5. Now I'm pissed off
It was clear to anybody with half a mind that I was comparing Reagan to Hitler.

6. Let the mods know.
An unlock is not unheard of.

Very reasonable folks, these mods.

29. Like I said over there....
At least Hitler gave us the Autobahn and the Volkswagen. It doesn't balance out his negatives, but it's two things more than Reagan ever gave us.

Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 09:30 PM by CreekDog
that was brilliant.

and i say this as someone who has not decided which of them to vote for.

also: i think your OP was more a commentary on GD than on the Obama statement.

22. Why the hell
did people think you were comparing Obama to Hitler? Just because of the word "change"? Barack Obama does not own the word change! It's so obvious that you weren't talking about Obama at all.

I mean, people talked about the Reagan Revolution, right? and What changes things more than a Revolution? Reagan changed the country... for the worse. Hitler changed his country... for the worse. You were comparing two people who practically every DUer hates, and you were AGREEING with them about how bad those two hated people were. Why is that something to fight about?

Man of vision.
Er...

Er...

technically a teenage girl of vision....

who doesn't make eye contact.

Somehow that doesn't sound as good.

27. Yep, it's the word "change." Obama owns that word.
Therefore, a vote for Senator Clinton would be a vote for zero change. It would be a vote for another 8 years of Bush-Cheney in all but name. Now, don't blame the messenger. I'm simply trying to understand things, just like you. The difference is that I'm not afraid of the officially accepted reality and its inherent truthiness.

31. Its funny (sad really) that people

32. I saw a ball in motion and thought that I would catch it and
give it a toss. I didn't intend to make any assumptions.

30. Nice post, Ronnie
and no, I can't see how anyone could interpret it as comparing Hitler to Obama either.
