Not only did I never call Bush a Nazi, but people like me made sure to call out the very few people on the left who did. What we did do, however, and I'm not going to apologize for that, was draw apt comparisons between what was happening from 2000-2008 in the United States and Germany in the 1930s. Were the scales the same? Of course not, and I never claimed they were. Still, the parallels were there and you can't just dismiss them because they make you uncomfortable. The thing is, though, I can actually back up my assertions. I can back up every actual complaint and accusation I ever lobbed in the direction of Bush. I have evidence. There's no evidence whatsoever President Obama was born in Kenya or he's a Nazi or a communist. I'm not just calling these things illegitimate because I disagree with them, I'm calling them illegitimate because they are in fact illegitimate. They're not opinion, they're ridiculous lies and falsehoods.
