And, cue outrageously outraged freak-out over Drudge’s headline and photo. First, some did bring up the usually correct case against Godwinning.
Note to the Drudge Report: the first person in an argument to compare their opponent to Hitler loses. Automatically. http://t.co/wHNj2wWN

But, this Twitter user had something to say about that.
Or Stalin. Also, screw the left. RT @amylutz4 Thanks Drudge, the left now has "evidence" that "conservatives think Obama is Hitler."

Heh. Journalists, even often fair ones, immediately clutched their pearls and breathlessly tweeted. Ah, life in the Beltway Bubble!
Give this to @Drudge: he's always subtle. (No, not linking.)

To understand why Obama is just like Hitler, you have to understand Kenyan anti-colonial thinking.

The tea party are Nazis. George Bush was Hitler. How dare you speak ill of dear leader.

Bush was constantly compared to Hitler. Yeah it's dumb, but why should special-snowflake Obama be immune from the insult? #Ninnies
