Hitler needs to be retired as an element of comparison and I can’t believe a commercial production company with any intelligence would use it, yet again. It’s lazy, stupid and the user instantly loses any argument.

Why does Hitler need to be retired if not used in a knee jerk fashion? I am not rooting for the ads, here. I am just saying that for the first time in my remembrance, there are EXACT parallels to Hitler's takeover and destruction of Germany and Mussolini's takeover of Italy. The community orgn, grandiloquent speeches, the involvement even of schoolchildren, media adoration and collusion, all fits.

This is not a propaganda motif, but a real, dire warning of the threat to our country. The Germans and Italians could only see good ahead, too. I am 74 and have many European friends who see the same. They lived thru great hope,media propaganda,intimidation, shortages, round up of dissenters, deaths of family and friends, war and terror.

Eventually, these women married GI's and came to the states. They have loved it here for over 50 years, are citizens and take part. They are now very afraid because they see the beginnings of what happened in their old countries here.Not one of them was taken in by "O" speeches.
