I dunno. If anybody reminds me of Hitler, its Dubya! When Hitler was around he had books burned, peoples thoughts and opinions censored, and propaganda thrown around left, right and center.
Patriot act anyone? |
We already had this argument last year
Essentially, Dissention and Goldie people scream W is just like Hitler and cite to his world aggression, the Patriot Act, Gitmo, and other similar things. To them, that and a few other things are enough of a connection to justify saying W is like Hitler. The opposition, who, like me cannot stand W but hate Hitler worse, point out W is not rounding up Jews and gays and then shipping them off to perform experiments on them, make lamp shades out of their foreskin, and then starve and gas or bake them - AND - W has not to my knowledge claimed Iraq or Afganistan as part of the US (at least yet
). Moreover, a significant number of Democrat's voted for the Patriot Act. So, if you gonna call a spade a spade IMO you must include all players
And - I am unsure of anyone being arrested and then killed for saying their opinion. Hitler did that. So far, W has not. I guess it just depends on how you look at it.
In the end, W is a lying jerk and I hope he does not get reelected. I think he forced the war in Iraq by making up evidence regarding the exigent nature of the threat when he realized the threat, which was real according the world's authorities, was not enough. That is an autrocity I cannot live with. He just is in no way anything approaching Hitler, even though saying so makes for good copy
I mean Hitler would have just invaded Iraq and made no pretense afterward. But, that is my opinion and other's differ
