Cliff May reportedly states: "It is wrong, outrageous and damaging for Rush Limbaugh to compare Obama to Hitler"

August 07, 2009 11:12 am ET by Media Matters staff

From Glenn Greenwald's August 6 blog post at Salon.com:

UPDATE: I've sent emails to many of the people and groups referenced here -- which I've posted here -- and will post any responses if and when I receive them.

UPDATE II: National Review's Cliff May: "It is wrong, outrageous and damaging for Rush Limbaugh to compare Obama to Hitler. ... Such hyperbole only serves to confuse and trivialize issues much more grave than tax rates and health-care plans."

Previously:

Limbaugh: "Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate"

      It also has the effect of making the speaker look like an ignorant jackass...

      ...although in Rush's case that may be a laudible result.

      I gather that to the conservative mind there is no graver issue than tax rates.

        You leftists have a difficult time when tactics normally reserved for you agenda are employed by the other guys. Quit whining. It makes people see how weak you really are.
