I don't know when it started, but I remember President Bush being compared to Hitler. Obama is compared to Hitler on a regular basis as well. Folks who support one side seem to have no qualms about saying that a politician from the other side is being "like" Hitler or is fascist or communist or socialist or all three (and others at the same time). Either hyperbole has gone through the window or we really didn't pay attention in history class. So, here's a primer:
I didn't like President Bush still NOT Hitler-like Hitler-esque or anything close.
Don't care for a lot of what Obama has done. Still, he's not like Hitler.
Neither is Nancy Pelosi or John Boehner.
I loathe, loathe, loathe Rick Santorum and want everyone to Google his name. Doesn't mean he's anything like Hitler.
Neither is Michael Bloomberg or Mark Dayton or Newt ("I got better") Gingrich, or Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann or Harry Reid or Herman Cain or Van Jones or Mitt Romney or Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden or anyone else in our government. They're all people of good will (some may be idiots but probably the folks I think are idiots aren't the same as the folks you think are idiots).
And, whether you're inebriated or not, saying that both sides of the aisle can't work together is ridiculous. Hank Williams Jr. has apologized for the latest gaffe. Any hope it can be the last?
