No, I found the Bush/Hitler stuff just as vile, and worse as thoroughly empty of content.

Though they do serve a purpose. The people who did such things then and do such things now helpfully identify themselves as idiots.

This is good. I just find it frustrating when, on whichever side of the aisle you are on, comparisons to Hilter/Stalin/Pol Pot/dictator du jour are fine when pointed a the other side.

I personally think they are ridiculous and serve no real purpose, but also find them more harmful to the side making such accusations than to the side being accused.
