People: Bush is NOT Hitler. [View All]

Okay, I know he IS a bastard. I won't dispute that. I know he has done some terrible things, and probably devastated our country for years to come, and that's just the prologue.

But Bush is NOT as bad as Hitler. These comparisons do NOTHING to help our cause. It didn't help when MoveOn.org did it, and it's not helping now. It drives away moderates, and does NOT energize our base. In short: it hurts us.

Bush has NOT rounded up people into camps. He has NOT turned America into a police state.

In Hitler's Germany, if you disagreed with him, you were sent to a camp. You didn't come back.

In Bush's America, if you disagree, you have a very heated argument before you are told your sources have no credibility because they aren't Fox News.

In Hitler's Germany, if you weren't Anglo-Saxon, you, at best, were discriminated against in every way. Jews had to wear yellow stars to identify themselves. At worst, you were sent to death camps.

In Bush's America, if you aren't a white male, you are probably discriminated against, but not on the level of Hitler's Germany. Don't believe me?

When was the last time you ever heard of an American Krystalnaucht? Or perhaps you've heard of gays' and blacks' businesses being nationalized and them being forced into ghettos? Or maybe there are people who have been funneled into forced labor camps who you know?

There are similarities of course. Both use demagoguery to gain support, but Bush simply uses it to pass laws. Hitler actively KILLED SIX MILLION people based on his bigoted delusions.

What Bush has done is wrong. I emphatically agree with this. He is a bastard, and is our worst president. He deserves to be impeached.

But he is not ACTIVELY TRYING TO KILL THE IRAQIS. He is not so monstrous that he kills people simply because he can.

Make no mistake. I am not endorsing this bastard. He is going to hell. He is a corrupt, egotistical fuckbrain. What he is doing in Iraq is wrong in every way. But. . .

Let me repeat this: BUSH IS NOT HITLER. HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE HITLER. HE DOES NOT WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HITLER OR HIS AGENDA.

Bush just wants to rob this country blind. Period. No imperialistic ambitions, no grandiose crusades for Christ. He just wants to help his cronies get as much money as they can, regardless of the legality or morality of its obtainment.

He just wants to take this country's money for the rich. Period.

Every time a DU'er say's 'Bush is Hitler' or compares the two, it makes me, and A LOT of other voters, sick.

You dishonor the many millions of people killed by Hitler. You dishonor these victims as much as Bush does the 9-11 victims every time he invokes 9/11 to pass a law or gain 'political capital'. It is wrong. Bush is not the monster Hitler was.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to put on a flame proof suit.
