Seriously? How is equating Bush and Hitler not questioning his patriotism? How is suggesting he's simply making decisions to benefit his oil buddies not questioning his patriotism?


Truth be told, the vitriolic hyperbole about Bush far outweighs what I've seen about Obama to date. Maybe if Obama wins, this will change (I'm not hoping for either of these outcomes BTW).

Be honest, you just wanted to use the words "vitriolic hyperbole" in a sentence.

There can be no possible come back to this. You are exactly right. Dems cringe when someone talks about the omnipresent one who speaks of change.

No, no, no. Hitler was an evil genius. Bush is just a doofus.

Big difference.

Depends on what you are talking about....... he single handedly destroyed the German Military.

Good point. Hitler was a lousy military strategist, especially invading Russia in the dead of winter.

Hey, come to think of it maybe that's the better analogy for Bush.

The point though is why do you even have to go there? Here's a thread with Nancy Pelosi making her 1,657th nutjob statement. It's stupidity stands on it's own without making some dumb reference to Obama's middle name.

Exactly, and I think I missed the part where I compared George W. Bush to Hitler. Then again, maybe I was drunk posting one night.

Oooohhh! Why'd you have to reference Bush's middle initial emain?

you might brush up a bit on your military history a bit before erroneously trying to use it in an analogy.

He started with a great plan (from his military cabinet) but as the war rumbled on he listened to them less. In many people estimation he suffered from mental issues and grew paranoid especially after his close call with the assasination attempt. Bottom line is he was so emboldened by his early success he overextended himself. Most armies would have collapsed long before his did though.

It was very fortunate for us that he mistrusted his own generals and kept meddling in their execution of the war.

No one was analogizing Bush to Hitler in terms of patriotism. The comparison was being made in terms of Hitler's poor military strategies in Europe in WW II and Bush's decisions in Iraq. Don't make it seem like any of us is saying Bush is like Hitler in any moral way -- just saying they arguably have a similar shortcoming in the way they wage war. (And by the way, the more I think about it, the more I think the analogy is a poor one since I really think Bush has not micromanaged Iraq in any way comparable to the way that Hitler insisted on directing his war.)

As to your other comment, I personally know very few people who engage in vitriolic hyperbole when it comes to Bush. Sure, there are some ultra-leftist nutballs out there who say horrible things about him, but most mainstream folks who are tired of this administration are anti-Bush because he's done such a poor job of running the country, not because of ideology.

A friend of mine -- a Republican by the way -- said it best to me the other day. She said, "I just cringe every time he (Bush) starts to speak." She feels that Bush's incompetence has single-handedly handed the Congress to the Democrats and further that everytime he speaks, he's just about guaranteed to make a fool of himself even further, and to just add fuel to the fire. She says that she just wants him off the stage as soon as possible.
