=== The Hitler Comparisons (02:17) ===

[00:00:00]  Front page, Meg, David Horowitz's website.
[00:00:04]  If the British had not fought in 1940, Hitler would have been in London.
[00:00:09]  And if Democrats do not fight in 1968, Nixon will be in the White House.
[00:00:14]  Vice President Hubert Humphrey warned.
[00:00:17]  Get it?
[00:00:20]  If the Democrats are to Nixon, what the Allies were to Hitler.
[00:00:27]  That's Heward Humphrey, known as a gentleman.
[00:00:30]  And I mean it.
[00:00:32]  Chicago Mayor Daley accused Nixon of Hitler-type tactics.
[00:00:38]  Governor Pat Brown of California said, Barry Goldwater's acceptance speech had the stench of fascism.
[00:00:46]  All we need to hear was Heil Hitler.
[00:00:49]  I didn't know all these early Hitler references, I have to say.
[00:00:53]  Mayor Jack Shelley of San Francisco claimed that Goldwater strategists got all their ideas from Mein Kampf, Hitler's autobiography.
[00:01:04]  Union leaders launched a national campaign to denounce Goldwater as Hitler II, or Hitler II. I have drawn a parallel between Goldwater and Hitler, and I make no apology for drawing that parallel, George Meany of the AFL-CIO declared.
[00:01:23]  The famous novelist Kurt Vonnegut said, the only difference between Bush and Hitler is that Hitler was elected.
[00:01:35]  Well, actually, the bigger difference is that Bush was elected.
[00:01:41]  Congressman Charles Rangel compared the Iraq War to the Holocaust.
[00:01:46]  This is just as bad as the six million Jews being killed.
[00:01:51]  And he claimed that the contract with America was worse than Hitler.
[00:01:58]  Senator Dick Durbin compared Gitmo to Nazi concentration camps.

=== Stalin's Labeling Game (00:55) ===

[00:02:04]  So, it isn't, as I say, it isn't new.
[00:02:12]  It started actually...
[00:02:14]  The author didn't note this.
[00:02:16]  I have noted this regularly.
[00:02:17]  It started with Stalin when Stalin called Trotsky a fascist.
[00:02:23]  Trotsky founded the Communist Party of the Soviet Union along with Hitler.
[00:02:28]  Well, that's a perfectly understandable mistake along with Lenin.
[00:02:35]  And then Trotsky came to oppose Stalin so he was called a fascist and of course he was killed by orders of Stalin.
[00:02:43]  Killed in Mexico City, as it happens.
[00:02:46]  An ice pick.
[00:02:49]  If you oppose the left, you are by definition a fascist.
[00:02:57]  And people buy it.
