Wingnuts like Beck like to compare others to Hitler, but the reality is that Hitler came to power via demagoguery more than anything else. Beck and most of the GOPhers in office are no better in that regard. They feed irrational fear and derive power from it to the detriment of us all.

seeing what he has witnessed over the past decade in DC, knowing the lies and the corruption and still try to make it better.

If people want to hear the truth spoken plainly, Kucinich never disappoints them. Those who hate him are part of the problem and want to cover up the lies. It is because he tells the truth that they hate. What does that say about how bad things are, especially since some of that hatred now comes from the 'left'.
