My rabbi made a statement about how the comparisons of Obama to Hitler are in danger of diluting the
horror of the Holocaust. She was right and I think our Jewish elected politicians should be speaking up, especially that asshat Cantor since they skinheads are in his party.

1. Thank your Rabbi for me, HHC~
There's an OP in GD that says her Rabbi "called out Joe Wilson @ Rosh Hashana services this morning".

3. Lots. Orthodox Jews are non-egalitarian but the other sects are totally equal.

4. Absolutely.
This is what I was thinking... when you start to compare everything and everyone to Hitler and the holocaust... what's more horrible then?

5. Not only are they wrong in accusing Obama of being the leader of a bunch of psychopaths
(and then the GOP make fun of the word empathy) but they do diminish its effect. There are psychopaths out there who are both bullying and manipulative like Hitler or Stalin.

Years ago calling someone Hitler was in the top 5 internet insults. So it has been allready overused. But using it in a national campaign (and those signs are part of a national campaign) makes it even worse.

6. Cantor strikes me as a skinhead at heart.
He is a nasty little shit, but with hair.
