And, cue outrageously outraged freak-out over Drudge’s headline and photo. First, some did bring up the usually correct case against Godwinning.

Note to the Drudge Report: the first person in an argument to compare their opponent to Hitler loses. Automatically. http://t.co/wHNj2wWN — Marcus Walker (@WalkerMarcus) January 9, 2013

Thanks Drudge, the left now has "evidence" that "conservatives think Obama is Hitler." #facepalm — Amy Lutz (@amylutz4) January 9, 2013

But, this Twitter user had something to say about that.

Or Stalin. Also, screw the left. RT @amylutz4 Thanks Drudge, the left now has "evidence" that "conservatives think Obama is Hitler." — RB (@RBPundit) January 9, 2013

Heh. Journalists, even often fair ones, immediately clutched their pearls and breathlessly tweeted. Ah, life in the Beltway Bubble!

@daveweigel that prediction about drudge is about 2 yrs late @michaelroston — Oliver Willis (@owillis) January 9, 2013

To understand why Obama is just like Hitler, you have to understand Kenyan anti-colonial thinking. — daveweigel (@daveweigel) January 9, 2013

Sigh. But, happy warriors brought up a fair point. Hey, what about BusHitler!!!1111eleventy?

I like how @mmfa breathlessly "reports" on Obama/Hitler comparisons, as if Bush/Hitler comparisons never existed… — Jean R. Ewing (@GenNerd) January 9, 2013

Proof http://t.co/ZcQflxLs MT @RBPundit Wait. People who called Bush "Hitler" for like eight years are angry at Drudge? THAT'S hilarious. — lauren (@LilMissRightie) January 9, 2013

Some of the same people mocking the Drudge photo called Bush an evil dictator b/c a few terrorists had water poured down their noses. — Matt Cover (@MattCover) January 9, 2013

The tea party are Nazis. George Bush was Hitler. How dare you speak ill of dear leader. — Gregoré (@greg_zemaitis) January 9, 2013

Bush was constantly compared to Hitler. Yeah it's dumb, but why should special-snowflake Obama be immune from the insult? #Ninnies — jon gabriel (@exjon) January 9, 2013

Drudge isn't comparing Obama to Hitler and Stalin in a bad way. — Frank J. Fleming (@IMAO_) January 9, 2013

And, win.

Drudge should've explained he wasn't comparing gun-grabbing Obama to 1940s Hitler, but to 1930s Hitler. — Razor (@hale_razor) January 9, 2013

Remember that one next time, Drudge!
