Obama's press secretary Robert Gibbs decries critics comparing the current Administration's policies with those of Hitler. He thinks that is just wrong. He seems to have a short memory because we just went through several years of people calling Bush Hitler, or calling Bush's supporters brownshirts, or calling for the assassination of Bush. (I don't recall Bush even making any comment about this.) What is curious to me about all of this is that Bush didn't advocate anything like fascist policies, something Obama's Administration does routinely. Here is an interesting discussion of this.
