Erick Erickson, editor-in-chief of conservative web site RedState.com, today compared Linda Douglass, the spokeswoman for the White House Health Reform Office, to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.

"Linda Douglass really is the Joseph Goebbels of the White House Health Care shop," Erickson tweeted this afternoon. He echoed the sentiment on RedState's homepage, wondering if Douglass "likes" being the Goebbels of the Health Reform Office.

A bit of history: in addition to taking control of every facet of German media, Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda, burned books and organized Kristallnacht, an operation which destroyed Jewish businesses and synagogues, killed Jews and sent thousands to concentration camps.

Erickson has been on a bit of a bender when it comes to hyperbolic freakouts about the Obama administration.

He tried to compare Obama to Hitler after Chicago's failed Olympic bid, suggesting that Obama is actually worse than Hitler.

"Does it say more about the IOC or Obama that the IOC gave Hitler the Olympics, but not Obama?" Erickson wrote.

As TPMDC's own Eric Kleefeld points out, Berlin was selected for the 1936 Olympics five years earlier, in 1931, before Hitler came to power.

And at the announcement of President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, Erickson wrote, "I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota for it, but that is the only thing I can think of for this news."

The remark garnered some outrage in the Twittersphere, but Erickson was nonplussed.

"Delighted at the level of shallow leftist rage for me calling Obama's Nobel Prize an affirmative action pick. You cannot parody the left," he tweeted later.
