I've pretty much lost track of all the times that the times that the Repuloicans have called the Democrats "Nazis." Democrats have not taken this very seriously so far, at least I have not seen jack boots or leiderhosen in Haight-Ashbury.
But it's really bizzare when the Conservatives claim to be persecuted just like the Jews in the Holocaust. Tom Delay, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Michael Smerconish, Judge Roy Moore, and Michael Horowitz all make the list.
Tom Delay - The BugMan likes to compare the GOP to 6 Million Jews, when he isn't comparing himself to Jesus Christ. Tom really covers all his bases. Next week he'll be Vishnu or something.
It’s the same process. It’s the same criminalization of politics. it’s the same oppression of people. It’s the same destroy people in order to gain power. It may be six million Jews. it may be indicting somebody on laws that don’t exist. But, it’s the same philosophy and it’s the same world view.

Michael Weiner Savage says liberals are trying to apply their own Final Solution to conservative radio host because Ann Coulter is just like Anne frank. Coulter uses her fake driver's license and voter ID to travel when she's not hiding in an attic in Belgium.
is the exact rhetoric that Hitler used in his march to take over Germany.... the liberals like Maurice Hinchey want the final solution for conservatives on talk radio.

Glenn Beck compares global warming skeptics to Holocaust Jews, because the Jews of Poland were just like well-paid oil company shills.
Al Gore's enemy, the U.N.'s enemy: global warming....Then you get the scientists -- eugenics. You get the scientists -- global warming. Then you have to discredit the scientists who say, 'That's not right.' And you must silence all dissenting voices. That's what Hitler did.

Michael Smerconish wrote the essay "First they came for Imus." Yep, Don Imus and Rush Limbaugh are just like 6 million Jews. It's so obvious!

Judge Roy Moore compares his struggle to erect 10 Commandments monuments to the Nuremburg trials. Or something.

Michael Horowitz compares persecution of America's Christians to the Holocaust. He grants evangelicals the right to claim the same martyrdom as Holocaust victims. Apparently being Jewish gives him the authority to declare anyone he wants to be an official Honorary Holocaust Victims. Just like getting your buddy a guest pass to the YMCA.
The mounting persecution of Christians eerily parallels the persecution of Jews, my people, during much of Europe's history.

And then there's Grover Norquist comparing estate taxes to the Holocaust. Because it really Paris Hilton who's just like Anne Franke, not Ann Coulter.
http://www.commondreams.org/...
Grover: I mean, that's the morality of the Holocaust...... If you've paid taxes on your income once, the government should leave you alone. Shouldn't come back and try and tax you again.
Host Terry Gross: Excuse me. Excuse me one second. Did you just ...
Grover: Yeah?
Terry Gross: ... compare the estate tax with the Holocaust?
Grover: No, the morality that says it's OK to do something to do a group because they're a small percentage of the population is the morality that says that the Holocaust is OK because they didn't target everybody, just a small percentage.
And then there are the inevitable Abortion=Holocaust folks.
This guy wants an Abortion Holocaust museum built at the WTC to emphasize that abortion is worse than 911.
