"P-THomann" Poisoning and The Evolution of a News Story from Capital Punishment to The National Stage

By Paul Foer (paul@foerfront.com)

You all remember the story a few weeks back about what local Republican activist and leader Joyce Thomann wrote comparing Obama and Hitler on the Republican Women of AA County's web-site? The story made national news and one astute reader said the story was broken here--in fact, he was the one who turned me on to the story after other media were ignoring it. But first, from Today's Capital which reports that Thomann will give a private talk titled "Setting the Record Straight" next month to her club on Aug. 12. Got that? A private talk. It's not open to the public.

Republican Women in Deep Doo-doo, Bowling and Weikel Weigh In, Democrats Should Consider Weikel in Similar Light

By Paul Foer (paul@foerfront.com)

It looks as if Joyce and CHuck Thomann's nasty and irresponsible rhetoric is earning them the reaction it deserves. This made big headlines in the blogosphere and some readers have told me that mega-blogs Huffington Post and Daily Kos picked their stories up from little old me. Huh-wuddya know?

Republican candidate for Ward Three Scott Bowling has taken the high road and distanced himself from this scene. Among other things, he wrote:

In an open letter on the Republican Women of Anne Arundel County Maryland website, Joyce Thomann stated that President “Obama and Hitler have a great deal in common in my view.” I forcefully reject this view enunciated by Ms.

RWAAC Digs Itself in Deeper

By Paul Foer (paul@foerfront.com)

Following a post about a local Republican organization comparing President Obama to Hitler, I received the below letter from Chuck Thomann, whose email address is that of Jan Thomann, head of that organization. His words below:

Face facts, Hitler came to power as a Socialist advocating many programs that Obama and his liberal/socialist friends are advocating. Hitler promised a Volkswagen in every garage as well as other things which appealed to the average German during Germany’s great depression after World War I. The extermination of millions of innocent people and the WWII came later after Hitler took dictatorial power, and the German people would never have accepted him if they are realized what would happen.

If the United Nations, and the powers it represents, is as [...]
