Hitler/Bush - can you tell the difference?

Puhlease.

Hitler - murderer of millions.
Bush - hated my millions of liberals.

You may not like Bush, but go read some WWII history.

Really!

There are very important differences between Hitler and Bush.

For one, Bush never called for the production of cheap, fuel-efficient cars.

If someone really does see simularities between the two they may want to get a shoe horn and pry their head from their azz.

Hilter: parodied in Blues Brothers.

Bush: parodied in Fahrenheit 911

Chili is officially my favorite liberal. Hey, that sounds like a show from the 50's...

[wavy dream sequence]

"Now it's time for America's favorite show, My Favorite Liberal. Starring Nigal as the doddering old conservative dad and Chilli36 as the strange liberal from outer space that causes mayhem and hijinx. In this week's episode Chili shows up at Nigal's fraternal lodge and demands that women be allowed to become members. Hilarity ensues!"

hitler was a way better public speaker.

whenever i see bush talk, he always looks like he's thinking - i just farted and it was kinda wet. i hope its all good down there.

What about the torture of prisoners of war?

OK, let's talk torture. I'm not sure to what extent torture actually happened, but I'd say it was a bit shy of taking Jews and submersing them in cold water until they died of hypothermia to figure out just what the human body can tolerate. Apples and Oranges.

Hmmm, panties on my head or a phucking oven? I just can't deside! Well, sense I have some panties on my head right now I'll have to choose that.

Nice to see a chick getting in the political mud pit BTW. As weak as the attempt may be, it's cool anyhow.

Nigal, I'd never heard that term until, "Along Comes Polly." Very funny when the guy says they have to leave the party because he "sharted."

You're absolutely correct on that point Sacco...but is he really a bad speaker or is his lack of verbal finesse due to him being a terrible liar?

He should be impeached and then put on international trial.

Funny, America got so worked up over a blow job in the Oval office......where's the same outrgae now? Are we Americans really this ignorant?

nigal, you just don't like hitler cause of what he did to the jews.

but look at some of the positive things.

he tried to take out stalin's russia.

hey, if it's wrong for one fascist dickhead to invade a country governed by an evil despot then...

i don't think it was the blowjob that got people so worked up, i think it was the cigar thing.

Saying Hitler wasn't bad is like saying you want your daughter to marry Charles Manson.

You just can't say it without cringing.

It's not the bj, it's that he broke the law by lying about it under oath and then got away with it that got me worked up. Oh, and the fact his old lady looks so bad in a pants suite.

Hey, if Bush has broken the law some how bring the evidence and let's get it on. Why hasn't this happened yet?

yes, dayhiker, i'm actually saying that hitler wasn't all bad.
i'm also saying that when he invaded russia it was A-O.K. because russia was being ruled by an evil despot, and it's a perfectly fine thing to do, to pre-emptively invade another country, as long as they're ruled by a dictator.

i also actually believe that george bush squirts in his pants while he farts - every single time he speaks in public.

i also actually believe that the only reason nigal doesn't like hitler is becuase he killed a few million jews.

i also actually...

Torture is torture.

It makes absolutely no difference whether the torture involves the gassing (and other atrocities) of hundreds of people or if it involves panties on the head and sexual poses (and who knows what else has been going on which is not currently public knowledge).

The motive is the same for both examples, making those that are deemed "the other" a non-human being, stripping another human of their basic of human rights. Frankly, I think this is how the more grotesque forms of torture begin. Once you justify one action - where do you stop after that?

How dare we, a suppossed super-power, stoop so low. And how dare we as citizens of this country stoop even further by somehow justifying these actions by saying to ourselves - "oh, well it's not as bad as Nazi concentration camps".

Are you freaking kidding me? It is not acceptable - not in the least - not on any level - there is no justification for it.

Not really. It has to do with a mad man seeking world domination under a fascist regime and yeah, there is that 11 million people (Jews and Gentiles alike) he had gasses and baked.

I didn't say there was a justification for whatever torture might have happened. I'm just saying it's not even the same ballpark to compare the two.

FYI, the Bush/Cheney campaign is currently running commercials that intersperse the sounds and imaghes of Adolf Hitler amongst those of Al Gore, John Kerry, et al. Anyway, the thread is supposedly about this movie. Who knows, after 100 or so posts, someone may actually get back to it!

Well, if you want to make apples to pumpkins comparisons (apples to oranges is too close for the comparison being made), then I guess we would have to say Truman was a real bastard, wouldn't we?

"nigal - i don't think twinks is saying that they are one in the same.

Well, in her first post she asking if there is any difference between Bush and Hitler. And then as if she could get any more ignorant she stated…

“It makes absolutely no difference whether the torture involves the gassing (and other atrocities) of hundreds of people or if it involves panties on the head and sexual poses (and who knows what else has been going on which is not currently public knowledge).”

What conclusion am I to draw from this? ‘Absolutely no difference’ were her own words. The thing that blows my mind is she can be so ignorant as to not only connect the actions of some few out of 140,000 to Bush but then draw parallels between Bush and Hitler.

Oooh, starting so soon with the personnal bashing Nigal?

I stand by my "ignorant comment" that the examples are one in the same.

Debate me otherwise...instead of weakening your point by lashing out at me.

New point.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the average german joe-schmo was unaware of the horrors taking place in the concentration camps - then they were in a state of disbelief and denial. But it happened and they did nothing about it. Let's not make the same mistake.

Oh -= and why aren't we showing what's really going on? Why aren't we showing our men and women with body parts blown off and screaming in agony? Why aren't we showing the bloodied bodies of the supposed "evil doers"? Ugh...and all of the freakin "good versues evil" stinking horse crap...

Arghhhhh!

Personal bashing? Your comments were ignorant. You compare Bush to Hitler for the actions of a few. That IS ignorant weather you see it or not. There’s nothing personal about it Twinks and it doesn’t weaken anything. If you don’t wish me to refer to your comments as ignorant please list for me all the reasons WHY Bush is like Hitler. If you are going to make such claims you have to be prepared to give support to it. Otherwise you are just going on pure emotion.

I say it's a pretty astute conclusion Nigal.

Still awaiting your counter point that has more substance than what you're currently doing which is lashing out at me like a pouty 4 yr old who not getting his/her way.
