I think the list is actually true in both cases, and different only, perhaps, in context and degree. (Amos) What is true in both cases is irrelevant when looked at in isolation.
Look at what the list omits:
(1) Bush has not yet put a sizable percentage of opposition congressmen and Senators into prison (we're talking about 1933). (2) Bush has not yet ordered an out of time election in which the opposition parties are not allowed to run. (3) Bush has not yet ordered governors of states to be replaced by his own men. (4) Bush has not yet ordered opposing politicians of his own party to be shot. (all that 1933/34)
That list could go on for at least as long as John's list. If you set out to find list of similarities between Nazi Germany and any government anywhere you will easily get a long list which means nothing at all. It is a futile exercise only impressing the (but I said that already).
