"This Is Omaha Beach": Rick Perry thinks defeating Obama is like defeating Hitler

[kpete]

With a sense of history on the biggest political day -- to date -- of the 2012 cycle, Texas Gov. Rick Perry today compared the GOP's quest to defeat President Barack Obama to one of the deadliest battles of the D-Day landings in Normandy in 1944.

"This election is about stopping a president of the United States and his administration that is abusing the Constitution of this country, that is putting America on a track to bankruptcy," Perry told a hotel ballroom packed with more than 200 volunteers.

"It is a powerful moment in Americans' history, and you are on the front lines," he added. "This is Concord. This is Omaha Beach. This is going up the hill realizing that the battle is worth winning."

1. But WHICH side are you on, Ricky?

[RZM]

2. He could have at least said 'Omahabama Beach' n/t

[JoePhilly]

3. Perry should be thinking ... The Battle of Little Bighorn ... because that's where he's headed.

[tabatha]

4. Perry has to be one of the emptiest-vile-heads in politics.

He is quite frankly very annoying, and I hate the way he talks. Shower-needing, slimy voice.

5. LOL

I really hope Perry makes a comeback...we really miss the fun quotes and sound bytes.

It's kinda like having George W back...he's just easy to make fun of.

6. Well, we already had Pearl Harbor when Newt failed to make the Virginia ballot.

At least this GOP fantasy replay of WWII is moving at a much faster pace than the real one did.

[BeyondGeography]

7. At least he didn't say Obama Beach

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

8. Janet and Mark?

Who writes this shit?

9. Meh. Tonite's gonna be like the Alamo for Ricky

10. Sux that Perry has a point about the Constitution.

Shrub may have started the ball rolling toward fascism, but Obama has done little or nothing to stop it--not enough for my taste, in any event.

11. Fucking disgusting chickenhawk coward piece of shit...

How dare he compare himself to a soldier at Omaha Beach. For a guy who managed to not go to Vietnam he sure has a lot of fucking balls comparing himself to people who fought and died at Normandy.

[marmar]

12. The Party with Nazi-like tendencies is always trying to project Nazism on someone else.....

[bulloney]

13. Perry thinks Omaha Beach is somewhere in Nebraska.

[yardwork]

14. The whole Republican Party suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

[Javaman]

15. "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

dropping perry on his head as a child just once wasn't enough for his mom, apparently.

[11 Bravo]

16. What is it about Repug chickenhawks and military rhetoric?

This is the same douchebag that wishes to re-invade Iraq, but decided that HIS sons could best defend their country from within the confines of his fucking campaign bus!
