In my opinion, Hitler was evil. And while some on this board may have the opinion that Bush is . . . well, I just don't see the comparison in terms of "evilness".
This person can give their opinion, no matter how disrepectful, because he lives here, and not in a police state. I respect his right to give his opinion, I just don't agree with it.

Besides, Hitler was known as one of the great orators in recent history. He was a captivating and motivating speaker who could raise a stoic room into a frenzy with the tone of his voice. He also attempted a military coup d'état, instigated the conquest and annexation of neighboring countries on the principles racial and national superiority, and, escalated, to the point of liquidation, the subjugation of an entire race of people. He had complete control over government decision-making without any checks and balances.
Uh…Bush won a close election and was handed a failing economy punctuated by one of the deadliest attacks on American soil in its history and he isn’t the best public speaker. But, at this time, the economy is realizing a complete turn-around. The US has taken a proactive stance to combat the sources of terrorism throughout the world, which was provoked by 9/11 (whether you agree or disagree with it). And, most recently, the immigration reform proposal, which is something that Hitler would NEVER have been for. (and I can’t say I agree with it)
I’m sorry, what are the comparisons again??
