An Iowa Tea Party group is coming under fire after putting up a billboard comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin.

The attacks are even coming from within the right wing group.

The North Iowa Tea Party began displaying the sign in Mason City last week.

The sign includes photos of Obama, Nazi leader Hitler and Communist leader Lenin with the statement: "radical leaders prey on the fearful & naive."

The groups leaders say the sign highlights what they argue is Obama's support for Socialism.
