Why don't you address the items listed in my message?
I did. Not as a point by point refutation. Reread my argument. All those comparisons you listed don't show that Hitler=Obama. That's why I mentioned militarism, massive inflation, war, breaking international treaties, etc.
There were, however, striking similarities which you can't just laugh off.
True. Hitler was an elected dictator by 1936. The US has elected Bush II the dictator (oops, that's Cheney). Germany in 1936 was building a war machine that nearly took down Europe, Britain, and the USSR. The US today has a massive war machine that's stuck in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Now then, if you actually had anything to counter with you would show how I'm wrong instead of re-posting your failed list. You should counter why militarism, massive inflation, disregard for international law, etc do not factor into why Hitler and Obama are the same. Because if you don't, and just claim I'm not dealing with your list, you've shown your hand, and it's empty.
Now then, as to your list.
Hitler was very popular in Germany before and after gaining power
So was Julius Ceasar. So was George Washington. Are they also Hitler?
Hitler was a slick and capable orator who chould appear as all things to all citizens.
So was Cicero. Or Jesus Christ (given the shear number of separate sects, interpretations, etc I'd say you can make Christ a hippie communist or a die-hard facsist). Or Williams Jenning Bryant. Or Churchill. None of them are Hitler, are they?
Hitler's policies were quite socialistic
Debatable, however, if taken at face value. So were Bismarck's when they were introduced in the 1890s (I think that's when they came out). So were the Labor Party's in Britain (and they're all speaking German, right?). So were some of Christ's. So were France's. Are any of those leaders Hitler?
Hitler promised change and the people got change.
Didn't Christ change things? The ace up every politician's sleeve when times are bad is "I will change things for the better!". Does that make practically every politician Hitler?
Hitler was what some refer to as a messiah figure.
Christ was what some refer to as a messiah figure. Oh, but wait, Christ is obviously not Hitler, right?
See how useless and stupid your list is? You can't cherry pick certain qualities and say that two people are thus the same. You have to take in the
whole picture.
