U.S. Rep. Mary Miller quotes Hitler at D.C. rally.

She's not wrong. Regardless of who the original speaker was, the content of the quote is entirely correct. That being said, quoting Hitler is career suicide and an idiotic move.

clearly someone thought there was going to be a much bigger boom than there was tonight, and let her mask slip in the excitement...

She wasn't right.

Yes. She was.

She was saying the republicans should propagandize children, like Hitler did.

No. She wasn't, and didn't.

If you disagree, by all means... quote her exact words where she used the term 'propaganda' or 'propagandize'.

She was simply stating a fact. Whoever wins the hearts and minds of the children, controls the future.

Those hearts and minds can be won by lies and propaganda, or by legitimate education of facts and truth.

I agree that children should be taught the truth, and critical thinking skills, but that's not what she was saying.

Again - she was. How you can read her words any other way is beyond me.

If the U.S. focused on real non-partisan and factual education, both political parties would crumble in a generation.

Well, we agree on that at least.

But it is kind of ironic, because you are doing the same thing she did, only using slightly different words.
