Are Nazi Comparisons Inevitable, Too?

I almost want John Sampson to win this battle:

Mayor Bloomberg accused the deadlocked Senate of trying to “destroy” the city’s school system — and said weakening mayoral control would be like reviving the Soviet Union.

Bloomberg, whose control over city schools will expire next week if Albany doesn’t act, warned of pending chaos.

“You want to talk about what would happen; just take a look at what happens when no one is in charge,” said Bloomberg, calling for the Senate to pass the bill the Assembly has approved.

“If the Senate passes something that differs by one word or more it is saying to the city: We want to resurrect the Soviet Union, we want to bring back chaos.” Bloomberg fumed.

“What [the senators] are doing is just saying to the parents, the students and the future of our city — ‘We’re going to destroy you.’ That’s the only possible explanation.”
