Once the name Hitler is invoked, the argument is lost.
My question is before Hitler, what could they call Republicans? Genghis Khan?
The comical side to this is if you stepped into some East Saint Louis neighborhood and brought up Hitler....only about thirty-percent of people would be able to identify the guy, what he did, and what country he came from. Half of them would say he was some fictional character from some 1980s mini-series.
