Gibbsy: Can You Imagine If People Were Carrying Posters With Hitler On Them 5 Years Ago?

Well Bob-O, I don't some much imagine it as I do remember it.

"I will continue to say what I've said before. You hear in this debate, you hear analogies, you hear references to, you see pictures about and depictions of individuals that are truly stunning, and you hear it all the time. People -- imagine five years ago somebody comparing health care reform to 9/11. Imagine just a few years ago had somebody walked around with images of Hitler.

Hopefully we can get back to a discussion about the issues that are important in this country that we can do so without being personally disagreeable and set up comparisons to things that were so insidious in our history that anybody in any profession or walk of life would be well advised to compare nothing to those atrocities."

Follow the link to the Weekly Standard for some reminders of just how often the left invoked Hitler.

Given that there's a little more than 3 years left in this administration I think it's safe to paraphrase Chief Brody and say, "We're going to need a bigger memory hole".
