Scott's staff arrived at his Smyrna, Ga., office Tuesday morning to find the Nazi graffiti emblazoned on a sign bearing the lawmaker's name. The vandalism occurred roughly a week after Scott was involved in a contentious argument over health care at a community meeting.

Scott, who is black, said he also has received mail in recent days that used N-word references to him, and that characterized President Barack Obama as a Marxist.

"We have got to make sure that the symbol of the swastika does not win, that the racial hatred that's bubbling up does not win this debate," Scott said in a telephone interview. "There's so much hatred out there for President (Barack) Obama."

A moderate Democrat who represents a majority-white district near Atlanta, Scott said he thinks the racism is isolated but can't be ignored. He said the swastika probably was intended as a warning. He hopes it instead persuades reasonable people to maintain a more substantive debate over health care changes.

"We must not allow it to intimidate us," he said.

Scott said his office immediately notified authorities, including the U.S. Capitol Police, who have warned lawmakers about potential threats stemming from the increasingly emotional debate over health care reform. An FBI spokesman said the bureau is investigating along with Capitol Police and the Smyrna Police Department.

Scott's Smyrna office is located in a bank building, so the congressman said he was optimistic that surveillance cameras captured the vandalism.

At an Aug. 1 community meeting in Douglasville, Ga., Scott angrily yelled at protesters who peppered him with questions and complaints about Democratic health care proposals. He has said he was upset that they interrupted a meeting that was supposed to be about plans for a new highway in the area.

The one time I engaged in an intelligent conversation with neonazis, they claimed to be socialists, though not communists, opposed to capitalism. It demanded quite a bit of taxation for government run industries, schools, and even welfare, in addition to the more infamous stuff.

Granted, politics is burdened with doubletalk, no matter where you go. People who claim to stand for a republic, a democracy, liberty, or socialism rarely ever live up to it.

Dervish is right.

Hitler and Mussolini were both Socialists, adopted Socialist schemes, said they were Socialists and Socialists have been running away from Hitler and Mussolini for more than 60 years. American and British Socialists thought the Socialist Hitler was a jolly good fellow when he signed the non aggression pact with Stalin.

This happened when Hitler's V-1 rockets and German bombs were raining down on British cities including London. Hitler was a jolly good fellow then.

Let's get it straight.

Hitler didn't personally whisper the words..."I'm a Socialist" in your ear..so, Hitler wasn't a Socialist.

In spite of Hitler's own words..."I'm a Socialist; in spite of the name of Hitler's party "National Socialists"; in spite of the Nazis adopting Socialist policies and using the words Socialist and Socialism to describe their policies; since Hitler didn't personally whisper..."I'm a Socialist" in your ear...then Hitler wasn't a Socialist.

Socialism is Fascism. All one need do is look at what O'Bomber has already done.

O'Bomber has nationalized...taken over 2 out of three of US auto companies.

O'Bomber has nationalized...taken over the financial sector of the economy.

O'Bomber is attempting to nationalize...take over the health care industry which is 17% of the total US economy.

How would whispering in my ear differ? You could whisper in my ear that you're an intelligent guy. Doesn't make it so.

There really is no logic in you, is there?

Obama's administration has been approached by auto companies asking for a bailout. Obama's administration has been approached by the financial sector for a bailout. Let's not be idiots, and try to make this look at though this administration was looking to play a part in those companies. And let's not say that attaching conditions to these bailouts constitutes the notion that these private institutions are publicly run.

acoustic, you make and seem to have not a shred of common sense.

Hitler said he was a Socialist...and I showed you the quote straight out of Hitler's writings.

Hitler's party...the National Socialist Party isn't something I made up...and again, I showed you the real name of Hitler's party.

So acoustic, if you wouldn't believe it then, the only thing left to convince you is Hitler personally whispering in your tender little ear..."I'm a Socialist, get it bud?"

acoustic, you are so full of bullshiit that it oozes out of every pore of your body. You have showed no such thing

Your big chance acoustic.

List all the ways in which I am like Hitler...the Socialist dictator in whose head I would have happily put a bullet.

On the other hand, O'Bomber is adopting the very same policies of nationalizing business and industries..as Hitler did.

Further, it's O'Bomber who wants a private civilian army of thugs...Brown Shirts...at his beck and call.

you would like to deport everyone who has a different idea of what america is - ie dissenters from your (minority) view

you believe it is commendable to shoot people you don't approve of

you refuse to take in any information that does not jibe with your predetermined view of things

yes they say we become what we fear/resist...

so you carry on, jwhop, i'm done with this. it is futile and i have no desire to wallow in it anymore.you want to bring nazi america on yourself you go right ahead.

and yes, i know i've said it before...

"Until we admit there are things we don't know, we can't even start asking the questions to find out. Until we admit that America can make a mistake, we can't stop the next one. A smart guy named Chesterton once said: "My country, right or wrong is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying... It is like saying 'My mother, drunk or sober.'" To which most Americans would respond: "Are you calling my mother a drunk?" bill maher
