The GOP's Flippancy Re Hitler and Holocaust

While we're still hearing outrage from Ed Gillespie and the RNC about the MoveOn.org entries that compared Bush to Hitler, Richard Cohen in today's Washington Post column digs up what I've been looking for related to Super GOPer Grover Norquist comparing the poor mega-wealthy to Holocaust victims because of the estate tax that Mr. Bush conveniently removed (and see yesterday's link to a New York Post piece comparing Howard Dean to Hitler).

I know I lie awake at night wondering if it's tougher to be a member of the Walton/WalMart family worried about protecting their claim to being some of the world's wealthiest humans or to be confined to a Nazi death camp. Wait. No, I don't.
