If the shoe fits Obama should wear it. Although he's more of a carbon copy of Karl Marx or Che Guevara than Hitler. A pathetic, America hating socialist bent on destroying everything our forefathers built and our military died for. He really belongs in hell, after he's executed for crimes against humanity.

With the conservatives` "Patriot" Act and the liberals` NDAA (among other atrocities committed by both groups), it`s perfectly acceptable in my opinion to compare them to the Nazis, Communists, Islamic extremists, and other groups who are anti-freedom.

Yes it is and we have never had a president as much like Hitler than Obama is. Besides trying to strip us of our guns and all his lies he has told and now all the scandles are surfacing, the only things he hasn't done yet is kill innocent people. Oh wait a minute,Yes I think he has did that to.

Guess what, healthcare in Germany during Hitler's reign was almost identical to Obamacare. Needless to say it failed miserably. Not to mention that Obama "is" a racist and has "illegally" staged covert invasions of eight different countries.

I compare Obama to Hitler all the time.. He might not be using the EXACT same strategies Hitler did, but both of their strategies are satan led and Godless and the end result will STILL be the same: the ultimate enslavement of the people..

Sure, when used in good taste! Some of my personal alternative favorites include Kim-Jong-Il/Un, Pol Pot, Vlad the Impaler, Phillip II, Louis XIV, Stalin, and Nikita Krushchev.

It's not an insult, it's just a comparison. And since he's one of the most well known it just seems natural to use something well known when expressing a view to someone.

Hitler was an amateur compared to the rest of the world governments. Democide is a good term to look up and compare, but don't stop there. How many natives were killed to conquer this land instead of using terms like genocide?

v Yes, if it's warranted

When it quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, it is reasonable to call it a duck. Our current President kills American citizens essentially by his deciding they deserve to be killed. No Court, no review, no appeal. He also has the power to secretly imprison anyone he chooses to label a terrorist or terrorist sympathizer. Again, no court, no review, no appeal. The only question that remains how many will he kill or imprison while he is still in office. One other thing, NAZI means National Socialist. That label seems to fit out President like a bespoke suit.

Sure, why not. Freedom of speech is also freedom to insult or make comparisons. I have been compared to Nazis in the past. It was hurtful but I wrote an article making fun of the source. Two can play at this.

Yes, hitler had a strategy. He didnt start off murdering people. He used propaganda , nationalism, an unarmed populace, replacing importance of god & religion with increased importance of himself & government. It took years to actually get to the mass murder.

Yes, comparing Obama to Hitler is a perfect example of his gun grabbing attempt today in this country. Every good dictator knows you have to un-arm the citizens first to control them, and the liberal Dems wanting to do away with terms limits for the president is just another step towards a dictatorship in this country. And a least Hitler wasn't trying to destroy his country like Obama is doing to ours. Yes Hitler did end destroying Germany but that's not how it started out. Obama has been trying to destroy this country from the beginning.

When someone in our modern era says Obama is like Hitler because he wants to reinstate the Assault Weapons ban that was supported by many conservatives including Ronald Reagan then it shows that they actually don't know history at all. If someone kills millions of people because of their race, sexual orientation or religion then you can call Hitler, otherwise you are just looking stupid.

Unless the person is committing mass genocide, I don't see the reason they should be compared to Hitler. Just because someone has opposing viewpoints and is in a position of power, it doesn't make them Hitler. It's offensive and shows how little people care about the events that occurred during the holocaust because they are just throwing around the name of the arguably worst person to ever live. It doesn't strengthen your arguement, it only deprives the historical meaning of a time of suffering and pain.
