On “Meet the Press” this morning, host David Gregory played a brief clip of Limbaugh's monologue -- a sentence in which Limbaugh said, “There are far more similarities between Nancy Pelosi and Adolf Hitler than between these people showing up at town halls to protest a Hitler-like policy” -- and then asked guest David Brooks to comment. “I hadn't seen the Rush Limbaugh thing,” Brooks said. “That is insane. What he's saying is insane.”
I asked Limbaugh for a reaction, and here is his answer:Everyone seems to ignore that Pelosi started this, saying town hall participants were showing up with swastikas, etc. That's calling them Nazis, as Dick Durbin referred to our Gitmo interrogators from the Senate floor. I've been listening to the left compare George W. Bush to Hitler for eight years. I've been listening to Democrats and the left compare conservatism to Nazis my whole career. This time I responded. In kind, by comparing the radical left policies of the Nazis to today's radical left leadership of the Democrat Party. I'm not surprised they don't like it.

Jonah Goldberg goes in search of swastikas
Why is Byron York silent about Limbaugh and Beck calling Obama a Nazi?
