SNL alum says Obama is basically Hitler 1 hr 47 mins ago
“Saturday Night Live” alum Victoria Jackson wants you to know that President Obama is just like Hitler.
In a column written for WorldNetDaily called “The 3 scariest things about Obama,” Jackson writes that Obama is a socialist “(like Hitler),” controls the media “(like Hitler)” and has the right to form a private army “(like Hitler)” according to a provision in the health care reform bill. (Former ‘Saturday Night Live’ star Victoria Jackson blasts ‘Glee’)
(The private army she refers to in the health care bill is actually a “reserve corps” of medical professionals who would act in medical emergencies and be involved with disease prevention.)
Other things Hitler and Obama have in common, according to Jackson:
their fathers were communists and alcoholics they both had white mothers they moved often as young people they changed their names (Jackson is likely referring to Obama going by a nickname, “Barry,” in his younger days) they both gave big speeches in large venues they both had youth groups they both “pretended to be ‘Christian’”

Godwin’s law (also known as Godwin’s Rule of Nazi Analogies or Godwin’s Law of Nazi Analogies)[1][2] is a humorous observation made by Mike Godwin in 1990[2] which has become an Internet adage. It states: “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1 (100%).”[3][2] In other words, Godwin put forth the hyperbolic observation that, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably criticizes some point made in the discussion by comparing it to beliefs held by Hitler and the Nazis.
He doesn’t wear a brown suit. And he doesn’t have a mustache.
I’m presently reading a book about Hitler and, yes, the similarities are creepy!!!
People who never read Mein Kampf had no idea what they were up against. Those who read it and dismissed it were rudely and fatally surprised. Same-same with obama's putrescent screeds--ignore them at your peril.
What’s lost in Godwin’s law is that sometimes the comparisons are entirely legitimate and appropriate.
Here’s another amazing column, comparing 0bama to Hitler:

They’re so similar, it’s spooky.
(The other thing Marx got right was his critique of the method of German philosophy in his German Ideology, which amusingly demolishes not only Kant and Hegel, but his own work as well!)
Godwin’s Law: Superseded by events.
My sense is that she is not 100% serious but rather trying to show how ridiculous the BUSH IS HITLER comparisons were.
Neither President is “like Hitler,” but she’s pointing out that Obama sure is CLOSER that was Bush (even though it was considered MAINSTREAM liberal criticism to call Bush “Hitler”).
Because variants of statism and socialism are similar to each other in many ways, individual statists and socialists will be similar to each other.

By rumor, Hitler had only one testicle.
By appearances, that is one more than Obama.
Obama is a National Socialist

Very interesting! You’re right - when the discussions gets heated enough, this comparison is likely to occur.
Hitler was a classical, garden-variety tyrant, so comparisons to other tyrants are probably merited.
Islam instead of Nazis.
They are both control freaks, one evil and one “benevolent” (by his own standards).
