "unity."
