It sure hasn't taken long for the Christian Right to go after the first Muslim Congressman. First, they went crazy because he intended to take his oath of office on the Koran. Now the Drudge report cites the right-wing Telegraph (UK) as reporting that Ellison has compared President Bush to Adolf Hitler. The amazing this is that Drudge posts the video of Ellison's speech and he NEVER SAID IT. He never mentions Bush. All Ellison does is say that some people (he doesn't name them) use 9/11 as the pretext for illegal actions the same way Hitler used the Reichstag fire to suppress the opposition. Big deal. But the faux-outrage is starting. No one is ever allowed to compare anything anyone ever does to anything Hitler did. It's bizarre and, I must say, terribly flattering to the late Adolf who thought he was a God and should be treated with the deference accorded to God. Ellison, understanding that "Never Again" has no meaning unless we apply lessons we learned from the Nazi era, will now be attacked for violating the 11th Commandment of Bizarro World: "Thou Shall Not Take the Name of Hitler in Vain." I doubt Ellison is surprised by this treatment. He's a Muslim and, when it comes to Muslims, anything goes.

How much longer until the right wing propaganda machine completely destroys its last vestige of credibility? Secondly, I don't see why the wingnuts should care if Ellison insults Hitler by comparing him to Bush. It's not like Hitler is a popular historic figure.
