The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Not a hair worth splitting, imo.

Anyone throwing around Hitler, Goering, Goebels, eugenics, naziism, etc. in any form in any supposedly rational political debate puts themself straight into my ignore file. Precisely which ludicrous comparison they choose is a level of detail that is irrelevant to the ludicrousness of their supposed debate rhetoric.

I have no problem observing that it comes from the right substantially more often, at louder volume, and more vehemently than from the left. But I am under no illusion that the left is squeaky clean.
