> Obama got elected and some indulged in variations of the 'he's Hitler' BS Being called Hitler by "some" after simply being elected, unrelated to any action is definitely useless "Hitler BS". > but the current reaction by the extreme neo-left is a magnitude of order worse Drawing parallels to current actions might be hyperbolic or extreme or unfair, but not as dumb - definitely not orders of magnitude. |

Maybe I should have inserted more qualifiers, but I deliberately didn't say that. The friends I refer to didn't make the "he's Hitler" arg at or before election time. They lost, they knew it, and they thought about why they lost instead of doubling down on the mistake of picking the Obama global government equivalent on the right. Later on some made those implications by inflating relatively minor actions that fit a pattern they were looking for. I was happy he beat Obomney. Better to let the pendulum swing.
