A 50-Year History of the Worst Comparison

  1. Protesters in London decried Trump and his supporters as “Nazi scum.” In April, Democratic presidential hopeful alleged that the president’s rhetoric “echoed Nazis.” On June 18th, CNN’s Don Lemon once again deployed this technique and compared President Trump to the Nazi leader.
  2. William Clay of Missouri charged that Reagan was “trying to replace the Bill of Rights with fascist precepts lifted verbatim from Mein Kampf.” The Los Angeles Times cartoonist Paul Conrad drew a panel depicting Reagan plotting a fascist putsch in a darkened Munich beer hall.
  3. ‘You Americans do not rear children, you incite them; you give them food and shelter and applause.” -- Randall Jarrell, “Pictures from an Institution” Washington -- Oberlin College has an admirable liberal past and a contemptible progressive present that will devalue its degrees far into the future.
