I grew up as a Jew in Occupied Europe, most of my family was killed in the Holocaust, and I take comparisons to it kind of personally.

I never knew that and can understand why you would be offended by the remark you quoted.

You have my sympathy and prayers for your loved ones lost.

With that said, I suggest you rethink your support of the propoganda of those that decimated your family. If you know what I mean.

Thanks for the note, Gabz. You know, I've actually read the piece of drivel that is Mein Kampf, and while there's a lot in there about Jews, international bankers, the Treaty of Versailles and Communists, there's remarkably little in there discussing the merits of public smoking bans in bars and restaurants. Maybe you should remember that words have consequences, and comparing relatively trivial political disputes to the crime of the century just seems wrong. Regarding the actual subject of this thread (and not our endless tobacco disputes, which I believe you were trying to reference), I think Obama would be a disastrous president. But just because I think he would be a disaster doesn't mean I think he's in any way reminiscent of Hitler.
