Reckless rhetoric diminishes the horrors of the past

almost 6 years in Denver Post

The House Majority Project, a fundraising arm of the Colorado Democratic Party, compared holding facilities for illegal immigrants to concentration camps in a tweet earlier this week. Nazi comparisons are spreading like a summer rash. Recently, former CIA director Michael Hayden likened immigration enforcement policies to Nazi concentration camps, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) compared the policies to Nazi cattle cars and gas chambers, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) invoked Auschwitz, and MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch equated Trump voters with Nazis henchmen. No doubt Moveon.org regrets blowing its Hitler comparison on George W. Bush. It really is too soon to make another.
