Every Republican Presidential Candidate is Hitler - The Big Lie has been around for over 50 years.
Frontpage Mag ^ | March 18, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

-----

Accusing Republicans of being Hitler for assorted petty reasons dates back to the time when Hitler was still around. FDR accused Republican candidate Wendell Willkie of using “Hitler tactics” by repeating his slogans frequently. But it was the frequent associations of Republicans and Hitler by Democrats that was the true Big Lie. Its only purpose was a senseless association through the repetition of ridiculous and baseless accusations that every single Republican was just Hitler in a better suit.

-----

Republicans aren’t progressive. Therefore they’re Hitler. It’s really that simple.

-----

Optimists thought that the Democrats had reached “Peak Hitler” under Bush. But for the left there is no Peak Hitler. The same tired line of attack has been trotted out for fifty years. It will go on limping around the liberal corral for another fifty years or a hundred years. The Big Lie will continue being repeated to indoctrinate each new politically active progressive with the conviction that anyone to the right is Hitler and that every election is a brand new battle to stop Hitler 2.0 from taking over America.

-----

Goldwater was Hitler. Nixon was Hitler. Reagan was Hitler. Bush was Hitler. None of the latter three men declared the Fourth Reich, made themselves dictators for life and ran concentration camps. But the Big Lie retroactively rewrites the past by claiming that last decade’s Hitler was a decent moderate while the latest Republican Hitler is a terrifying monster. Goldwater, Nixon and Reagan were all resurrected as moderate contrasts to each other and then to Bush. The process of recreating Bush as a moderate has already begun. And so each Republican makes the electoral journey from Hitler to a political moderate whom a latter generation of liberals mourns while complaining that this latest Republican really is Hitler.

Any Republican Presidential Candidate who is against Socialism is apparently the re-incarnation of the leader of the National Socialists in Germany in the 1930’s according to brain damaged idiot liberal progressives....

Once the name Hitler is invoked, the argument is lost.

Ever notice the people accusing GOP candidates of being Hitler tend to be Communist/Marxist types?

“Anti-Fascist” groups are usually Pro-Communist.

Hillary is well versed in Alinsky’s rules.

The irony is that Hitler was a boy scout compared to the lefty communist and socialists in history. 120-160 million dead, depending on who you believe, not counting the dead infants killed because they were girls or someone wanted an abortion and they were thrilled to “help out.”

Their numbers killed were higher...but that was because they mostly were in power longer than Hitler. No one ever made a “boy scout” out of Hitler...the Holocaust alone stands out in the annals of history for it’s nightmarish thoroughness and endless cruelty...it was unique even amongst other genocidal crimes.

We are all hitler now, so says the hitlers doing all of the hitlering things.

The name hitler has usurped the word f!@# as an expletive. Like the word f!@#, hitler can be used a noun, verb, adjective, conjunction, and even a prepositional phrase!

The sad part is how many “conservatives” have bought into this narrative about Trump being Hitler like, and maybe even worse.
