In a fairly recent interview Noam Chomsky has cited concern over similarities between the Nazi's rise to power over Germany in the 1930's and the current right wing neo-conservative movement within the USA today. This movement is spear headed by the likes of Rush Limbaugh as well as televangalist's such as Pat Roberts speaking to a large audience of supporters throughout America.
Their tendancy to blame America's economic problems on immigrants coming in and the governments "passive stance towards them" rather than focusing on the real problem, deregulation of the marketplace in the last few decades, mirrors that of the Nazi's scapegoating of Jews for Germany's problems 80 years ago.
Their gross exagerration of the terrorist threat and their solution to increase American military intervention over seas mirrors that of the Nazi's propaganda of foreign threats to Germany's national security from the likes of Poland, Britain, Russia etc and the need to wage war against those countries.
Sarah Palin is one of the more well known politicians apart of this movement and there is talk of her being the Republican candidate for the elections of 2012.
Scary huh?
