These guys on the other hand, hilarious. Cheerleaders in camo pants.

After 8 years of how we're supposed to be scared of the crypto-fascists and the fundamentalist extremists in the Republican Party, here you have Obama followers behaving EXACTLY like the original fascists did to instill their political agenda into the young. This is classic Hitler Youth behavior. There was a scene in a documentary a year or two ago with some Fundamentalist Christian kids being led by a teacher in praying for President Bush. The obvious message we were supposed to get was something sinister out of that, which is total nonsense but a lot of people bought it.

Plus, there are, like, twelve of them.  Mass movements need to get a little more mass to them before they scare me.
