Such gross exaggerations seems to really illuminate the stupid.
No they aren't actually, sorry but historical comparisons are on our side. I think the most vivid example of this is the Reichstag fire, 9/11 incidents. They both rallied the population against a common enemy, and enabled both Hitler and Bush to enact legislation that dramatically reduced the rights of citizens. Neither Bush nor Hitler were elected into power either, they were both appointed. Both have used extreme nationalism and patriotism to stifle debate. These are things no one can deny, they have happened in front of our eyes. I fear the only reason why someone would say BU$H = H1TLAR references only make them look like a pack of intuitively deficient idiots. is because they have a emotional-intellectual complex that denies any relation because “Hitler’s bad”. Surely no one wants an American president to be compared to a Fascist dictator of the 30's (trust me no one). But we shouldn't have to shut up, merely because some people can't grasp or even cope with an accurate comparison btwn the two. Remember it's really just a comparison, no one here is saying that these two men’s policies are the same in scope, but they both have a common thread. If we ignore history we are bound to repeat it, and dismissing rather thinking about comparisons is just one faucet of that. Let's not get so nationalistic and emotional that we can't see the glaring comparisons btwn the two. I am certain we can compare Bush to another tyrannical leader as well, Hitler is really just the easiest one. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if I could compare Kerry to Peron!
