I think the Nazi comment was in complete bad taste. And she should apologize for it. People throw Nazi and Hitler comparisons around all the time, and almost one hundred percent of the time they are out of line. Especially when they add the word "worse" to the mix.
But what does concern me more is her religious motivates. I am a very stanch believer that church and state be separate. While I agree that we should clean up the environment I don't agree that we should be doing it because of what what some book may or may not say.

Perhaps that's part of the problem. It's understandable that everyone gets up in arms about the Nazi comparison, but maybe what we find more disgusting is her religious views and the double standard that apparently exists for her in comparision with... oh, just about any Conservative MP.
And lots of books say we should clean up the environment... we shouldn't do it because of them either?
Or it's just that particular book that bothers you?
