It's the Godwin Law in action

Godwin's Law: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1"

[NB - and the Hitler reference need not even be an accurate representation - you just have to get Hitler in there somehow to disparage your adversary.]

Venture capitalist Tom Perkins would have you believe America's 1 percent are yesterday's Jews but nothing could be further from the truth…
.
Venture capitalist Thomas Perkins, not to be confused with the equally befuddled, dishonest, and hyperbolic religio-wingnut figure, compared, in a letter to the editor of The Wall Street Journal, America's 1 percent to the Jews of Nazi Germany:
.

    Writing from the epicenter of progressive thought, San Francisco, I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on its 'one percent,' namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the 'rich.'

'
In a time when the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, when the unemployed are denied unemployment benefits and the sick are denied medical care and everyone is denied a job, Perkins wrote of "a rising tide of hatred of the successful one percent," He claimed, "In the Nazi area it was racial demonization, now it is class demonization."
.
Perkins concluded that, "This is a very dangerous drift in our American thinking. Kristallnacht was unthinkable in 1930; is its descendent 'progressive' radicalism unthinkable now?"
.
From this, you would expect the 1 percent to be thrown into concentration camps almost immediately. But nothing could be further from the truth, and the parallels with Nazi thinking are nonexistent. Perkins, not to put too fine a point on it, lied through his teeth.
.
Actually, Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist Party were eager to climb into bed with the German 1 percent, other than rich Jews, of course, whose money could simply be confiscated later. In fact, it has been argued that without support from rich German industrialists, Hitler would never have risen to power in 1933. And not only did Hitler have financial supporters in Germany but in the United States.
