Rep. Michelle Bachmann signed a DVD containing speeches by conservative activist Kitty Werthmann, who (at this weekend's How To Take Back America conference) drew comparisons between Obama's election and the election of Hitler, and hinted at the coming of a "bloody battle," urging Americans to "keep your guns, and buy more guns, and buy ammunition."

Werthmann at How To Take Back America: "If we had our guns, we would have fought a bloody battle. So, keep your guns, and buy more guns, and buy ammunition. [...] Take back America. Don't let them take the country into Socialism. And I refer again, Hitler's party was National Socialism. [...] And that's what we are having here right now, which is bordering on Marxism."

Rep. Bachmann's signature on Werthmann's DVD, signed at the request of ThinkProgress:

Right-Wing Conference Tells Activists To Get Their Guns Ready For 'Bloody Battle' With Obama The Nazi<http://thinkprogress.org/2009/09/28/werthmann-nazism-socialism/>

At the How To Take Back America Conference last weekend, conservative speaker Kitty Werthmann led a workshop called "How to recognize living under Nazis & Communists." Announcing the panel in a column preceding the conference, talk show host Janet Porter gushed<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=110602> how Werthmann's description of Austria in the 1930s is a "mirror to America" today - noting "They had Joseph Goebbels; we have Mark Lloyd, the diversity czar." The room was packed over capacity to hear Werthmann, who grew up as a Christian in Austria and serves as Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum South Dakota President.

During her session, Werthmann went through a litany of examples of how President Obama is like Adolf Hitler. She noted that Hitler, who acted "like an American politician," was "elected in a 100% Christian nation." Although she failed to once mention Antisemitism or militarism, Werthmann explained how universal healthcare, an Equal Rights Amendment, and increased taxes were telltale signs of Nazism. Werthmann also warned the audience:

If we had our guns, we would have fought a bloody battle. So, keep your guns, and buy more guns, and buy ammunition. [...] Take back America. Don't let them take the country into Socialism. And I refer again, Hitler's party was National Socialism. [...] And that's what we are having here right now, which is bordering on Marxism.

Watch it:

Werthmann noted that her Nazism speech is gaining popularity. She not only has delivered it to several tea parties, but has been asked by "a group of bankers" to address them this month.

Before the event, ThinkProgress asked Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), one of several Republican members of Congress also speaking at the conference, to autographWerthmann's DVD<http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/how-take-back-america-nazis> about National Socialism. She happily obliged:
