Michigan's Jackson County Commissioner Phil Duckham attended a rally held by U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer. He was there for in opposition to the proposed health care reform plan of President Barack Obama. What's unconscionable is that he carried a sign with a swastika on it and compared Obama to Adolf Hitler.

"This is how Hitler started out," Duckham said. "First, Obama took over the auto industry, then the banking industry. We don't need him to take over the health-care industry."

Members of the right wing shrug their shoulders and say that the Democrats are the ones crying racism, but here you have an elected official walking around with a sign with a swastika on it. What is the extremist fringe of the right wing suppose to deduce from that? A sense of empowerment for their cause.
