It goes without saying that Obama supporters do not condone the nastier genocidal bits of National Socialism, but the Big Lie, described by Hitler and perfected by Joseph Goebbels, is a familiar leftist tactic. It is described by its creators below:   The broad masses of a nation...more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.  -- Adolf Hitler , Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X
