Roy M: I think you have it backwards.
Conservatives think of liberal politicians the same way Jews thought of Hitler.
-he was a great orator
-he promised ill-defined “change”
-he insisted Germans needed “hope”
-he openly declared hostility to lawful treaties
-he was for strict gun control
-he portrayed his detractors as malevolent conspirators
-he wrote a narcisistic autobiography at an early age
-he was a socialist and a statist
-he was thin-skinned
-he redefined what it meant to be “German”
-he had violent friends he could not explain
-he was underestimated
In other words, he was a scary, unknown quantity.
Before everyone gets his modem in a bunch, I do not think Obama is a fascist, or will put conservatives in gas chambers, or deems them inferior. By the same token, I would like to think PJ does not intend to “open debate” by suggesting conservatives have that attitude toward liberals — despite the incredibly offensive penchant liberals have for calling Republicans Nazis and depicting their President (whom they like to call “this President”) with swaztikas and jackboots.
