Agreed. But of course that is their first reaction. First they must identify the opposition by way of demonizing them.
It's never 'why are they opposing me' but rather 'who sent them?'
Naturally it's because this is exactly the way they have conducted their lives so they know no other way.
LaRouche. Huh. Nice reporting from behind your desk with rumor and innuendo. From the Dan Rather school of journalism.
“The White House’s latest claim? People are coming to town hall meetings carrying swastikas. Dressed up as Hitler.”....
Hey Obama! You and your circus are showing signs of desperation everywhere!....
They’re getting hammered so they’re doing what any scheisster would do: throwing as much s*** as they can against the wall, hoping something sticks.

Playing the Hitler Card demonizes opponents in debate by associating them with evil, and almost always derails the discussion. People naturally resent being associated with Nazism, and are usually angered. In this way, playing the Hitler Card can be an effective distraction in a debate, causing the opponent to lose track of the argument. However, when people become convinced by guilt by association arguments that their political opponents are not just mistaken, but are as evil as Nazis, reasoned debate can give way to violence. So, playing the Hitler Card is more than just a dirty trick in debate, it is often “fighting words”.
John Dingell (D-Mich) on MSNBC:
“Well, the last time I had to confront something like this was when I voted for the civil rights bill and my opponent voted against it. At that time, we had a lot of Ku Klux Klan folks and white supremacists and folks in white sheets and other things running around causing trouble”.
