"Hitler" comparisons.

[Gman]

We're looking back at the aftermath of Hitler. When you look at how he came to power in government as a popular leader, you have to acknowledge that history can repeat itself. We're dealing with human nature that really hasn't changed.

Yep, this... Obama actually has said and proposed a lot of things similar to Hitler, he's a great speaker and gets people fired up and emotion, just like Hitler. Other people are just using false comparisons because Hitler was a bad guy and projecting it onto folks they don't like that don't share any similarities to Hitler.

So by your same crazy comparison, Abe Lincoln was like Hitler, or George Washington. Truth is you guys just hate Obama viscerally and you are using excuses to tell yourself its ok.

He wasn't the worst http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/dictat.html

Can we please just stop already... There may be disturbing similarities to his dictatorial methodology in all corners of oppressive gov't today, but this is an old saw that I'm sick of hearing. Anonymous is comparing BO to Hitler, Bob Schieffer is comparing Wayne LaPierre to Hitler, it's just an incessant barrage of hyperbole. There's a difference between people who's viewpoints we vehemently are opposed to, and the largest mass-murderer in history. It's just ridiculous.

Lets have some respect for the millions of victims he inflicted his psychotic views on, and stop making light of his crimes by comparing every single fucking person we dislike to him.

I'm beyond tired of being told what words are no longer OK to use or what comparisons are no longer acceptable. I'd use examples but would find myself banned for not being politically correct.

Creating utopia is not my responsibility.

we're not using excuses but actual facts. it's not just obama but his entire administration

Wasn't Hitler a savior before a mass murderer........

.................... I dont think Obama is Hitler reincarnate anymore,

According to the hardcore/cultish religious groups he is the "ANTI CHRIST" and will bring about the New World Order / One world goverment, (why he needs us unarmed) the persecution of christians and ultimate the book of revelations/end of the world.


Just saying...............

I haven't made those comparisons myself. People usually tune out once you bring out the Hitler card. I'm just acknowledging that there is some history there that needs to be understood.

As long as there are people, there will be social engineering.

Hate him viscerally? Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. Doesn't mean it makes sense to call him Hitler. There's nothing wrong with pointing out disturbing similarities, which I agree with wholeheartedly. I'm just saying that it's been drastically overused and done to death for too long (decades). Anybody who sees someone else as evil or overbearing throws out the Hitler bit, no matter what the argumentative arena.

I don't get to impose my views on anybody, so take offense at your own choosing. Just expressing my opinion that immediately playing the Hitler card when expressing distaste for somebody, cheapens the memory of his atrocities and relegates him to just a derogatory epithet.
