I find your comparisons of Clinton's "supporters" to Hitler's totally bizarre. Is this a case of projection & transference?

What "Clinto zealots" are you talking about? The only zealots that are in evidence are of the anti-Clinton variety. Check out their websites!

The people who tend to support Clinton in the current controversy are, if anything, rather lukewarm, generally arguing only that 1) Starr's team had no business snooping into the President's sex life, 2) it is not worth disrupting this nation's political life over so trivial a matter.

But the anti-Clinton camp swarms with people who seem to believe that the President is the Devil Incarnate. For example, there is that notorious List of Dead People (former Clinton associates whom he is implied to have had murdered), which has been posted on every single SI thread dealing with Clinton.

I personally did not vote for Clinton. But I simply cannot understand the depth of the virulent hatred the anti-Clinton fanatics profess. If you insist on looking for parallels with the Nazis, it seems to me that you are looking in the wrong place, and that the anti-Clintonites would be more likely to stock up a Dachau with "undesirables" than the generally laid-back Clintonites would.
