Fox News contributor and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson on Monday compared American society to Nazi Germany.

"I mean, [our society is] very much like Nazi Germany," Carson told Breitbart News, after declaring that we were living in a "Gestapo age." "And I know you're not supposed to say 'Nazi Germany,' but I don't care about political correctness. You know, you had a government using its tools to intimidate the population. We now live in a society where people are afraid to say what they actually believe."...

The Democratic National Committee on Wednesday issued a statement saying that they fact-checked Carson's claim and found that, "America is actually NOT like Nazi Germany."

"However, Carson (a retired neurosurgeon & Fox News contributor) IS being tested by the Republican National Committee as a top-tier presidential candidate in 2016," DNC Press Secretary Michael Czin wrote in an email statement. "Welcome to the future of the Republican Party."

There are some things you simply do not compare ANYTHING to. One is slavery. Another is Nazi Germany. That should be obvious to anyone who isn't a .

1. Ha-ha... "Top-tier presidential candidate"

No, what's happening is that Carson throws out red-meat to the conservatives as well as provides something to point to so republicans can claim, "See? We're not racist!" but there's no way the GOP doesn't nominate an old, white guy in 2016.
