of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Martin Luther King, while commentators
outside the movement regard him variously as an anti-Semite.
LaRouche compared Obama to Adolf Hitler, and the proposed health-
insurance reform to Hitler's Action T4 euthanasia program. He said
Americans must "quickly and suddenly change the behavior of this
president ... for no lesser reason than that your sister might not end
up in somebody's gas oven." The movement printed pamphlets showing
Obama and Hitler laughing together, and posters of Obama wearing a
Hitler-style mustache. In Seattle, police were called twice in
response to people threatening to tear the posters apart, or to
assault the LaRouche supporters holding them.
