A search within this Subforum didn't reveal a similar thread,
so let me ask directly - even if this Issue surfaced already in
one or the other Thread-Derail:

Probably all of you heard some people comparing the current
White House/Bush/Cheney etc. to the Nazi-Regime/Hitler - and
the similarities about how both Administrations "adjust" democratic
regulations in a way that rather limits freedoms.

Now many arguments I heard so far seem to be pretty far-fetched
or simply straightway wrong. Here are some examples for Issues
that get compared between both Administrations:

Guantanamo - Auschwitz
Patriot Act - Enabling Act
911 Attacks - Reichstag fire
Habeas corpus - Reichstag Fire Decree
Blackwater - SS
Iraq invasion - Poland invasion

Feel free to add - if you remember comparisons I forgot here...

Just recently Colbert had an Author on his show who did write
a book about "The End of America: A Letter of Warning To A Young Patriot.":
The Colbert Report: Naomi Wolf on Fascism in America

There's also a Website that sums up some of these comparisons:
http://www.mninter.net/~hedwards/bush/hitler-bush.htm

So my question is:

From a skeptic point of view: How far-fetched are these comparisons
and which ones are realistic and indeed comparable?

ETA: Even if it may sound like a bad joke for some people, the thread
has a serious question because Germans in the 1930's would have
laughed about such a thread as well.

And we all know what came after the laughter, don't we?

Well, apparently Hitler did some painting in his youth. Can Bush paint? I'm sure he has some sort of talent. I hope they announce it on the news when someone finds out what it is.
