[WAR] RABBI SHMULEY: Comparing Trump to Hitler Desecrates Holocaust

Not sure what sort of [WAR] this is - a disinformation war? propaganda war? Democrat under used adjectives and juxtapositions war? Funny either which way when Rabbi Shmuley tells the democrats to cut it :D Now, although Shmuley and Breitbart proclaim such naming of "Trump is Hitler" as "obscenity", what they don't seem to realise is that some folk would consider such "loose" languaging to be a feather in Trump's cap .. of course.
