The stormtroopers of the American Right do, though, seem to be taking it to Goebbelsesque extremes at the moment -- and perhaps even beyond. Limbaugh is currently pushing the mantra that Obama, "like Hitler", is a dictator. This seems an astonishingly hard argument to make, since Obama was recently elected by a clear majority in a seemingly open and fair election, and has issued no diktat that I have been able to identify. Yet still Limbaugh, the Lord Haw-Haw of our age, lumbers on.
