Hitler comparison was out of line

Posted January 17, 2009 10:00 pm

I am responding to a Jan. 12 letter to the editor from Jack McCabe of Batavia and his comparison that Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin are similar to the Democratic party led by Nancy Pelosi because they eliminated the opposition party. The opposing party (Republican) was pretty much eliminated by the people of the United States of America.

I didn't recall you writing about the Republican party having complete control of the White House, Congress and Senate for the first six years of the last eight. Or, Republican leader Bill Frist not allowing any items submitted by Democrats to come up for a vote. You didn't complain about The U.S. Supreme Court deciding a state election, which is against the laws of our land. You didn't complain about the most secretive White House in history, no visitors logs available, secret meetings with oil companies and Dick Cheney, illegal wire tapping, leaking of agents I.D. (Scooter Libby), torturing, Abu Ghraib. This sounds more like Hitler or Stalin.

Mr. McCabe, I think you are just upset because you (Republicans) are not in control anymore. Get used to it!
