So much for the new tone Obama and the Democrats keep calling for, Prominent Dem compares Paul Ryan to Nazis

What would the media be saying if a prominent Republican publicly linked a Democratic Vice Presidential candidate to the Nazis?  Obviously, Democrats have made these types of claims in the past.  The media instead goes nuts about misleading claims that the Tea Party were calling Democrats Nazis.

California’s Democratic state party chairman has compared GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan to Joseph Goebbels. 

“They lie and they don’t care if people think they lie ... Joseph Goebbels — it’s the big lie, you keep repeating it,” John Burton, the state party chairman, said in an interview with two California reporters on Monday. 

Burton was criticizing Ryan's address to the Republican convention when he made the comparison to Hitler's propagandist. . . .
