You mention Hitler.

But the demonstrators that compared Bush to Hitler, now Obama to Hitler, etc. - what a bunch of losers.

Segue - Glenn Beck compares Obama to Hitler all the time, accused Obama's interest in restoring volunteerism (Peace Corp, anyone?) to "indoctrination youth camps", a threat to our security, etc.

But I see that Glenn Beck is going to start holding "education camps" for his followers. And that is exactly what he is calling them.

Can he really, really not see the hypocrite in the mirror?
More times than I can count, people and/or groups in a position of power use the same techniques of those that they lambaste to achieve their ends. It's as if they are projecting their crap onto other people.

I understand too what you say about Hitler and that makes sense, however, some day when you have a lot of time and want to learn something really interesting, research the history of IG Farben and what influences they've had upon our modern world, especially after they were disbanded/dismantled.
