U.S. Representative Randy Weber, a Republican from Texas, has drawn hefty criticism and some praise after he compared President Barack Obama's decision not to attend a rally in Paris to Adolf Hitler's visit to the city after the Nazis invaded.
Weber, known for his anti-Obama rhetoric, took to Twitter on Monday: "Even Adolph Hitler thought it more important than Obama to get to Paris. (For all the wrong reasons.) Obama couldn't do it for right reasons."
Weber's office did not respond to a request for comment.
Critics came out in force on Tuesday and said comparing a presidential visit to the Nazis' deadly advance through Europe in World War Two was in poor taste. They slammed Weber for his lack of historical perspective and for misspelling the name of the former German leader.
"@TXRandy14 You are a terminal fool," Tom D'Antoni, editor in chief of Oregon Music News, wrote in a tweet.
A smaller number of supporters said Weber was on the mark with his comments and criticized Obama for not attending.

Hitler comparisons are usually over the top.
Did not like it when the Left did it to GWB.
Obama is more like Stalin.
I can’t imagine why. Obama is the closest thing we’ve ever had to Hitler; Race obsessed Socialistic anti-semitic thug who wants to disarm the population.
yes because NO ONE would ever have done that to former President Bushitler
It was not necessary for him to play the Hitler Card in this instance. This only gave the progressives a short break from the shame they felt due to Obama’s snub of France.
You beat me to it. 0bama, and all of the leftists like him, adore Uncle Joe.
Obama’s support for and consistent defense of the Muslim Brotherhood is also a common trait.
It's not really much of comparison anyway. But it was a stupid statement. Makes no sense to bring up the two in one sentence … one was a war monger, the other an aloof muzzie supporter shirking his responsibilities.
Yeah, besides, at least Hitler wrote his own book.
LOL... Now that’s funny.

Hmmm
beat me to it.
If Weber apologizes for this comment he loses everything, might as well quit.
Did you read my Post #1? He apologized already on Twitter.
Hitler and Obama represent completely different strains of socialism, although it’s hard to tell what the real-world differences may be. The overlap between national socialism, soviet socialism, Maoism, and Obama’s equally destructive version of socialism is quite large, but we are better off letting Obama’s level of evil stand on its own.
“Hitler comparisons are usually over the top.”
He should have compared Buckwheat to the racist Rev Wright whose so-called “church” he attended for 20 years.Buckwheat is the most racist president6 since DEMOCRAT Woodrow “KKK” Wilson. It’s time to start cramming this fact up every left-wing a$$hole in America.
