Yesterday I read this brilliant article by Matthew O'Brien...
Why Do the Super-Rich Keep Comparing Obama to Hitler? - Matthew O'Brien - The Atlantic
Basically, saying that the 1% are in conniptions over nothing other than their perceived loss of total power and are making up stories about being persecuted, so much so as to compare it to Hitler-style persecution.
Do you agree?

I find it rather odd.
The more extreme right can't stand a black man being in the white house so they compare their spiritual leader to Obama in an attempt to get him out.
When he finally goes, they'll worship Hitler again, telling the world how he was right about blacks.
Basically, they're fucking idiots.

The article is good but seems to have a set of fuzzy facts and trying to make a clear picture and still draws conclusions held before having the fuzzy facts. So let me take a stab at it. The super rich are not without education. Being as such they look at historical trends much more than the rest of us near-sighted beings. It is not Nazism which is the parallel they fear but the rise of democracy/freedom. As has happened several times in both recent and less recent past totalitarian regimes have fallen. What happens first is someone speaks out a little. Given that no opposition can be allowed that is cracked down upon. The tht instance of crack down leads to more protest. The crackdown/protests gets bloody and a little freedom of speech is allowed. That freedom of speech leads to more vocal condemnations of the regime in power. Eventually the totalitarian system gives way to democracy and freedom for the state's citizens, or something like that. Most all the time, not always, the people at the top can see very clearly what they are doing to their subjects and they live in constant fear of, "If they ever found out what is really going on they are going to skin us alive." I have harped on it time and time again and yet once again, I think the unemployment insurance extension bill is a sign of the times. It makes perfect sense to pass it. There is no hard, honest reason not to. So why was there a vote almost perfectly down party lines which resulted in its death? Because there might be a truth other than what the regime claims there is, that people might actually need help from the government under certain circumstances. It might just open the question of inequality to some open debate because it would no long be a war of words but a debate about action.

Shouldn't you be more focused about Indonesia going to war with Australia to free the Aborigines?

The very model of the Catholic Church, before the Reformation!

I wonder if we should have a "Moronic post of the day" award.
I think you'd do very well.
People actually believe that Barack Obama will refuse to leave after his second term is up? Is that the basis for all these Hitler comparisons? What a sad delusion.My money's on Obama, sooner, rather than later refusing to leave office when its his time.
Any comparison to Hitler cheapens the atrocities that are associated with the Holocaust. People are simply using it as an easy way to generate 'shock'.
