Reply #27: Maybe they were refering to a different hitler

Like Adolf Lu Hitler Marak, the indian politician.

Or Chenjerai "Hitler" Hunzvi, the zimbabwean revolutionary.

Those were the first two I thought of when bush was called hitler.

But with accusations against obama I immediately thought adolf hitler, the bad one, and it made me consider acts of violence. Those subsided, but the initial response was almost overwhelming, and uncontrollable.
