Lauer then interviewed McGinniss, who said he had hoped to live next to the former VP candidate “peacefully, if not with great friendship.” But then came Facebook and her “revolting” comments, revealing the “power Palin has to incite hatred,” said McGinniss. “I’m not calling her a Nazi, but that’s the same kind of tactic that the Nazi troopers used in Germany in the ’30s, and I don’t think there’s any place for it in America,” he said.

And…there’s your takeaway quote, folks. It probably won’t matter much that McGinniss says he isn’t here to do anything “creepy” and he would have been “living in this house if the Palins lived on the Moon.” (McGinniss says the location is totally random – he had to live somewhere in Wasilla to write his book, and this house just happened to be a good deal.)
