"If you only take offense when the president of your party is compared to Hitler, then you're part of the problem"

About this Quote

This quote by John Avlon is a criticism of those who only take offense when the president of their celebration is compared to Hitler, however not when other political leaders are compared to Hitler. Avlon is recommending that this selective outrage is a sign of hypocrisy and an absence of moral consistency. He is indicating that if one is only angered when their own party is slammed, then they are part of the problem. Avlon is suggesting that people must be equally angered when any politician is compared to Hitler, regardless of their political association. This quote is a reminder that we should make every effort to be consistent in our moral standards and not be selective in our outrage.
