I agree that we must avoid odious comparisons. They can only be counterproductive, and comparisons to Hitler break down at a number of points. But the broader comparison of a highly developed country, in the midst of stress, falling into the hands of thugs is apt.

"...and comparisons to Hitler break down at a number of points...."

Correct. Hitler was a good public speaker, and did not require a teleprompter.

Obama, not so much!
