Of all the signs I saw being held up at the "We hate everything about the government" rally on Saturday in Washington, D.C., the silliest - and, alas, the saddest - were the ones that depicted President Barack Obama with a Hitler-like mustache.

The protesters were suggesting that Obama, our first black president, rules like Hitler? Or that he wants to be like Hitler?

Hitler hated blacks almost as much as he hated Jews, but far be it from these self-proclaimed "teabaggers" to let the facts of history get in the way of what they see as a clever argument.
