Evoking the name of Hitler?

No and neither did any other American politician that has had "Godwin's Law" applied to them.

Bush was not Hitler and neither is Obama.

What lessons can we learn from the rise of Hitler? He was a popular charismatic leader who swept into power by telling people exactly what they wanted to hear and focusing their discontent and rage at an impotent minority. His followers blindly worshiped him and voted him into office in fair democratic elections. And even when he started a campaign of absolute evil, they turned a blind eye because they didn't want to see the truth. He created great prosperity for 95%, so why should they care if he murders the other 5%. By the time the Reich fell the people who supported him were too ashamed to admit what they had enabled him to do. Evoking Hitler is not really a condemnation on the particular political figure it is aimed at. It is more of a warning to his supporters to question authority and not give blind writs of absolute power just because someone is popular and charismatic. We should all, always remember, that Hitler didn't seize power in a military coup. He was elected by ordinary people who thought he was a great man. So any time, any political figure starts gaining too much power, and too much popularity, breaking out the old Hitler lesson to get people to slow down and think about it for a bit is not such a bad thing.

If the people who so causally throw around the name "Hitler" had actually lived under the real Hitler they would never utter that name again. I had a grandmother who survived under him and when his name was mentioned she would burst into tears. She had such horrible memories of that time she could barely get any words out.*

I agree with you. It just muddies the issue or argument, If there really is one. And it negates the true horror of Hitler and his Nazi regime. Which leads me to the same old argument that no one wants to hear or acknowledge. In the Republican party a small but vocal amount of people hate our President because of his race. Period.

What's Obabma got to do with evoking Hitlers name?

Obama is not a nazi and comparing him to hitler is stupid. He is a socialist, but I don't think he is evil. His policies will wreck our country if he is not opposed, but that is not the same thing as being evil.

Nein.

No and its ironic that its right wingers doing that, one minute they call him a socialist then a nazi at least they should make there minds up.

nein, but everyone who tries to make the government big brother has been compared to hitler.

Especially because Obama is as far from Hitler as one can get .
