OBAMA'S A HITLER?

Lucas --

Unbelievable.

Last week, Sen. Phil Berger appointed a guy to the UNC -TV Board of Trustees who compared President Obama to Hitler. Just four months ago, Orson Scott Card, a writer from Greensboro, wrote, "Like Hitler, he [Obama] needs a powerful domestic army to terrify any opposition that might arise."

Can you believe it? This guy who compares the President of the United States to Adolph Hitler is about to help oversee North Carolina's public television station. This is unacceptable and we need to let Sen. Berger know it. Sign our petition today and tell Sen. Berger to rescind Card's appointment.

Orson Scott Card has a long history of using inflammatory rhetoric and staking out right-wing views. We don't need extremists running North Carolina's public television station.

Please sign our petition and tell Sen Berger to stop his appointment >>

P.S. Here is Card's full quote. Make sure you sign the petition demanding Sen. Berger rescind this appointment.

"Like Hitler, he [Obama] needs a powerful domestic army to terrify any opposition that might arise...The National Police will be recruited from "young out-of-work urban men" and it will be hailed as a cure for the economic malaise of the inner cities. In other words, Obama will put a thin veneer of training and military structure on urban gangs, and send them out to channel their violence against Obama's enemies."
