Normally that is the case but some of the similarities here are very eary and so I think the analogy is apropo. Similarities, (1) Hitler built a personality cult - Obama is building a personality cult. (2) Hitler controlled the media so that he could define truth - Obama is more and more controlling the media. (3) Hitler gradually subverted the German Constitution and illegally accumulated more and more power in his own hands - Obama is subverting the American constitution and accumulating more and more power in his hands. 4. Hitler did not respect the lives of the unborn and the infirm - Obama does not respect the lives of the unborn and infirm. 5. Hitler devided the people and turned them against certain groups (like the jews) that he scapegoated and blamed for Germany’s economic collapse - Obama is turning the poor against the middle class (which he calls the rich) and is blaming them for America’s economic problems. Obviously I don’t know his end game but the starting positions are earily similar.
cults - Romney is currently in and has contributed much $$$ to propagation of the same.
media - nothing has changed since Nixon in this regard.
The constitution died in 1933. No one bothered to tell you I guess.
So I guess Romney is now the savior of the aborted? News to many of them unfortunate enough to be conceived in MA.
Hitler was smart, evil, and had a great stump speech. Obama can sometimes give a decent stump and may be evil, but you know he’d rather be golfing.

You’re right. The comparisons between them are eerie and scary. And you are not overstating it. Those who disregard these similarities either: (1) don’t have the education or are too ignorant to be students of history (those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it); or (2) don’t give a rat’s ass what happens to this country.
