Twitter index: microbloggers outraged over Obama-Hitler comparison, World Animal Day
Twitter users are outraged that country singer Hank Williams Jr. compared President Barack Obama to Hitler during Fox News's morning news show “Fox & Friends.”
“How are people justifying comparing Obama to Hitler? The latter was a mass murdering psychopath, unless I've been under a rock,Obama isn't” and “Hank Williams Jr. compares Obama to Hitler. Suspect Hitler's victims would have chosen Obama's health care bill to genocide. Just a guess,” post Twitterers.
Others joke that, “I can't believe Hank Williams Jr. compared Obama to Hitler. Hitler got way more legislation passed” and “if we've learned anything from hank williams jr comparing obama to hitler it's that you can't ask a guy in a cowboy hat about black people.”
At the top of Twitter’s trending topics are the hashtags “#IfICouldDoItOverAgain” and “#HowToMakeItInAmerica,” the name of a US TV show that just began its second season.
