Dissent Equals Naziism

John Kerry's rather silly notion that any criticism of him is equivalent to questioning his patriotism has been surpassed by (tah dah!) environmentalist wackos.

"Rajendra Pachauri, as head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, is expected to exaggerate and say silly things without any evidence. It's his job, really. Yet he goes too far in comparing Bjorn Lomborg to Hitler (link in Danish). A native Danish speaker advances the following translation of the key part:

Where is the difference between Lomborgs view of the human race and Hitler's? You can't treat humans as if they were cattle. If you were to accept Lomborgs way of thinking then maybe what Hitler did was the right thing.
Nature magazine published a review of Bjorn's book accusing him of "the equivalent of holocaust denial." Now Pachauri is accusing him of the equivalent of holocaust promotion. That is completely beyond the pale. Pachauri, an UN official, should resign."
