Quote from drjekyllus:
GannTrader, I really wouldn't worry about it. Leftwingers don't really have any issues with 90% of Hitlers policies. In fact the great big nanny, socialist state that Hitler created in Germany is quite appealling to most left-wingers in the US. They would absolutely love it if a left-wing dictator usurped power and pushed a radical socialist agenda through without having to deal with that pesky Constitution. They see the Constitution as an antiquated document which is not suited to provide a basis of government in the 21st century. If you want to see where the left stands on radical socialist dictatorships look at Chavez, the parallels between Chavez and Hitler are a lot greater than anything going on in the US, and THE LEFT LOVES HIM. Just a few months ago Obama was hanging out with him and Obama had a huge smile on his face as they chatted. It seemed almost like Obama meet his long lost brother(of course not his poor impoverished brother who lives in a mudhut). So trust me, the left and Naomi Wolf have no issue with 90% of Hitler's policies.
So you may be asking yourself what do the leftists and everyone else hate about Hitler. Its the dead jews. It's the conquest of Europe and beyond. Its genocide. Thats what people associate with Hitler. The rest of the policies are in-line with your average left-wing statist agenda. So until she can provide proof that Bush or other members of the government are perpetrating genocide, the whole presentation is a hollow argument. Its really bait and switch.
