"We've got Chavez in Venezuela with a lot of oil money. He's a person who was elected legally, just as Adolf Hitler was elected legally, and then consolidated power..."Is Rumsfeld being provocative? No doubt. Is the statement, strictly speaking, true? Sure.
-Donald Rumsfeld
Compare and contrast with:
"The imperialist, genocidal, fascist attitude of the U.S. president has no limits. I think Hitler would be like a suckling baby next to George W. Bush."It takes real talent to make Rummie look comparatively circumspect. Way to go, Huguito!
-Hugo Chavez
