“Radical leaders prey on the fearful & naive.”

Iowa tea party billboard likening Obama to Hitler and Lenin draws criticism - Los Angeles Times

The North Iowa Tea Party began displaying the billboard in downtown Mason City last week. The sign shows large photographs of Obama, Nazi leader Hitler and communist leader Lenin beneath the labels “Democrat Socialism,” “National Socialism,” and “Marxist Socialism.”

Beneath the photos is the phrase, “Radical leaders prey on the fearful & naive.”


The co-founder of the roughly 200-person group said the billboard was intended to send an anti-socialist message.

I like the use of the phrase, “Radical leaders prey on the fearful & naive.”

Is that "irony"?
