Hitler Comparisons

Working a Hitler/Nazi comparison to support your argument seems to be the fashion. Senator Byrd jumps on the bandwagon by making a comparison to Senate Republicans (via Hugh Hewitt). I thought it would be interesting to do a quick little study with Google. Who gets the most hits with Hitler?

Number of hits for name “Hitler” alone – 9,200,000

Number of hits for name “Hitler” combined with the following names:

Bush 1,480,000
Stalin 730,000
Jesus 718,000
Clinton 704,000
Saddam 703,000
Kennedy 551,000
Satan 501,000
Kerry 462,000
Reagan 437,000
Goebbels 233,000
Goering 101,000
Reid 87,500
Byrd 71,000
Dan Rather 53,800
Lewinsky 38,500
Daschle 37,600
Scalia 30,700
Glenn Reynolds 27,900
Pelosi 24,000

Of interest, I noticed that Bush-Satan hits beat Bush-Hitler by 730,000. A lot of intellectual discourse going on out there.
