Conservatives are frantic about losing control, and rightly being blamed for our disaster of an economy. Mike Lester is a great example of the screaming right with this cartoon comparing Democrats to Nazis. Every argument on the internet ends up with a Nazi metaphor, even cartoons (I just learned this is “Godwin’s Law”). 
I’ve posted some of the @replies I got about this cartoon from Twitter - add your comments below.
EricJAndersen@dcagle Democrat/Nazi cartoons probably will resonate with dumb people.
k_michael@dcagle The cartoon is stupid nc nobody EVER blamed fiscally-responsible, only shady brokers & slick creators/sellers of weird derivatives
olberblogger@dcagle Comparing Dems to Nazi. How last Admin! Booooring! LOL
hambuild@dcagle Disgusting! May be more appropriate to have Bush/Cheney saying Saddam is responsible for 9/11 in second panel-both false assertions.
drakered@dcagle Oh boy. First there was the toon with Obama compared to a chimp and now this.
jojosmojo@dcagle A comparison by anyone about anything to Nazis is hyperbolic at best, and generally proof of the lack of a sound argument otherwise.
StephenTiano@dcagle I want to say they’re irresponsible. But then I’d feel constrained from likening the fear-mongering, Fascist Republicans to Nazis.
MLGiannini@dcagle I think its reprehensible, but I’m glad theyre doing it because this sort of thing saps the Ramirez-bots of any and all credibility.
VOIDMunashii@dcagle I think the cartoon is not only wholly incorrect, but humourously ironic. I”m not offended though.
Dayjob_dbj@dcagle At least they used donkeys instead of chimpanzees.
wrand@dcagle Nazis? Pretty silly… er, “sad.” If you have to resort to Nazis analogies then you’ve already run out of anything relevant to say.
nlj@dcagle - liberals thought Bush was Hitler, now conservatives think Democrats are Nazis. ah, the irony of commonality!
Aaronscottshow@dcagle Nice potrayal of the Dumbascraps (coined by me)
nickdenny@dcagle I may be a European pinko commie left-wing socialist, but I can laugh at myself. However, that cartoon is just plain unfunny.
davjosmes@dcagle Unless a group really are Nazi, they shouldn’t be compared to Nazi. Neither Dems nor Reps can fairly be compared to Nazi, really.
DhammaSeeker@dcagle Mike Lester is a deluded tool
GabbyGail@dcagle Um, it’s not even funny.
Brons@dcagle It’s predictable balderdash. Can they cite when the D’s ever blamed the fiscally responsible home owner? Pfeh!
slagathor@dcagle At least the conservative illustrator accurately reflects the depth of conservative socio-economic thought. So, in a meta sense, A+.

engpolitician@dcagle i think they make the illogical leap of crowds supporting Obama=crowds supporting Hitler. They’ve forgotten what support looks like
pomoxian@dcagle Cartoon fails on every level. It’s not funny, it’s clumsy and who is the Democrat that he’s trying to mock? Makes no sense to me.
PRIMALDATA@dcagle um I think he might wanna re-word what the donkey is saying unless he thinks banks that need bailouts are fiscally responsible
amyharway@dcagle uhhh, I don’t get it…what? Somebody needs to ’splain it to me!
mpondfield@dcagle there are words I won’t even use here…it crosses the line.
brandonsteili@dcagle I think you should be glad there is free speech. I’m pretty sure there aren’t intentions to murder millions of people in Obamas plan
judithsthoughts@dcagle that is so wrong and offensive. im so upset right now. this may be worse than the chimp cartoon. and that was bad.
emor8t@dcagle Uh, well Nazi’s might be extreme, there is some truth in it.
schultmh@dcagle rush only wishes he could be that ugly and incendiary..
potentiate@dcagle It always amuses me that GOP compares Dems to Nazis. To me it’s “the pot calling the kettle black” #p2
Beonarri@dcagle That doesn’t even make sense. Aside from the fact that comparing anyone to Hitler immediately makes an arguements: null.
Dovescorner@dcagle lol but I still love your Obama cartoons! They have swagger and are as cool as the man!
TeresaKopec@dcagle Stupid & offensive. Can you imagine the GOP RX if a newspaper ran a cartoon comparing Bush to Hitler?
natespy@dcagle would you expect anything else from the fringe right?
PUBLISIDE@dcagle I think comparison between Democrats and Nazis is obscene. Few things in this world are as evil as Nazis. Millions killed. No joke.
dendroica@dcagle Apparently Godwin’s Law applies to political cartoons as well as usenet.
minimoniotaku@dcagle They don’t know their WWII history very well if they say that s***. Previous admin was closer to that time period
mystic23@dcagle as a liberal AND a realist, i think if we can dish it out, we liberals should learn to take it. libs call GOP nazis all the time.
EmperorNorton@dcagle After eight years of Bush with his flagrant attacks on civil rights, they have to hide behind some falsehood.
TLAvideo@dcagle Wow where the hell did that comparison come from? Was he watching too many PETA ads?
joshleitzel@dcagle Nasty.
EmperorNorton@dcagle It’s an old ploy to project their flaws onto their opposition.
dellbillings@dcagle Fail, fail, fail on the Democrats/Nazis connection. There are a very few things that should be compared to Nazis and this isn’t it.
nationalgadfly@dcagle I think that the true colors of tyranny are showing!
