Every once in a while, someone decides that the best way to make a point is to compare someone to Hitler (or to Nazis). This happens with disturbing regularity in politics, but I happened to read an article the other day which did it with Jay Leno and the NBC late-night jockeying drama. This raises the ethical question for me of whether it’s ever a good idea to compare people to Hitler (or Nazis).Links:
