Mr. Perkins may have been incorrect to equate the Holocaust to the demonization of the rich. If he had made his comments about the demonization of the Jewish population in Germany between 1930 and Kristalnacht he would have been closer to the truth.
Demonization such as took place in Germany is designed to make the subject appear less than human, worthy of contempt and having no value as a human being. The demonization of the rich in this country has not reached that level in this country yet, but give the Progressives time. They have already influenced the "Occupy wall Street " types into thinking that was. Given enough time and money, it could repeat could happen here.

  If you read the article, you will see that Perkins apparently did focus on the shift between 1930 and Kristalnacht. The Holocaust is the ultimate extension of that, of course. It was his capstone argument and the one for the headline.
