Yesterday I wrote about Moonbat Joy Behar's comment comparing Rumsfeld to Hitler. Today, FoxNews has published a brief compilation of other such hateful rhetoric. It is worth reading and remembering what these idiots are saying.

Some of these comparisons, Like Dick Durbin's comparison of the running of Guantanamo Bay Prison to that of the Nazi's and Soviet Gulags. I seem to recall that this one is part of the congressional record.Some were new to me, and one is an absolute shock, not because of what was said, but the person who said it.

Former Sen. John Glenn (D-Ohio) compared the Republicans' misleading statements to those of Nazi Germany. "You've just got to separate out fact from fiction.... Too often, too often, in this country, if you hear something repeated, it's the old Hitler business - if you hear something repeated, repeated, repeated, repeated, you start to believe it," he said. - Washington Post, Sept. 4, 2004.

I have always held John Glenn in high esteem, and as a hero, for his role in space exploration, beginning with his being one of the Mercury Astronauts and the first American to orbit the Earth. To find that he has made such a contemptuous statement is a real stunner, and is causing me to rethink what kind of a person he really is, and whether I have been proven wrong to look to him as a personal (not just national) hero.

Have so many of these people, some of whom I had previously thought better of, truly forgotten what an evil and repressive regime Hitler ran, and think that America has sunk to such depths?

I am deeply saddened by what these people think of America and Americans. It is one thing to disagree on policy and issues. It is another matter to resort to such demagoguery and wrong-minded tactics for political gain.
