Silicon Valley VC says 1% are like the Jews in Nazi Germany

From the Godwin's Law department: Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tom Perkins equates protests against tech gentrification in San Francisco, and the more general growing pushback against decades of exploitation by the 1%, with the Nazis. Because the 1%ers are just like the Jews in Germany in 1938.

Titled "Progressive Kristallnacht Coming?," the brief letter in the Wall Street Journal accomplishes nothing more than a series of horrible attempts at analogy:

I would call attention to the parallels of Nazi Germany to its war on its "one percent," namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the "rich."

That the WSJ would print this letter is further proof (if any was needed) that it has gone from a biased but sane news outlet, into another venue for Murdoch's brand of extreme yellow journalism, a Fox News with a bigger vocabulary.
