Guest MikeSC Report post Posted September 5, 2004 Former senator John Glenn (D-Ohio) took the defense a step further by comparing the Republicans' misleading statements to those of Nazi Germany. "You've just got to separate out fact from fiction. . . . Too often, too often, in this country, if you hear something repeated, it's the old Hitler business -- if you hear something repeated, repeated, repeated, repeated, you start to believe it," he said. Ah, more Hitler/Bush references from the Dems. Man, I'm glad they're running the "nicer" campaign. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2004 You're totally blowing that out of proportion. You're equivocating his comparison of lies to the "Dems comparing him to a mass murderer". He said he was like Hitler because he lied. He did NOT say he was like Hitler because he exterminated a bunch of people. He didn't even imply anything. I know Hitler is a name you shouldn't use, and that was a mistake, but he probably felt that they both used the same tactic of using emotions to play to the crowd, which they do to the point of nausea. I thought only Liberals made the logical fallacy of equivocation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SP-1 Report post Posted September 6, 2004 But Hitler is more widely known and hated for . . . KILLING A MASS NUMBER OF JEWS. Not lies. KILLING JEWS. Not lies. KILLING JEWS.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2004 When I read it, it seems too subtle for him to outright be calling him a genocidal dictator. Like I said, bad example, but I don't believe it's intended because I don't think every person in the DNC is an ass. If you think that the average American would interpret that to be a comparison of mass grave records, then the problem lies with the average American.

I just think it's too subtle, and the "Big lie" thing is a tad more specific than facial hair. It just seems too subtle. Of course I'm just trying defend Dems everywhere since anyone who doesn't look at this as Hitler=Bush must be part of the DNC. Remember, you're either with us or against us.

He also believed in No Child Left Behind... I cannot stand any more of these outrageous and untrue Bush/Hitler comparisons. For the record... MILITARY SERVICE Hitler: A decorated World War I veteran. Bush: Dodged Vietnam and cannot provide proof of National Guard Service. CAREER Hitler: A self-made man who rose through the ranks of the German civil service and was elected Chancellor of Germany. Bush: Born into wealth; attended Yale on his family name; ran several businesses into the ground; elected President when awarded the electoral votes of a state governed by his brother. PUBLIC SPEAKING Hitler: One of the most well-known orators of the 20th century. Bush: Has trouble pronouncing common words and creating logical sentences. LITERARY ACHIEVEMENTS Hitler: A published author. Bush: Once passed out on the steps of the library. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2004 Bush still needs a little hand gesture as well. He's got a long way to go. He already has one- scratching his head! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Jeez. I'm moderate(60/40 liberal on the issues) and I don't like Bush, but comparing him to Hitler is goddamn ridiculous. I think the majority of people either agree with Bush's decisions from the get-go or almost immediately call bullshit no matter what. Since 9/11 it seems like there hasn't been much of an inbetween where people take the time to deeply contemplate an issue. This is referring to the average citizen, of course. Oh, and the moustache has to be a handlebar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
