Bush is surely a very bad President and a dangerous man. As a President, the equal of James Buchanan. As a statesman, well below the caliber of the last German Kaiser.

That said, Little Hawk is very right. Hitler was so remarkably cruel and vulgar as to set a record among leaders of large civilized nations. The opposite of Jesus Christ. A myth and symbol of evil. A serious threat to everyone, and a mass murderer of peoples. On the other hand, most men are "like" Hitler, at least to the extent hair tends to grow on their upper lips.

Comparing people to Hitler is simply flaming them; it's just an epithet. I suggest a moratorium on the phrase "like Hitler."
