lol...wow way to take things out of context. i remember watching him give that quote. he was JOKING! freaking drama queens. i swear all you partisan people are all alike. it doesnt matter if you are from the right or left. hey lets take a quote and get a somewhat sinister looking picture of bush and put them together so they look really bad when the original quote was not said in that sort of context. GREAT JOB MISLEADING!!!
im sorry for calling your post stupid, but you are making a silly comparison that is way over the top and incorrect. maybe now you can address the stuff i said in my previous post.
I'm interested. How is a comparison 'incorrect.'? You can make many parallels between Bush and Hitler or Mussolini. You can make comparisons between Hitler and Churchill. Remember, Hitler was reviled long before anyone knew about the Holocaust. He was reviled for using deception and fear to promote war, for subverting the democratic process and reducing civil rights, and for invading lesser nations in the face of global opposition. *cough*. THAT was the Hitler the world rose up to fight against. NOT the Holocaust, about which we mainly knew nothing and cared less until after the war. Similar comparisons can be made with Mussolini, especially his African campaign.
“Why of course the people don't want war... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.” Hermann Goering “The art of leadership... consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention... The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.” Adolf Hitler
Since everyone is exaggerating and taking things out of context why not move to the next ‘logical’ step… Minions
ok well incorrect may have not been the perfect word choice for expressing my feelings. yes you can make a comparison to hitler, but i guess if you want to go out on a limb like that then i can compare anyone to hitler. hell i could probably compare kerry to hilter because of the way kerry flat out lies about the economy and how bad he says it is when it is really very strong. the job growth hasnt been great under bush up until the last quarter, but now it is simply stellar. so i make the comparison by saying they both lie therefore kerry is like hitler. kerry is trying to play off this false idea in the american public that the economy isnt good when it really is so he is trying to create a false sense of instability so he can use that false belief to get elected. maybe i am oversimplifying the argument but thats how i feel the comparison is incorrect and by incorrect i should probably say invalid. am i kind of making sense? i'm not sure if i am expressing myself entirely well. i mean you can also compare FDR to hilter because he systematically rounded up people by race and nationality and threw them in internment camps just like hitler. does that mean FDR was like hitler? i don't think it does, but the comparison can be made. FDR was also much closer to an american dictator than bush has ever been. thats why i feel all this stuff about comparing bush to hilter is so over the top. its really annoying how people can make such wreckless statements and accept them as truths. if you really believe bush is out to take over the middle east for its oil then so be it, like a hilter might do. i don't think you do, but i know there is this strong belief in america that it is his purpose. there is no feasible way for that even to be done. people get extremely dramatic with what bush has done as if he is going to take over america and as if he has destroyed all the freedoms in america. i have seen nothing change and its almost as if most of it is imagined. like i said if things were that bad do you really think moore's movie would be out? do you think that these protesters would be allowed to protest? there is this strange idea that is around in the heads of most anti-bush/anti-war people that they are labeled unpatriotic for not supporting the war. yes that was true immediately after 9/11, but can you not tell me that sentiment faded quickly and that it then became this imagined sort of response? kind of like what you see that pops up immediately in the D&D threads that have something from someone against the war. i dunno thats just my feeling on it. i hope that made some sense...sometimes i'm not very good at expressing the thoughts in my head.
Long live Bush and the empire he has bestowed upon us all so that immoralistic heathens will be perished so help us all...
well neville, i suppose you're right, but then you could just as easily compare the entire DNC to Vichy, but then at that point you'd have to say the thread had gone GP on us...
Liberals did not - Start a war based on reasons that have been shown to be false Liberals did not - Fire scientists who's scientific findings didn't match their hoped for result. Liberals did not - rewrite scientific reports in order to make it closer to the outcome that they wanted Liberals did not - send forged documents to help make a case for starting a war. Liberals did not - allow a member of the administration with top security clearence to leak the name of an intel officer while we have troops in the field, and then allow that felony to go unpunished. Bush started a war, did all this other stuff and the liberals are the ones that are immoral? I've never encountered someone with a sense of morality like you have.
It is faulty if a realized, and logical threat is not acted on. Thank God for President Bush!...the rest of your unsupported, unproven snips are pure rubbish idealistic of a hedonistic mind...
Roxran your mind needs to learn the meaning of hedonism before commenting on my mind. The other stuff is not unrpoven or unsupported. It's all been discussed and posted on this very website. I'm sorry you missed it.
Actually I don't know who eli pariser is. I specifically limited my comments to things that had been discussed on this board. Things such as the forged papers sent by Bush to the IAEA. Things such as Bush's firing of scientists and vetting scientists based on political beliefs. The administration's rewriting of EPA reports to better suit their purposes. etc.
