While the comparison of Hitler's rise to power and Bush's speeches may be accurate, but by backing the comparison, you tend to lose credibility. To me it's the equivalent of comparing Pope John Paul II to Osama Bin Laden. They're both religious leaders, thus it's a comparison is technically true, but you're making the comparison of a peacefulish religious leader to a leader who supports killing thousands of innocent men, women, and children. You're using a poor comparison to imply something that's not necessarily true. Such as Bush is a mass murderer, etc. or Pope John Paul is a terrorist. You can compare small things, but you make a very poor argument by making inflammatory comparisons without an overall strong basis in fact.
