Springer joining Jon Stewart in saying "stop the Nazi comparisons." NO! [View All]

[Atman]

What Springer and Stewart are forgetting is that Hitler didn't START by killing 6 million people in the gas chambers. BushCo is starting EXACTLY the way Hitler did, by changing the laws to make his illegality legal, by keeping the public in constant fear, by passing sweeping laws limiting citizen's rights and expanding the reach of the state.

Quite frankly, there IS NO OTHER DIRECT COMPARISON right now! There just isn't. So, if Bush is using the same tactics Hitler used, what the hell are we supposed to compare his actions to? If the fucking shoe fits, Jerry and Jon. And it fits at this stage in thier respective quests for ultimate power. It simply is ACCURATE. No one is claiming Bush is systematically shipping muslims to gas chambers. The gas chambers came much later in Hitler's reign, many, many years later. Bush is only in his fifth year. Or tenth. Or twentieth, depending upon who you really believe is behind his ascendency.

But sorry, Jerry and Jon...there ARE instances where Hitler offers an apt comparison to Bush. Therefore, more scandalous than mentioning Hitler would be to ignore the historical lessons Hitler's rise to power should have taught us.
