Rush Limbaugh compared President Obama to Hitler on Monday.
He was discussing allegations that VA health centers in Phoenix covered up long delays in treatment, during which time 40 veterans died. Obama is "madder than hell" about the allegations, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough told CBS News' "Face the Nation."
Limbaugh said that Obama's response was exactly what Hitler, Stalin, Lenin and Fidel Castro would say. "This is classic, this is exactly how stuff like this gets spun... in dictatorships, and in totalitarian states since time immemorial," the host claimed.
"For example," Limbaugh said, "if Lenin only knew all these people dying in Ukraine... if Stalin only knew.. if Hitler only knew oh, gee, if he only knew! If Castro, if he finds out, oh, no!

And in other news, Rush Limbaugh is as relevant in this day and age as a "Flapper" is to modern fashion.
Limbaugh is like the Kardashians.
The only reason anyone pays attention to him is because of the next fucking stupid thing he might say or do.

(15,031 posts)How about some outrageous comments comparing politicians we don't like to tyrants and despots of the distant past, so we can at least enlarge the public's ignorance to include false comparisons to lesser known and even more misconceived analogies.
How about Tigleth Pilesar III? Or perhaps Yang Guang? Two especially fertile tyrants from which we could all draw some wickedly stupid comparisons to all sorts of people.
I grow tired of Hitler. I'm bored with Stalin. Castro was never more than a regional distraction. Let us seek out new fields of ignorance, and boldly go where our stupidity beckons.

This is the same piece of RW trash who challenged the Dad of an Aurora mass shooting victim to a fight.
