Simon Wiesenthal Center: "preposterous" to link Obama logo, Nazi symbol; "demean[s] ... everything that America stands for"

From an August 7 press release issued by the Simon Wiesenthal Center:
Injecting Nazi Comparisons is Bad for the Health of America's Democracy
The Simon Wiesenthal Center criticized those who have injected Adolf Hitler into the discussion of President Obama's health care plan.
"It is prepostrous to try and make a connection between the President's health care logo and the Nazi Party symbol, the Reichsadler" said Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
Americans have every right to be critical of the President's health care plan but we demean ourselves and everything that America stands for when we compare either Democrats or Republicans to the Nazi Third Reich.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center is one of the largest international Jewish human rights organizations with over 400,000 member families in the United States. It is an NGO at international agencies including the United Nations, UNESCO, the OSCE, the OAS, the Council of Europe and the Latin American Parliament.
Now that a biracial democratic man is the prez, its safe, and fun to do so.
He's in line with the emotions of coorporate america.
Its what that little voice in his ear is telling him to do.
