The Press-Telegram has the article Hillary Clinton compares Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine to Adolf Hitler’s in Nazi Germany. What actually happened does not seem to be nearly as lurid as the headline might indicate. The article does use the word compare in its proper way. She looks at how what is happening is similar to some actions of Hitler’s, but she also remarks on how it is different. Even with the article’s attempt to temper the reports, you really have to hear Hillary’s tone of voice to see how reasonable her remarks may have been. Here is an excerpt of what she said.

“So everybody is hoping that there will be a negotiation but a negotiation that respects Ukraine and doesn’t ratify a reoccupation by Russia of Crimea,” she said. “So it’s a real nail-biter, right now, but nobody wants to up the rhetoric. Everybody wants to cool it in order to find a diplomatic solution and that’s what we should be trying to do.”

This post is an attempt to correct the impression left by my previous post Putin vs Hitler vs Hillary.
