The Hitler Nuance

Justin Logan of the Cato institute says it's well past time that we stop using the Hitler reference. Oh, my bad, he didn't say all of us, just the Republicans and never mentions that it is standard jargon for most leftists when talking about Bush:

If you live in the United States and want to start a war, the first step is to compare the foreign leader to Adolf Hitler. This technique was on display in a recent PBS NewsHour debate between Norman Podhoretz, a foreign policy adviser to Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, and Fareed Zakaria, editor of Newsweek International. At least four times during the debate, Podhoretz likened the clerical regime in Tehran to the Nazis. He argued that there is a danger that Iran may "replace [the existing global order] with a new order dominated by Iran and ruled by the religio-political culture of Islamofascism."

Podhoretz is one man and his analogy was actually apt. What of the The New Republic and just about every other liberal outlet comparing Bush to Hitler? You see you idiot wingnuts, that's acceptable because Bush=Hitler is their fetid minds.

Hey Justin, buddy. Take a minute and use that new device called a search engine and try Googling the phrase Bush=Hitler and see what comes up. Let's see, we have a lib who found 31 similarities between Bush and Hitler, a Bush connection to the Holocaust, an idiot who says it was hypnosis that both Bush and Hitler used on the masses, an entire blog entitled Bush Is Hitler, and it goes on and on and on...

So please spare us Mr. Logan, you are not an idiot one suspects since you are a fellow at the Cato Institute, please tell all sides of the story as someone with an iota of journalistic or moralistic integrity should. You do nothing but bring shame upon an institution that has managed to maintain its good name...at least until today.
