    That's right, you can only say things like that about the right.

    Correct. ESPN did the right thing though. I know I'd never watch them again if they didn't take action.:dis:

    Hitler comparisons are the most ridiculous analogies ever. Anyone who uses them should have their credibility reduced to zero and have to go to sensibility training.

    But I am glad that song is gone (hopefully forever). Good things can result from ridiculous analogies....

    Watched the footage. I've never seen him speak before. He's a buffoon.

    I'm sure if someone had compared bush to hitler they would have done the same thing.


    Zero chance.

    He didn't compare Obama to Hitler. He was pointing out the absurdity of Obama playing golf with John Boehner due to the complete opposite stances of their politics, saying "That would be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu?" Granted, he did call Obama (and Biden) "the enemy" seconds later, which is hardly respectful of the office of President. But its no surprise ESPN dumped him. They are hard-core liberals and cowards.

    The sensitivity level of this country has gone straight into the crapper.
