…at least that’s what Rush Limbaugh thinks. Here’s an excerpt from the Los Angeles Times: “Over the last few days, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) has repeatedly accused people at a recent protest against President Obama’s healthcare reform of wearing swastikas and SS symbols — a claim that was later bolstered by a series of photographs.
“I think they’re AstroTurf, you be the judge,” said Pelosi. “They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare.”
Perennial Obama critic and conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh was quick to respond to the accusations, arguing today on his radio show that it was in fact the Democrats who were using Nazi symbolism to advance their agenda. He cited a post on the conservative blog Sweetness & Light that compares Obama’s new healthcare logo — a combination of his campaign logo and the ancient Greek symbol of medicine — to the Nazi swastika symbol.
“They accuse of us being Nazis, and Obama’s got a healthcare logo that’s right out of Adolf Hitler’s playbook,” said Limbaugh.”
