You know, similarities or not I cannot say that those traits and actions mean the same outcome is in our future - which sort of debunks the whole reason for the comparison in the first place.

It's easy to make these kinds of comparisons if you really look and, most importantly, really want for these comparisons to be true. Just take a look at the disturbing comparisons between Kennedy and Lincoln (i.e., Kennedy's assistant was named Lincoln and Lincoln's assistant named Kennedy - but this is a stretch since SO many people worked under these men) or all of the "prophesies" of Nostradamus.

I dislike Barry as much as the next extreme right wing nutbag and if I look closely enough I could probably find a dozen similarities between him and any villain in history because I want to find them.

So, is he like Hitler? In many ways. How about Stalin or Genghis Khan or Vlad the Impaler for that matter? Probably. Of course he is probably a lot like many heroes in history as well - if you look close enough and nitpick enough.
