FRANKENMUTH -- Visitors to Frankenmuth this Christmas weekend were greeted Friday by controversial signs that depict President Obama with a Hitler mustache.

A group from metro Detroit calling themselves the La Rouche Pac demonstrated on a street corner in Little Bavaria. They say President Obama is instrumental in creating a global climate for World War Three.  Alan Egre, one of the organizers, said, “[Obama] just passed a bill under the National Defense Authorization Act which, you can be detained and be held indefinitely and that's what Hitler started with."

Some passersby honked in support of the demonstrators.  Others laughed or yelled at the protesters.
