Why do liberal celebs embarrass themselves by comparing......

Yes it is, not to mention downright stupid. Idiots everywhere.
Kind of like "cons" who quote Bible scripture on the campaign trail.
He said celebs. I'm not sure there are any conservative celebrities.I dunno. Why do cons do it?
I didn't say conservative celebrities...I just said cons. I assume they have reasons for doing it. Maybe if the op understood his own, he wouldn't ask such dumb questions.
I wonder how common the last name Hitler is now? Is there an Anglican surname that could make heads turn like that at a restaurant? "Hitler, party of 4! Your table is ready!" You just know people are looking to see who moves toward the maître d.
As you know Hitler's father changed the surname from Schicklgruber because he wanted to create a legacy. Thankfully the new Hitler family lineage didn't have time to branch. But prior to WWII and the Holocaust Adolf was a fairly common name in Germany. So someone would have to be so horrible that no one would name their kid Mike or Eric etc.

It's not just the Iibs that do it but everyone. I see it as just a shorthand way to get across your disgust with the person being compared but agree it does lose its effectiveness when used so often.
I do not care what celebrities think about anything, other than their craft. (Assuming most are entertainers of some sort like musicians or actors.)

Lawrence O'Donnell isn't seeing the "joy" in Donald Trump's campaign.

Donald Trump's rallies represent "21st century American fascism," MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell said Saturday night.
"Trump has, whether we like it or not, he has joy," MSNBC's Chris Matthews said during a panel discussion, while comparing him to rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). "The people at his events are having a good time."
O'Donnell disagreed.
"I haven't seen any joy at any Trump events," he said. "I'm watching a militaristic operation that physically kicks people out, beats people. He's now converted Secret Service agents to be his thugs. There's video of a Secret Service agent beating a Time photographer. This is a crime that's on video in a Trump event. These are the ugliest, most violent political events I've ever witnessed."
The photographer, Christopher Morris, was slammed to the ground at a Virginia rally after being told not to cover a protest. At a more recent Trump rally, the candidate asked followers to raise their right hands and swear to support him.
"What causes the crowd to cheer it on?" Matthews asked.
"Trumpism," O'Donnell said, referencing Trump's long, counterfactual crusade to prove that President Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States. "People on TV laugh about it because he's a sick, pathological liar who's allowed to get away with it. And the media thinks that, 'Oh, he said something half funny, badly delivered, at one of these events, and so let's call this fun.' It's not fun. This is ugly fascism in America. This is 21st century American fascism."

86, in short, immaturity. It’s partly because they have no idea just how bad Hitler was, but mostly it’s because they don’t understand that there are degrees of opposition. They, for the most part, lead fairly easy lives. They’ve not faced the real world adversity that tempers the rest of us into understanding that not everything we disagree with is akin to the greatest tragedies in recorded history.
