I have a post on my blog about this neverending quest to identify Nazis with Satan.
Although I agree with your assessment of both Obama and Chuirchill, I think it's drawing a fairly long bow to compare them with Hitler*
I don't mean to be unkind, but why would I want to read your blog after that analogy?
Quote:I hate the demonizing of Nazism. People always hate it for the retarded reasons.
What retarded reasons might they be?. Do you perhaps mean the abolition of democracy in Germany, political murders or The Nuremberg Race Laws of 1935 which stripped Jews of their citizenship. Or perhaps mass murders,such as at Babi Yar,the establishment of 15 THOUSAND concentration camps ,or the Holocaust,which entailed the murder of people on an industrial scale-as a result we added a new word to our vocabulary; genocide.
I guess if you over look those pettyfogging misdemeanors, you're quite right. People are just being mean demonising the Nazis.

Quote:Godwin's law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies or Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies)[1][2] is a humorous observation made by Mike Godwin in 1989 which has become an Internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."[3][2] In other words, Godwin put forth the sarcastic observation that, given enough time, all discussions—regardless of topic or scope—inevitably end up being about Hitler and the Nazis

Quote:Babi Yar (Ukrainian: Бабин Яр, Russian: Бабий Яр) is a ravine in the Ukrainian capital Kiev and a site of a series of massacres carried out by the Nazis during their campaign against the Soviet Union. The most notorious and the best documented of these massacres took place on September 29–30, 1941, wherein 33,771 Jews were killed in a single operation. The decision to kill all the Jews in Kiev was made by the military governor, Major-General Friedrich-Georg Eberhardt, the Police Commander for Army Group South, SS-Obergruppenführer Friedrich Jeckeln, and the Einsatzgruppe C Commander Otto Rasch. It was carried out by combined forces of SS, SD and SiPo.
