Republican Rep. Brenda Barton of Payson compared President Barack Obama to Adolph Hitler on her Facebook page Monday in a post urging county sheriffs to revoke authority from the National Parks Service “thugs” who are enforcing the federal shutdown on national parks lands.

“Someone is paying the National Park Service thugs overtime for their efforts to carry out the order of De Fuhrer… where are our Constitutional Sheriffs who can revoke the Park Service Rangers authority to arrest??? Do we have any Sheriffs with a pair?” she wrote.

Fuhrer is a German term for leader that is most often associated with Hitler. …

Waiting for her act of contrition.

Der Fuhrer is not to be mocked.

It’s not accurate. Unless Obama’s instituted a new program I wasn’t aware about, of sending millions of people to death camps.

Comparisons to Hitler are guaranteed to get you dismissed as a crackpot.

He is like Hitler in the early stages.

Given enough time he might very well do death camps (he's already forcing abortion pills on insurance companies and has already instituted Death Panels in HHS).

Ever heard of the Affordable Care Act?

Bush got compared to Hitler numerous times and no such criticism ensued. Even the German press made such a comparison.

Yes, Bush got compared to Hitler all the time, because that’s what Lefties do, because they’re childish and immature.

I don’t think we should be doing that. It minimizes and dilutes the true horror that Nazism was. In my mind, someone really has to go over the top to a true level of evil, like an Idi Amin, Bin Laden, or Assad before you should make that comparison.

It really ticks me off when people compare Obama to Hitler.

Me too. Hitler never won an election.

Fuhrer is a German term for leader that is most often associated with Hitler...

Fuhrer is a German term for; "leader", "guide", "guidebook", "driver, "operator", "commander", "head", "pilot", or "father".

When translating German it is necessary to remember that nouns may have multiple meanings and that translations must be based on context to avoid subtle shifts in meaning.

Obama and Hitler are completely different. One is a socialist petty tyrant who hates Jews and Americans and doesn’t care how much damage his policies do to the country he has adopted and then through questionable means gained ultimate power over. The other was a socialist petty tyrant who hated Jews and homosexuals and didn’t care how much damage his policies did to the country he had adopted and then through questionable means gained ultimate power over. They are totally different, especially the contrast between past tense and present tense.

*It’s not accurate. Unless Obama’s instituted a new program I wasn’t aware about, of sending millions of people to death camps.

He seems to be planning for millions to live in misery under Obamacare and many will be asked to take the pill.

His mysterious charisma is like Hitler’s, he has the IRS set up to enforce his nasty business, he’s against Israel and Christians, he has his own symbol, he wanted to have a large paramilitary youth under his control equal to the military, he doesn’t care what the rest of the government or the People say, he will do things his way.

He’s not exactly like Hitler (yet), but it’s difficult to deny that there are a few similarities.

Godwin’s Law isn’t a law at all. What happens when you’re talking about real fascists? Who can you compare them to?

Keep in mind that via the media and government schooling communism, which killed just as ruthlessly and far more people, got a pass.

Why is being called a Nazi worse than being called a communist or a socialist?
