Responding yesterday to criticism of a widely-circulated photo taken of her at the anti-stimulus rally held by Colorado Republicans at the state Capitol this week, syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin was not exactly what you'd call apologetic.
For eight years, we've heard "Bushitler" invoked endlessly...

Now, the tables have been turned. Some folks are invoking Nazi allusions against Barack Obama.

...The left-wing blogosphere is suddenly up  in arms over the sight of others mimicking their over-the-top rhetoric of the past eight years. A protester who attended the Denver Pig Roast today had such a sign and asked for a picture with me. The nutroots are having vapors about it.
