Hell, it was jaw-droppingly offensive when PETA drew a moral equivalence between Holocaust victims and turkeys at thanksgiving. Although I have no doubt some more black-and-white Animal Rights people thought the comparison was spot on.
I saw a bumper sticker not that long ago that said "if abortion is murder, then oral sex is cannibalism". Yes, that's a bit of an excessively hyperbolic extrapolation, although maybe not really by all that much when you're dealing with a mindset that has declared, by fiat and with zero objective basis, that an egg a second after fertilization is the exact same thing - and should be considered as such, by the law - as a baby.
But yes, the quote is being taken out of context. Still, maybe given who the GOP nominee is, people can be forgiven for thinking there are Republicans running around everywhere with warm fee-fees for Hitler.
