I'm a Hitler, you're a Hitler, everyone's a Hitler

Lots of stupid "x equals Hitler" comparisons - from the left and the right - are compiled here. (My favorite involves board members of the Hawaii ACLU, who compared Clarence Thomas to Hitler and - oh, sweet irony - banned him from debating affirmative action at one of its civil-liberties conferences. Runner-up: Robert Mugabe compared himself to Hitler.)

The lesson here? "In the future, everyone will be Hitler for 15 minutes."

Update: everyone seems to love the "15 minutes" comment, so I feel compelled to emphasize that it came from the 'Beautiful Atrocities' blog linked above, not me. I wish I could write a line like that.
