There has ever only been one Hitler.
There has thankfully never yet been an American politician or statesman to equal him in murderousness. Not even abortion,* our many wars, the terror bombing of Germany and Japan, or the atomic bombings, are equal to Nazi Germany's extermination of millions in the name of "Nordic racial superiority" and "lebensraum" for the German people.
The idea that the war of opportunity in Iraq, the Patriot Act, or else (God help us) Obama's health care reforms, are in some way equal to inciting World War II (with over 30 million killed) or the Holocaust (with some 12 million victims by way of deliberate industrial extermination) is obscene and idiotically ridiculous.
All such hyperbolic discourse is fraudulent, incites greater insanity, and needs to end.
Time to be sane and reasonable again.
Peace.
[*I'm going to discuss this particular assertion concerning abortion at length later on this blog.]
