Any comments that fall within the following categories will most likely be deleted:
[…]1. Abusive, Ad Hominem, Overly Mean-Spirited. Attack arguments and ideas, not people.
[…]2. Hyperbolic Nazi References. Try not to compare people to Hitler and the Nazis unless they’re actually advocating anti-Semitism, racism, or genocide. See Godwin’s Law. These references usually poison debate and are indicative of intellectual laziness.

White House interim communications director Anita Dunn is desperately trying to avoid the fate of her historical doppelganger sister in arms, Leni Riefenstahl.
