OK, so I think we can all agree that "Hitler" is a no no.
But what about Francisco Paulino Hermenegildo Teódulo Franco Bahamonde?

Only with Tapas and red wine.
His son was a pip though..brought Spain into the modern age.

At least it's creative.
A few of the nuttier nuts are branching out though. I've seen a couple of Stalins and Maos thrown out there. But no Francos yet. Is he hard to caricature or what?
I guess Mussolini is right out.
But I'd love to see a Mugabe or a Pol Pot chucked around just for the sake of variety. I'd even possibly award style points.
The whole comparison-to-a-famous-murderous-dictator meme is so patently ridiculous, why not just take it full retard and get it over with?

and the dreaded FEMA death camps
Both sides have called the other's president Hitler. It's deplorable and detestable.
But two wrongs dont make a right. Dont defend Obama-haters for doing something the other side did. Be the bigger man. Say it's wrong and get on with it.
That being said, liberals, you can't act like you haven't done the same thing.
i can't speak for anyone else. but i can honestly say, with clear conscience, that I have never, ever, ever, used the term nazi or hitler to describe anything BUT nazis or hitler. i think it's disgusting when people do it. it diminishes the horror of what the nazis did.
so SOME "liberals" may have, but it wasn't mainstream democrats... unlike the right, which seems to have lost its mind and it's mainstream has so pandered to the wingnuts that it has incorporated that type of lunacy.
I'm out of rep but this is possibly the best post I've seen on this board in weeks! Well said.
We have always had this offensive comparison... and it is one of the very few things that I am totally horrified by.... and you are right.... it is getting worse.... and I also agree that a LOT of it seems to be coming from the right. Having said that, I think it is the drooling fools on both sides that seem to think it's ok to call people a Nazi etc. It is absolutely NOT ok.

It's sort of a lazy form of debate to compare a leader to anyone really (I am guilty of doing this by the way)..but the hyperbole sort of kills everything.
It's like dropping a nuke when you compare anyone to mao, hitler, or stalin.

rdean, can you link to any of your previous posts criticizing Democrats for fighting Adoph Bush?
Yeah. Didn't think so.
This is not about Bush, or rdean. You've only managed to make it clear you have no defense of these clowns.
You think that finding some Democratic clown somewhere who compared Bush to Hitler somehow makes what these guys did okay?
You think that if OJ had found someone else who murdered someone the same day he killed those two people that that would have proven OJ innocent?
In OTHER WORDS. IT DOESN'T COUNT WHEN LIBERALS CALL BUSH HITLER! It ONLY COUNTS when Republicans do it back!!!!!!!
Typical liberalism!!!!!!!
Yeah, we shouldn't discuss if any liberal on this board called Bush Hitler. That's not the subject. Liberals have their underwear in a wad about the op and we should stick to the subject!
YEAH! That works!!! Noooooooooooo Hypocrisy there!

Are you still on food stamps, Horseface?
One day Obama is like Hitler the next days he'd like Stalin.
These right wing chickenhawks need to get their Obama epithets coordinated.
One thing I found funny about this comparison is the right hates Ike
Dwight D. Eisenhower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
read up cons and you will hate him nowe if you didnt already
Eisenhower also warned about the emerging military-industrial complex in his Chance for Peace Speech:
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."
while wiki sources are not always accurate, especially in political examples, they DO have links at the bottom you can always follow for better sourcesDwight D. Eisenhower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
read up cons and you will hate him nowe if you didnt already
Oh Wikipedia!!!
The great, unassailable reference source for the left!
Would today privitization obsessed GOP support the development of the US Interstate highway system?
I rather doubt it,
How about NASA?
Would today's Tea Party folks support such government spending?
I rather doubt it.
how about Ike's creation: Department of Health, Education and Welfare?
Is that something today's GOP supports?
How about the Social Security Amendments of 1954?
Theseinclude increased benefits of old-age and survivors insurance. It expanded coverage to include farmers, and professional people and others, adding nearly 7.5 million additional persons to the Social Security rolls.
Is that the direction that the GOP is taking this nation now?
Or how about INCREASING THE MINIMUM WAGE? Still another accomplishment of the IKE administration that I suspect the GOP would not approve of.
Or how about his so called "Plan 66" which strengthed and funded America's anntional Park system.
Is that something we think today's libertarian Randian GOP would sign onto?
I think in every above example, we find that TODAY'S GOP is nothing like our FATHER'S GOP.

That's not exactly true.
Keith Ellison alluded to Nazi Germany as well when talking about the Bush administration.
It's bad form. Shouldn't be done.
