While it was thoughtful of her to remind us that associating her remarks about the first African-American president with the historical scab of slavery isn&#8217;t racist, she nevertheless fails to grasp the intricacies of economics. But she does align herself with a growing congregation of noxious Tea Partiers who think that anything President Obama does that they don&#8217;t like is just like slavery. For instance&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rush Limbaugh:<\/strong> Well over 50% of the American people don\u2019t want [Obamacare]. And the Republicans are like \u2018well we can\u2019t do anything about it. The law\u2019s the law, It\u2019s the law of the land.\u2019 Well, so was slavery one time, the law of the land.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dr. Ben Carson:<\/strong> Obamacare is \u201cthe worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. [&#8230;] In a way, it is slavery, because it is making all of us subservient to the government.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sen. Rand Paul:<\/strong> Basically, once you imply a belief in a right to someone\u2019s services \u2014 do you have a right to plumbing? Do you have a right to water? Do you have right to food? You\u2019re basically saying you believe in slavery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>VA Atty Genl Ken Cuccinelli:<\/strong> &#8220;The founders knew how bad [slavery] was. We have other things in this country today and abortion is one of them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Former Rep. Allen West:<\/strong> He does not want you to have the self-esteem of getting up and earning, and having that title of American. He&#8217;d rather you be his slave.<\/li>\n<li><strong>NH Rep. Bill O&#8217;Brien:<\/strong> And what is Obamacare? It is a law as destructive to personal and individual liberty as the Fugitive Slave Act.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Glenn Beck:<\/strong> What do you think these federal jobs are all about? These federal jobs are not about helping anything. They are about getting people enslaved to the state.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Is this trend of comparing Obama&#8217;s agenda to slavery better than comparing him to Hitler? It&#8217;s a tough call. But many on the right may not mean it as an insult. There are some prominent conservatives who have publicly expressed their opinion that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=8184\" target=\"_blank\">slavery was actually a pretty good thing<\/a>.
