The inevitable Hitler comparison

Add as preferred on Google(opens in a new tab)

You know, when I wrote the other day that questioning someone’s patriotism was roughly equivalent to comparing them to Hitler, I should have known that this week would not pass without a reference to Adolf’s Germany.

If reports are accurate—I didn’t see the interview in question, standing as I was in the cold outside Rideau—congratulations are thus due to Liberal Derek Lee who decided yesterday to raise the Nazis’ burning of the Reichstag in 1933.

Bravo sir.
