Comparing anyone to Hitler is weak. Just because Hitler was a vegatarian or was for gun control or was supposedly "right-wing" (actually he was godless and a facist), doesn't mean there is another like him anywhere. We need a moritorium on the "is-like-Hitler" argument.
Nazi is another. You've lost the argument if you play the "is-like-a-Nazi card."
Clinton is not Hitler, neither is Hillary or W. I don't like some of the Clinton's policies, but i don't see them putting people on trains and going Holacaust. I don't see W ethnically cleansing anyone. Let's stop comparing people to Hitler.
I don't like the freewheeing use of the term racist either. It isn't racist to oppose affirmative action. It's racist to deny someone a job because of their race.
Tax cuts for the rich is a trigger term. Bound to generate heated discussions.
