I guess I don't recall Obama -ing over what HWJ said This was ESPN's decision. I haven't read their statement, but I would assume ESPN doesn't sanction hyperbolic hate speech for some economic reason. Personally, I'm so desensitized to the whole Godwin's law (ie. "compare [Obama / Bush / Insert political leader that you don't like here] to Hitler") that I don't care. It's lost it's sting. In fact, I don't think what HWJ said was even that bad. One could argue it wasn't a direct comparison of Obama to Hitler, but more of an illustration of the dichotomy of Dems/Reps being similar to Nazis/Jews. But because of the way he said it, Obama is to Hitler as Boehner is to Netanyahu (sp?) it's considered derogatory. I guess I don't think the hillbilly that is HWJ is smart enough to concern himself with sentence structure to make that implication -- so whatever. You think things would've been different if HWJ would've switched the phrasing to pair Obama with Netanyahu and Boehner with Hitler? Same effect, I suppose
