On the Internet, it seems, almost everybody is, in due course, compared to Schickelgruber. It's Godwin's Law:
"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

Who in their right minds would compare ANY United States' President to Hitler??? We have had great presidents and we have some really bad ones. Even the REALLY bad ones don't compare to Hitler. Bush may not be the best president we've ever had, but he certainly is not the worst (even in my lifetime). Every president we have ever had in this country has been at bare minimum head and shoulders above that mad man. Even Nixon (the only president to leave office prior to the end of his term without dying) was better than Hitler.

Acts of virtue and wisdom are always commendable to humanity. They are performed thoughtfully keeping specific needs of a time in particular and human welfare in general. This means that the man at the helm-wheather as the president of a democratic and secular nation or as a self centered dictator of a subjugated nation-should at least have an open mind and a reasonable understanding of contemporary situations for making decisive acts. If such a person is obssessed with a particular idea and acts with prejudiced conviction the people represented by him/her should share the spoils of outcome willingly or otherwise. Mere comparisons do not mitigate hardships and salvage sufferings unless the subject people take active participation in correcting damage in time. There is hardly any comparison between Bush or any democratically elected heads of state at present of other nations and Hitler who are personally separated by a period of many generations facing their contemporary world situations. But it is possible to hoodwink common people by justified and convincing arguments and clever political manipulations exploiting negative experiences to personal advatage. An Indian proverb says" A man beset himself with a strong desire has neither fear nor a sense of shame" If a strong desire is licensed with a justified conviction and supportive power nothing can stop such a person who has fumbled with his own fate and ,if happens to be the leader of a nation, drag along the destiny of its people to a common course of destruction as happened to Germany and her people under Hitler in the aftermath of world war-2.

Yeah, that's great logic.
Actually if these presidents were president today, they would also be called Hitler: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt, and Truman (and there are probably more).
Of course it is not because they are logical equivalents of Adolf Hitler, it is because LIBERALS ARE INSANE.
