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&#8217;s, but she also remarks on how it is different. Even with the article&#8217;s attempt to temper the reports, you really have to hear Hillary&#8217;s tone of voice to see how reasonable her remarks may have been.
