My Comment: One of the worst insults that you can level at a Russian is to call them a Nazi. Comparing Putin to Hitler is going to cause an even greater backlash .... Putin's brother died during the siege of Leningrad in the Second World War. And while I doubt that Putin will respond directly .... I just know that he is seething with anger on this one .... and he will not forgive. As for the regular Russian on the street .... their reaction will also be the same.

Nothing in the last 2 to 3 weeks has surprised me, except this. This is something you can't take back or spin away. For the life of me I can't understand why she'd hurl this accusation. The only thing I can think of is democrats use accusation against their domestic opponents so much that it's lost it's meaning to them. But as you have pointed out the people it's was used against know it's meaning exactly.
