When the Nazi references come out, you know the Liberals are in trouble

In today's National Post, I came across this gem;

CBC was desperate to fill air time as they waited for Stephen Harper to finish his chat with Michaelle Jean, so they made the mistake of interviewing Lee, who promptly compared Harper's request to suspend Parliament to the burning of the German Reichstag by the Nazis in 1933. Yeah Derek, they're exactly alike: a party of murderous thugs burning Parliament to the ground is just like the Prime Minister driving to Rideau Hall to request a temporary halt in proceedings while he prepares a budget. How astute of you to spot the similarities.

Okay Derek, a little sense of proportionality here. Perhaps you can explain to me exactly how an arson, (an illegal act performed by the Nazis) used to inflame a crisis precipitated by economic issues in the post Treaty of Versailles Weimar republic (which the Nazis were using as a pretext to try selling their power grabs to the public), is equivalent to the dually elected Prime Minister going to see our country's Head of State to request a short time out to allow for preparation of a budget.

As those of us of German heritage would say "Sie sind ein idiot."
