Let's stop trivializing Nazis

The Nazis headed by Adolf Hitler were among the most vile human beings of the last hundred years. They were amss murderers committed to genocide. Only murderers like Mao Zedong,Josef Stalin, Pol Pot and the Ottoman Turkish authorities who slaughtered the Armenians are similar in the annals of shame. Each of these disgusting people killed over a million people as well. The things that were done by the Nazis were so far outside the norms of decent human behavior that they are difficult for a civilized person to comprehend.

Unfortunately, calling someone a Nazi has become an ever increasing trend on the left in the United States. Bush was subjected to all the Bush-Hitler nonsense because he led the invasion of Iraq and the freeing of all those Iraqis who were suffering under Saddam Hussein. Nancy Pelosi claimed that the Tea Parties used Nazi symbols at their rallies (a phony charge, but one that the Main stream media repeated again and again.) Now Jerry Brown compares his Republican opponent Meg Whitman to Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels, and when called on it says that it was only "jogging talk". Does decency and common sense get suspended while jogging? I guess I do not exercise enough to get to that point. I bet you have to first run ten miles and fall on your head at least five times. Brown owes Whitman a sincere apology -- that's right sincere!

I think that American politicians better stop trivializing the Nazis. It is possible to disagree without accusing adversaries of genocidal tendencies.
