It's been awhile since any high profile politicians or pundits have compared their opponents to Nazis.
So Rush Limbaugh has filled that void today, saying that President Obama's campaign symbol looks like a swastika.
He's got video and graphics up on his web site right now to make his case.
And whenever someone in politics compares the other side to Nazis, the other side is sure to express outrage.
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokeswoman Jennifer Crider:
Rush Limbaughs comparison of the Democratic Party to the Nazi Party in World War II is as disgusting as it is shocking," Crider said. "Limbaughs use of the Nazi swastika in attempting to make a tasteless political comparison has no place in the public discourse."

Teachers, including college professors had to be union members and the union leaders were all party members. Government workers had to be union members and members of the party.
All dissent was treated as treasonous and unpatriotic. Union and party activists roamed the country disrupting any political dissent and were not shy about getting violent to achieve their ends.
The Nazis used the Jews, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, Gypsies, and gays as scapegoats and blamed the nation’s problems on them. Much like our national socialists blame all the nation’s ills on conservatives, libertarians, practicing Christians, and constitutionalists.
They gained control of the media by favoring outlets that promoted their radical agenda, and eventually eliminated all independent voices in the nation’s radio, print and film media.
History repeats itself. Watch the Democrats create something like the Reichstag fire within the next 12 to 18 months.
Face it, you enjoy stirring the pot.
Thanks for the ping!
The comparison is now popping up because of Obama's words and actions of the past week. Sending out his henchmen to stop the town hall meetings won't help. Asking Americans to rat out there neighbors is about as unAmerican as one can get. Trying to use health care to place "limitations" on the care the old, handicapped and other unworthies receive is a little too close to what the NAZIs did. And the NAZIs didn't start with the Jews. Replace Republican and Christian with Jewish to know who Obama's future scapegoats will be.
Ignore all that is going on if you want, but we won't back down. Silent No More.
Your advanced public school history education shines like a lighthouse on a stormy foggy night.
Nazis not Liberals? Certainly not. Neither is the left in truth, their consolidation of so many different interests is simply the accumulation of useful idiots they can use to undermine the nation. They are hurled against the politcal wall like so much fecal matter, to see what will stick and be used to damage the country.
And I suspect once they have consolidated their power, these groups will find that they are of no more use to those who have siezed that power, in a most upsetting manner.
The right doesn't see people in balkanzied terms of race, we see Americans and work to promote the interests of all Americans. As a group, since we do not make a point to distinguish ourselves as being made up of multiple races/cultures, it's easy for the left to portray us as "old white men", when the right is more representative of an advanced state of race relations - an integrated society.
Wonder what the DCCC thought about Bushitler?
If you want to call Obama an Leninist, I have no problem with that. He is starting to use his Union thugs to break up the Townhall meetings. He is using tactics that Lenin and Hitler used, but he is by no means a Nazi.
I guess words have no meanings these days. I am finished pontificating on this subject.
The trick is getting millions of people to see it, a talent that somehow escapes you, but Rush can do it without even hardly trying.
Must suck to be you
Yeah.
And it must suck to have some radio guy make your discoveries for you.
Nope, just nice to have someone with a huge audience that says what I’d like to say and be heard, that’s all
Hitler stole the image from FDR anyway!
I’ll grant that for sure.
We luckily have a few but not enough. Now more than ever we're in a fight for our Country and we need all the help we can get.
It looks like FDR’s eagle is giving the Nazi Salute!
FDR adopted many of his economic theories from Italy’s Fascist government.
