Being a truly advanced white person means being able to speak with authority about pretty much any field of conversation- especially politics. In order for white people to streamline the process of knowing everything, all human beings can be neatly filed into one of two categories: People I Agree With, and People Who are Just Like Adolf Hitler.
Comparing people to Hitler is an easy way for white people to get a strong point across to the less enlightened, or the insufficiently white. Everyone knows who Adolf Hitler was. And everyone knows that Hitler was very, very bad. Therefore, if a white person really, REALLY, doesn't like something or someone, he or she may angrily say something to the effect of, "This is exactly the same kind of thing that Hitler used to do!" accompanied by varying levels of profanity based on blood-alcohol content. No matter what your gut reaction may be at that point, do not disagree with that white person. Otherwise, well, you love Hitler.
This time-tested white-person maneuver may seem so awesomely useful to you that you are tempted to go out and try it right now. Not so fast. White people have spent the last 30 years perfecting this technique. There are cultural guidelines.
It's also critical that you avoid the fatal mistake of getting creative and comparing people you don't like to other evil dictators, such as Joseph Stalin or Fidel Castro. With few exceptions, white people are actually fond of almost any dictator not named Hitler, and your remark that "this is just like something Mao Zedong would do" will be met with blank stares and possible social alienation. This is because, with the exception of Hitler, oppressive dictators share a passion for many of the things white people love- such as universal health care, conspiracy theories, caring about poor people while being filthy rich, and cool hats. Stick to the script and compare things you don't like to Hitler, and Hitler alone.
Now, like most reasonable people, you might find this strategy distasteful, and even a bit disrespectful, since after all, Hitler was responsible for the deaths of tens of millions, and probably doesn't have that much in common with Pat Robertson, in perspective. If you prefer to avoid hearing or using the Hitler technique, we recommend you speak in soothing, affirming tones around angry white people to prevent the phenomenon from manifesting, and change the subject tactfully. To something that doesn't involve George W. Bush.

I called you Hitler first!
“Stuff White People Like” ROFLMAO!
Haha. Stuff White People Like is awesome.
That site is the encyclopedia on what liberals are all about. These guys just nail it on every post.
It’s so true. I mean, what would college activists do without comparing people to Hitler?
I like to throw Pol Pot at them once in a while to really screw them up.
I always find it funny when liberals/leftists call everyone they hate or disagree with Hitler and/or a Nazi when in reality Hitler’s politics were on the left.
These mental midgets don’t know that NAZI is an acronym for National Socialist German Workers Party. That name sounds pretty far-left to me.
Good one. I gotta email this to a few folks.
Bullcrap on that line.
FWIW: Under Hitler, Germany had a national health care system (similar to Hillarycare); Hitler was a walking conspiracy theory; and, NAZIs had cool hats.
But before "Hitler" is thrown out, I've found that the word, "hate," tends to be a particular favorite, (e.g., "party of hate," "lightning rods for hate," etc.).
The trick is to call liberals Hitler first. Then stand back and watch their heads explode in righteous indignation. :-)
Especially as compared to the Soviets. Have you seen their officer hats? Major contenders in the Silly Hat Competition.
That passage is referring to white liberals...at least that’s how I took it.
Calling the other party “Hitler” always means you lost the argument.
Make a POINT man!
One person you can’t use on College Campuses is “You are just like Che!”, you will be thanked and perhaps invited to a nice dinner of Feauxturkey with a dessert of wheat grass smoothies.
Cool helmets too. I liked the ones with the spikes on top.
