Hitler would be a piker compare to Genghis Khan.

More and more people are tossing around the word "Nazi" or "Hitler" to indict a person or belief they disagree with. I honestly don't care which side does it, it's petty, stupid and inaccurate. If you look hard enough at any issue you can find a criticism that will vilify any perspective.
During live television coverage of the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago, novelist Gore Vidal famously called William F. Buckley a " crypto-Nazi." To which Buckley famously replied (in addition to other choice words), "Stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I'll sock you in the goddamn face and you'll stay plastered."
Nazism is not a useful symbol for everything that makes us angry, from Iraq to abortion to workers' rights. It is a historical movement, unique in the ambitions of its cruelty.
So, for those of you who continuously call someone "The Hitler of our time" I'll simplify this so you'll understand. Your argument inherently is doomed to fail for sheer thoughtlessness. You don't understand true evil and you are blinded by idealism and partisan thought.
That being said, I think Charlie Sheen compares unfavorably to Hitler. Fuck that guy.
Come on man...is this a serious discussion and/or debate? Adolph Hitler is the modern "gold standard" for evil and a basic lack of humanity. So clearly, nobody immediately before him...and certainly nobody since him ranks as high on the evil scale. I mean really, he did "kinda" set the bar pretty high! His immediate family changed their family name. His immediate male relatives had themselves sterilized in the event that they carried an "evil" gene! Come on now...who has been that evil that they caused their family to do that?
When people of either side of the political spectrum (for the record, I'm generally on the left) compare contemporaries as being as evil as, or worse than Hitler (so evil that you can just refer to him by his last name, and there is no doubt at all as to who you are referring...I mean when was the last time you heard anyone say: Do you mean Joe or Adolph Hitler? Ha ha ha!), they automatically weaken any potentially legitimate argument that one is trying to make...and to be perfectly honest, they themselves become laughable!
Bottom line...NOBODY is as bad as Hitler...much less worse than him!

Easy, GregCentauro, that's who.
Paul Bernardo, Karla Homolka, Jeffrey Dahmer. Definetly.
What, you didn't include VodkaVictimiz?
I don't think dahmer was really bad, just very very sick.
I've seen many interviews with him and I think he was a good person.......just very very ill.
George Soros, the man who collaborated with the nazis in exterminating his fellow jewish people so that his own life might be spared, sadly it was.
Recently, soros was asked if he is haunted by his past dirty deeds . . . he is not.
I don't know about being a good person but Dahmer was more sick, lonely, and pathetic than truly evil like Richard Ramirez.
