Bill O’Reilly compared secularists, the ACLU, and advocates of Iraqi withdrawal to Hitler.
But Olbermann showed up in an O’Reilly mask and gave a Nazi salute, which was apparently “over the line.”
That’s okay, Keith, Ted Turner thought Fox News a little Hitler-ish, too.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Israel is acting like Hitler.
Angela Merkel turned around and said it was Ahmadinejad who was Hitler. She’s behind the times, though. Olmert said it in April.
Some dude called Al Gore’s movie Hitler. Then a Senator said it was like Mein Kampf. Sterling Burnett clears Gore’s name by simply calling him Goebbels.
Before Rummy lit his ass up, The Donald thought Zarqawi might be Hitler. He’d called Hugo Chavez Hitler 2 months before, but I guess Hitler’s soul gets around.
Jesse Jackson thought the Repubs of ‘96 were German fascists.
Apparently, Scientology is Hitler.
Also, “everyone involved with MoveOn.org.”
And al-Qaeda and Saddam. Bin Laden, too.
This guy wasn’t like Hitler but sure was obsessed with his diet.
We all know Ann Coulter’s gone the way of the tiny mustache.
Would you believe John Bolton?
You might believe Schwartzenegger or the Pope. I think you’d definitely believe Milosovic.
According to someone at the site, ahem, “Canada Kicks Ass,” Hamas is like Hitler. It seems New Zealanders prefer to compare the Chinese to him.
Rick Santorum tried to compare someone to Hitler, but no one’s exactly sure who he meant.
It’s gotten so bad that some fundies compare Satan to Hitler. No no, not the other way ’round, I’m afraid. It seems Hitler is even scarier than the Prince:
Satan, like Hitler, believes in his own lies. And like Hitler, the more power he gets, the more emboldened and the more daring he becomes.
In other news, Jimmy Carter is like Hitler.
Clinton, too.
Bill Mahar once called Laura Bush “Hitler’s dog,” but almost everyone in the world has compared Bush to Hitler.
Nothing beats a kitler, though, does it? Except maybe a Hitler squirrel.
I hear Hitler was Hitler. Though I don’t really trust the source.
I have declared Punkass Marc the ultimate in Hitlerosity.
i’m a really bad painter, and i used to be a vegetarian in high school. maybe I’M hitler.
The funniest post about Hitler I’ve read in a long time.
What’s with the making fun of people who compare other people to Hitler? What are you, some sort of Hitler Nazi?
Don’t be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi party!…
It’s like Godwin’s Moebius Strip, all turned back onto itself and twisty-like…
Last weekend, my friends were counterprotesting against the Minutemen. Some of the Minutemen had swastika tattoos. Part of the reason to avoid tossing around labels carelessly is the real thing is out there.
You mentioned Bill, but did you forget Hitlery Klinton? (urgh. I feel dirty for typing that)?
Of course this reminds me of an old xoverboard strip:

I think Hitler was totally Bushish.
Or at least Rovian.
Just be careful on rainy Sunday afternoons, not to go invading Poland, and limit the lebensraum to an extra bedroom or two.
Lebensraum gives me the wind something terrible.
“What’s with the making fun of people who compare other people to Hitler? What are you, some sort of Hitler Nazi?”
“Lebensraum gives me the wind something terrible.”
These two comments nearly made me spew coffee on my monitor. Twice in as many minutes: we may have a new record!
Godwin has wandered into a hall of mirrors and cannot find his way back out.
On validating experience (and some other things)…
Amanda Marcotte recaps her experiences at the recent NOW conference. For me, a highlight of her post was reading this:
I was particularly interested in a speaker (Jessica Vasquez was her name, if I remember right) who spoke about the issue of domestic …
[...] “For example, feminism is not about taking away the choice to have children or to learn about maternity leave options. Feminism is about teaching the world that any woman may be just as likely to choose never to get pregnant as to choose to get pregnant. This means she should be the one to inquire about maternity leave if she is interested, or at least be presented with a question like “Are you interested in our maternity leave plan?” Because just launching into it implies you see her as a baby machine by default, and that can be a tad insensitive. So we fight against this without reminding everyone that opting to have a kid is also okay because it’s functionally impossible to take that choice away. Also, I love Hitler!” [...]
Of course, sometimes Hitler really IS an apt comparison.

I have this bad feeling that in fifty or sixty years, Hitler won’t be the one who gets used in all the hack analogies…
haha Quin, so it is clear that you honestly believe someday we will be saying, “this [current evil dictator] is reminiscent of Bush” and expect people to react in horror the way we do when we currently hear the name Hitler.
Except that, Hitler used the power of a nation to gas and kill almost 6 million people based solely on their race, whereas Bush deposed the ruthless dictator of an oppressed people and *freely* handed them the keys to reestablish their country with the full support of one of the most powerful nations on earth.
But someday, children will run in fear when hearing the name of Bush. lol

Yeah, Quin. I mean, didn’t you know that we got showered with rose petals when we invaded, and everyone today in Iraq is happy that we shat on the basics of international diplomacy and financed a war of aggression in which we shot a lot of random people and bombed buildings with women and children inside? Sheesh, dude. You need to step back and reevaluate your priorities. Besides, the world will glorify us when we’ve finally killed all the
