Victor Davis Hanson asks:

[W]hat do Linda Ronstadt, Harold Pinter, Scott Ritter, Ted Rall, and George Soros all have in common? The same thing that unites Fidel Castro, the European street, the Iranians, and North Koreans: an evocation of some aspects of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany to deprecate President Bush in connection with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

President Bush’s political opponents have been comparing him to Adolf Hitler for years. (I’ve made an online cottage industry out of documenting it myself.) Hanson psychoanalyzes the “Bush is Hitler” left, and concludes that—while the extreme rhetoric is evidence of their waning political influence—the environment it creates risks “unleashing even greater extremism by the unhinged.”
