Supposedly, it's not okay to compare right-wingers to Nazis any more--that it's understandably insensitive to Holocaust survivors, and it's not accurate anyway.
But honestly, can anyone read these anti-gay comments from Utah State Senator
Chris Buttars and not see the eerie parallels between him and a Jew-hating Nazi?
We're coming after "your kids"? Check. We're "everywhere" and getting into "everything"? Check. We harbor diseases? Check.
Look, I'm all for trying to dial down the rhetoric, and I always try to resist hyberbole. But at some point it becomes an exercise in ridiculousness. Buttars isn't just the "ideological heir" of Nazis; he's using the EXACT SAME LANGUAGE and, short of not yet calling for our executions, he is saying the EXACT SAME THINGS.
