Calling someone who is doing what Rajan does a reincarnation of Hitler is "unfair"? I think you need to expand your vocabulary, man. > Calling Robert Mugabe a reincarnation of Hitler may be "unfair", unless one has no clue about what Hitler did and what Mugabe has done on a much smaller scale.

Selma, Ana Marie, Reena, Jane Gillian, et. al. are excused from the chest-thumping for obvious reasons:-)) Better yet, use your brain to critique his logic, or lack thereof, so that it adds to the public debate. > But to call someone a reincarnation of Hitler shows that you either have no clue what you are talking about or have completely run out of intelligent things to say. > Furthermore, for Manohar Parrikar to call Seby a Naxalite is just as vile an obnoxious, unless Seby has been seen running around bombing, shooting and killing innocent people in order to get his way. >
