A member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has quit the organization after it accepted an invitation to perform at Donald Trump's inauguration this coming January, comparing the president-elect to Hitler. In a public Facebook post, Janet Chamberlin thanked the choir for a meaningful five years and discussed many positives that came from being a part of the group. But after they decided to perform, Chamberlin couldn't continue. She wrote:

I simply cannot continue with the recent turn of events. I could never look myself in the mirror again with self respect...I love you all, and I know the goodness of your hearts...I also know, looking from the outside in, it will appear that Choir is endorsing tyranny and fascism by singing for this man...And Choir’s wonderful image and networking will be severely damaged and that many good people throughout this land and throughout the world already do and will continue to feel betrayed...I only know I could never “throw roses to Hitler.” And I certainly could never sing for him.

Bravo.

So 1 of 110 members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is boycotting. Mally is on a big bandwagon.

I fully support the right of this one person to do his thing. Liberals wouldn't be so generous had the situation been reversed.

Comparing President-Elect Donald Trump to Führer Adolf Hitler trivializes the tragedy of the Holocaust.

Doing so also reveals much more about malibber 2 than Mr. Trump.
As Mike Godwin once wrote about Godwin's Law: ". . . most people who brought Nazis into a debate weren’t being thoughtful and independent. Instead, they were acting just as predictably, and unconsciously, as a log rolling down a hill."

Just so, . . . as predictable as a log rolling down a hill.

Don't be silly. There's a massive parade of quality entertainers making themselves available for the Inauguration. I hear Scott Baio will be reenacting the first Inauguration via interpretive dance.

Where is the evidence of the "tyranny and fascism" other than he is not Hillary?

Yeah, Yeah. There were crackpots who said Bush was Hitler. Some claimed Obama was Hitler. I wonder if our Politicians are getting closer to Hitler or if we just have more crackpots. I'll go with More Crackpots.
