As many of your readers may have seen in Downtown Mystic May 17, a Political Action Committee (PAC) against Obama and his presidency was campaigning in front of the Mystic Post Office. Some of their propaganda included a picture of President Obama with a mustache that looked eerily like Hitler's mustache. This is absolutely disgusting.
For a PAC to compare the leader of the free world to a heinous dictator who murdered 11 million people (6 million Jews, 5 million other people) is disrespectful at best and flat-out ignorant. To compare a president who is pro-social welfare to the leader of one of the worst genocides in the 1900s is disgusting and degrading to all the murder victims who died in the Holocaust and the survivors of the Holocaust, not to mention the loved ones who lost someone during the killing.
President Obama has been one of the most efficient presidents in office in 20 years, despite the bickering and political partisanship along party lines.
Hitler was, by far, one of the most evil people in the 20th century and to compare President Obama to Hitler is insulting and degrading.
