Only Difference Between Bush's Speeches and Hitler's Speeches Is
Bush usually holds his indoors while Hitler seemed to like the outdoor thing.

The use of the military, the backdrops and symbols, the same. Only thing missing is the swastika.

12. Pretty incoherent mush toward the end - just like Shrimpy's
German, English, whatever. Insane babble is insane babble.

6. Hitler would have whipped everyone up into a frenzy
The Navy kids probably just wanted to get out of class for a few hours.

13. He certainly whipped the media whores into a frenzy. They're making
me sick with their incessant masturbating on tv.

7. It's too dangerous for Bu$h* to be outside. Even Hitler could go outside
but Bu$h may be more universally hated than Hitler was. What a legacy. :sarcasm:

9. At one of Cheney's last speeches he had
two American flags and two red flags with a blue circle with 3 white stars in the middle. The Red flags with the circle is very close to the Nazi red flag with a circle of white and the swastika in the middle. I am surprised no one has commented on this.

15. Hitler could actually string together whole sentences.
Bush can't even get through one without pausing.

18. Probably took lessons from Mesmer, even though he was jewish.
I interviewed some survivors of WWII in Germany about Hitler the man.
He had an aura, he could control a crowd and rouse them like a magician. Even if they knew he was lying to them, they didn't care. Things were so bad in Germany, that giving them pride and direction was the best thing they could remember at that time. It allowed them to make excuses for all the strange things that went with. The SA, then the SS and Gestapo. Even though Jews suffered from the economic collapse in Europe like everyone else, pointing to them as a scapegoat really hit a responsive cord. Personifying an evil makes it understandable to the psyche.

That is precisely what Bush is doing in Iraq. Zarqari, Al Qaida, Sunni muslim terra-ists, etc.

21. Thanks for your post
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 12:25 PM by jokerman93
If true, (and I think what you're saying is credible) it puts the Bush machine's manipulations in a stark and disturbing new light.

These days we've surpassed the early developments of Mesmer with the technologies of Neuro-linguistic programming and the rapid-fire image-gun of the universal visual media to really work the masses over. I agree. The same principles are at work against the national psyche now as in the Hitler era.
