Comparing the other guy to Hitler is OK, right?
That said, this kind of bullshit on BOTH sides of the aisle is just ridiculous. So very tired of it.

MoveOn held an open user-submit competition to find a new ad. Tens of thousands of videos were uploaded; that was one of them. When MoveOn became aware of the video, they deleted it from the submission site.
Trying to bring that video up as proof is like pulling up a rejected comment from Gawker and claiming it ran as a post.

I'm just saying that for all the comparisons of Bush to Hitler, I never heard a single Democrat speak up against it... and now here we are.
The real question is: do you agree with characterizing a politician such as Obama or Bush as Hitler? I personally think it's wrong in both cases.

Resorting to the "Hitler!" argument is lazy, childish, and broadcasts to the world that you are not intellectually fit enough to grasp and argue the actual topic at hand. That goes for the left and the right.
....that said, I do not recall the Democrats championing anyone who linked Nazis and GWB. I don't recall real-life instances of leftist crowds toting Nazi-esque propaganda. The Republicans and their media mouthpieces do not appear to have the same decency threshold.

Hell, a simple "Bush Hitler" search on Google nets 7 million hits.
And I don't see the Republicans "championing" such behavior. They should be denouncing such behavior, along with the "birther" movement. And on the same token, the Democrats should have done the same during Bush's term, but they didn't. Such is politics these days in America. Why actually discuss issues when you can call the other guy a Nazi or a Socialist?

What is WITH the right-wingers calling everyone Nazis? In fact, I'm not sure how this health program is in any way a Nazi program. I didn't hear any references to showers, gassing, extermination of ethnic minorities, plans to conquer Poland with healthcare, etc. etc.
For all the crazies leaving unapproved right-wing comments, now's your time. If you can coherently and politely state your view, I'll promote your comments so everyone can see your view! Please, no ethnic or religious references--just because Jesus wouldn't approve doesn't mean it's a bad plan.

It's probably most accurate to describe Larouche as an cult leader and opportunist who aligns himself with the losing side each election cycle in order to profit from the anger/victim status the crazy folk on each side are feeling.
He's run for office on like 7 different political platforms so when it comes to getting on the ballot he is pure opportunist.
Calling someone a "Larouche Democrat" is similar to calling out someone as a "Ron Paul Republican" -- total nonsense. Both are aligned with a party purely for ballot access reasons.
My $.02 of course.
