So Who's Going to Lay into Rush, FR, et al for "Hitlery" Clinton?
The hypocrisy of the outrage over the MoveOn campaign is outrageous in itself, considering the well-published pundits of the RW who have referred to our former First Lady as "Hitlery" for several years.

When is someone with a microphone going to step up and call their asses on it?

1. It's only bad to make Nazi comparisons when we do it.
Didn't you get the memo?

2. Her new name is "Hillary 'Rob 'em' Clinton," according to Phil Valentine
the odious AM rdio talk jock in Nashville.

Seriously, why is this such a fucking big deal? Hasn't anyone seen "The Producers?" What about when the right calls us "Stalinists?" Wasn't Stalin just as bad, if not worse?

This is just proof that we are held to a different, harsher (double) standard than the right.

4. Better Call the Usenet Admins and Get These Scrubbed!

MoveOn had better wise up in a fucking hurry.

I think this thing is far less about the RNC's supposed outrage than it is their first real attempt to crack down on political speech on the web.

6. If this Bu$h/Hitler video is so offensive
then why did the RNC put it on their website?

Besides they have been making Nazi references about the Clintons for years. Why is this worse? Because it's closer to the truth?

8. I bet it won't be the Simon Wiesenthal Center
They only seem to be disturbed about Hitler comparisons when they come from the left.

9. Funny how they're getting themselves so steamed about this when...
Hitler, Stalin ... and Clinton?
Newspaper poll ranks president second among most evil

© 1999 WorldNetDaily.com

A New York Post survey of readers sampling nearly 20,000 people ranks Bill Clinton second to Adolf Hitler as the most evil person of the millennium...

Bill Clinton Admired Hitler Too

We are not sure Arnold Schwarzenegger admired Adolph Hitler. If he did, he would share something with Bill Clinton.

The Clintons' anti-Semitism is now well known.

Details of it first emerged from retired Arkansas state trooper Larry Patterson who told NewsMax the inside details of the Clintons' dislike of various groups.

During the six years Patterson guarded the Clintons, he said their deep-seated anti-Semitism became apparent in slurs they hurled at each other. Bill Clinton also frequently told Jewish jokes.

Jackie Mason likens Bill Clinton to Hitler
TOM TUGEND

Jewish Telegraphic Agency

LOS ANGELES -- Jewish comic Jackie Mason has compared President Clinton to Adolf Hitler.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Mason, known for offending ethnic and political sensitivities and an old Clinton foe, referred at one point to a conspiracy theory alleging that the president was involved in the death of Vincent Foster, one of his top aides.

"Clinton would just as easily kill as Hitler would. He has no conscience," Mason was quoted as saying by writer Paul Brownfield.

The Hitler analogy

Yet, politicians and others continually raise the specter of Hitler and analogize current public figures to him in an effort to motivate us to support their views and proposed actions. Case in point is Arizona Congressman John Shadegg's likening President Bill Clinton to Hitler for proclaiming the Ironwood Forest northwest of Tucson a national monument.

"I would draw a parallel to Hitler," said Shadegg. "He eroded the will of the German people to resist evil." Shadegg was talking about Clinton's use of the president's executive power to create national monuments.

Billionaire compares Clinton to Hitler, Stalin
By NANCY MATHIS
Copyright 1998 Houston Chronicle Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON -- He's back.

Dallas billionaire Ross Perot returned to the national airwaves Sunday with a conspiratorial thud as he compared President Clinton to Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin and Saddam Hussein and suggested Clinton uses cocaine.

Perot's appearances on NBC's Meet the Press and on CNN's Late Edition came as the nation's capital reached a feverish nadir on the eve of the House Judiciary Committee's debate on an impeachment inquiry.

http://www.chron.com/cgi-bin/auth/story.mpl/content/chronicle/nation/98/10/05/perot.html

It took me five minutes to find these just by Googling "Clinton" "Hitler" - I'm sure there are plenty more out there.

10. Funny Like a Screen Door on a Submarine
Edited on Tue Jan-06-04 05:28 PM by Crisco
Between this and the Limbaugh crap, I think it's becoming apparent the Rethugs are getting a little agitated over the idea that the Left has gathering places where things can be said - and heard - beyond their control.

12. Or how about when they say that we love Saddam.
Fuck them.

Seriously.

If these Republican-voting, Rush-listening, FReeper jerkoffs lived in Germany in the 1930s, they would be prodly waving the swastika and threatening anyone who spoke against the Nazi party.

14. Their outrage is really with moveon.org.
They want that organization taken down. They know it is very successful and they hate it with a passion.
