He's not comparing it to the murder of Jews, he's comparing it to the murder of thousands of disabled Germans.

It happened, and the justification offered for it does bear similiarities to this situation.

I am Jewish, half of my family was murdered in the Holocaust, and I do not consider this article on the murder of the disabled to be offensive in any way.

I'm not sure I see any similarities. If Judge Greer did not believe that Terri herself wanted to end her life in this manner, she would still be on feeding tubes. I doubt that Hitler made such a distinction. BTW, others on this thread are making the comparison with the holocaust.

The issue is not whether you personally are offended, but how the majority of Americans are interpreting these kinds of comparisons. It would appear that Terri Schiavo's life or death issue cannot stand on its own merits but must be somehow pumped up either with the death of Christ on the cross or with genocide issues. This kind of lunacy merely feeds the MSM's insatiable desire to discredit the right in any way it can.

The Nazis did not land from outer space one day and take over. Hitler and his ilk took advantage of the cultural disintigration that happened after WWI -- they were part of the process of cultural disintigration. Certain legal elements of the Third Reich were already in place when the Nazis took over. Then the definition of "life unworthy of life" was ever-expanded. Who is to say that there is not some Hitler-like person today who is eagerly working to undermine just and humane standards in America or many other countries? If a country adopts a culture of death this is fertile ground for the next Hitler to appear.
