Those words begin this stark, frank, and -- unfortunately -- utterly necessary column by the very fine writer Leonard Pitts, Jr..
The subject is Nazis, who seem to be everywhere these days.
Read on: I hope this column makes you sick.
See, we'll be talking about Nazis, something many of us are doing lately. Indeed, just this week a fellow named Joseph e-mailed me about a caller he heard on a radio show. The man, vexed over healthcare reform, likened President Obama to Adolf Hitler. Asked why, he said, ``Hitler took over the car companies, then healthcare and then he killed the Jews.''
Said Joseph: ``I almost swerved my vehicle off the road when I heard that.''
But the caller is hardly unique. Google ``Obama + Nazis'' and you get almost seven million hits. Nor is the phenomenon new. Substitute President Bush's name and you get nearly 2.8 million.

50 million dead from abortion in the US since Roe v. Wade.
That is twice the number of illegal immigrants we have in this country.
The National Socialist Workers Party of Germany, otherwise known as the Nazi Party, was socialist, and it had a lot in common with the modern left. Hitler preached class warfare, agitating the working class to resist “exploitation” by capitalists — particularly Jewish capitalists, of course. Their program called for the nationalization of education, health care, transportation, and other major industries. They instituted and vigorously enforced a strict gun control regimen. They encouraged pornography, illegitimacy, and abortion, and they denounced Christians as right-wing fanatics. Yet a popular myth persists that the Nazis themselves were right-wing extremists. This insidious lie biases the entire political landscape, and the time has come to expose it.

Well said. I think Leonard Pitts did a tap dance, if you ask me, around the abortion issue.
Well, there is one major difference. Hitler killed the Jews in concentration camps with gas chambers and such. Obama will not kill the Jews, he will just allow Iran to nuke them.
Like accusing someone of McCarthyism?
After EIGHT YEARS of BUSH = HITLER, Pitts finally writes an article about how bad it was to call Bush “Hitler”.
Where was Pitts from 2001 through 2008?
Did he EVER address this issue while Bush was being assailed?
By the way, this stooge is lying by omission.
Google prunes out older web content now.
Yahoo doesn’t as much

recall too that Google will fudge your words now (swap fascists for fascist for fascism etc).
Pitts is a race-baiting whiner.
His columns sicken me.
Nothin’ says I love ya like playing this on a call to Jewish Rabbis.

Ayers’ group foresaw genocide of capitalists
Informer says communist U.S. envisioned, re-education centers, 25 million ‘eliminated’
In a session with members of the radical group, founded in 1969, Grathwohl said discussion centered on a future in which the communist nations of Cuba, North Korea, China and the Soviet Union would occupy various parts of the U.S., with “re-education centers” established in the Southwest to prevent counterrevolution.
“I asked, ‘Well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?’ And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated.”
Grathwohl, who worked as an operative for law enforcement agencies in Cincinnati, said when he pursued the genocide issue further, the Weather Underground members “estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these re-education centers.”
“And when I say ‘eliminate,’ I mean ‘kill,’” he continued. “Twenty-five million people.”
When some grew suspicious and made their concerns known, the Nazis simply mowed them down. Those of us who were born shortly after WWII never got to see Hitler when he was an up and coming politician. We got to see what was left in his wake, our father's nightmares from the horrors of the war, their tears at the overwhelming losses.
Up to that point, Hitler was a swell guy and great dancer. No one EVER thinks it's the devil when he has his arm around your shoulder and speaks words of comfort and enticement.
It doesn't denigrate results of the historical Hitler. It reminds us the devil is in the details and all hooks are baited with something enticing.
I got 666 results, then my monitor caught fire.
Notice how they never address how Obama has been called a Marxist or Stalinist or Socialist. But Hitler, WHOA. Stalin killed 20 million of his own people, no biggie. Then again one of FDR’s own Vice President’s visited Stalin’s gulags and said nothing.
EVEN in America there was a hush hush police on denouncing Hitler (prior to our entering the war).
Hollywood was afraid that they would lose a sizable foreign market (and people TRIED to make anti-Nazi films going back to 1936).
And Communist Party USA stood with Mother Russia (which has signed a pact with Hitler) in denouncing any move for the US to go to war againt Nazi Germany.
I think Obama is a lying huckster, is in way over his head, wouldn't know good economic policy if it slapped him in the face, is a racist and owes his election to a combination of an activist media and millions of uninformed voters who elected him simply because he shares their skin color. But he is not Hitler, and I think we minimize the magnitude of the destruction Hitler wrought by these comparisons.
Besides, Hitler was capable of writing his own book ... and had anyone in the early 1930’s read it, his aims were crystal clear. Obama purposefully ties to hide his agenda and, with the cooperation of a love-struck media, has done a pretty good job.
