First it was Darwin, now it's Obama:
STEIN: I want -- I'm glad you brought up this Denver thing. I don't like the idea of Senator Obama giving his acceptance speech in front of 75,000 wildly cheering people. That is not the way we do things in political parties in the United States of America. We have a contained number of people in an arena. Seventy-five-thousand people at an outdoor sports palace, well, that's something the Fuehrer would have done. And I think whoever is advising Senator Obama to do this is bringing up all kinds of very unfortunate images from the past.I'd think the more likely comparison would be to JFK's nomination acceptance at the Los Angeles Coliseum:
Barack Obama will give his acceptance speech at Invesco Field during the Democratic National Convention. In 1960, John F. Kennedy also delivered his acceptance speech at an outdoor venue — the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.But apparently Ben Stein has Hitler on the brain. Or maybe JFK is next on his list of secret Nazis?
