Kerry-Hitler 2004?
William Saletan and Jacob Weisberg in Slate detail an ad commissioned by the Bush campaign that portrays senior figures in the Democratic party as somehow associated with the most senior figure in the NSDAP. Cutting to the chase:
"The Bush video's opening white-on-black graphic says, "The Faces of John Kerry's Democratic Party. The Coalition of the Wild-eyed." Next comes a parade of angry speakers: Al Gore, Hitler, Howard Dean, Michael Moore, Dick Gephardt, Hitler, Gore, and Kerry."
Christ these guys are assholes. The choice for intelligent people this November is either to vote for Kerry or sit it out. Reading that report almost makes me regret defending the Bushies against Michael Moore's demented attacks (well not really).
On the other hand, I'm comforted by the fact that, as Weisberg points out, this sort of garbage can only hurt Bush.

Why did Kerry assume the last name Kerry when his real last name is Kohn? Why is he a slime, Bush a horse's butt, and Clinton a liar? When will this country get some leadership?
The portion of the ad with hitler was actually taken from a moveon.org clip that compared Bush to Hitler, not kerry to hitler. The Bush ad was designed, however poorly, to show that liberals were bashing Bush by comparing him to Hitler in their ad. Most people, like yourself, didn't pick up on that.
