The ads seem to make valid comparisons to me:
"Mexico's top electoral body ordered broadcasters to stop running a controversial TV ad that compares a firebrand leftist leading a siege of Congress to dictators Hitler and Pinochet. The TV ad, funded by a Mexican businessman angry at a blockade of Congress by opposition lawmakers trying to derail an oil reform plan, says the antics of protest leader Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador are endangering democracy.
"The complaints committee decided unanimously to order the withdrawal of the spot from today," a spokesman for the Federal Electoral Institute said.
Leftists seized Congress podiums on April 10 to block a government proposal to lower barriers to private investment in the oil sector, controlled by the state since 1938. The action has left Congress paralysed.
"Who shuts congresses? In 1933, Adolf Hitler in Germany. In 1939, Benito Mussolini in Italy. In 1973, Augusto Pinochet of Chile," the ad says, over grainy footage of the Nazi leader, his fascist ally in Italy and Chile's late military dictator.

Including Pinochet with the other two is dubious, however. You will never hear it mentioned in the Left-dominated media but Pinochet acted to depose a law-defying Marxist President at the express invitation of the duly elected Chilean parliament. He also retired peacefully from power when he had put Chile back on its feet.

Obrador is a well-known Marxist activist and agitator. Why don't they simply assassinate him? End of problem! Or, perhaps not, since south America is becoming more and more Marxist, especially most of the pro-illegal groups from Mexico! I wonder if anyone in the US is paying attention. No, i didn't think so!
"never hear it mentioned in the Left-dominated media"
Something else you will probably never hear: The truth.
