NASHUA – As far as
Boston-based activist Adrian Yule is concerned, President Barack Obama is a “narcissist in the image of Emperor Nero,” an indefensible war criminal bent on assassinating U.S. citizens.

Yule was one of two activists set up on the sidewalk in front of the Nashua post office on Spring Street on Wednesday, raising money for the LaRouche PAC. The group believes Obama is “Adolph Hitler and worse” because of his access to nuclear weapons.

Set up near Buckingham Place, a veterans housing facility, they posted signs featuring Obama with a Hitler-style mustache. That didn’t sit well with Cleaven Ferguson, a Merrimack resident and Air Force veteran of the Vietnam War, who reached out to The Telegraph because he was offended.

“We fought the Nazis because of Hitler’s policies,” he said. “I’m not going to be silent about this right now. I sacrificed and other guys sacrificed for this kind of foolishness? I’m not going to duck right now. This is war right now if this is the respect the president of the United States gets from people.”

Yule said the image of Obama-as-Hitler is the easiest way to show people that Obama is as much a fascist as Hitler.

“The truth hurts,” he said. “It’s the quickest, simplest metaphorical way to say outright he is a fascist.”

The group was seeking donations and handing out literature about what they say are the policies of the Obama administration that are pushing the United States and the rest of the world toward “the very brink of thermonuclear conflict and potential extinction.”

The LaRouche PAC is based on the beliefs of Lyndon LaRouche and calls for Obama’s impeachment. Yule said the U.S. involvement in the civil war in Libya and killing Muammar Kadafi was an impeachable offense, as are the directed killings of U.S. citizens and the passage of “Obamacare,” which he called an “act of evil.”

Several people stopped by the table to browse the materials and some gave donations.

“People are scared and people are freaked out, and they don’t want to be a target,” Yule said.

Other people ignored the booth or just said they supported Obama and moved on.

Holly Shulman, the Obama campaign’s New Hampshire spokeswoman, declined to comment.

David Tenzca, chairman of the Nashua City Democrats, was not immediately available for comment Wednesday afternoon.
