As the grand-daughter of a Holocaust Survivor, I find Bush's comments to be beyond contemptible.

[Happyhippychick]

Further evidence of how completely out of touch he is with reality.

1. As well you should.

This idiot does not speak for me or anyone else I know. It will be the biggest miscarriage of justice ever if he doesn't have to answer for his crimes after he leaves office.

[LakeSamish706]

3. I'm with you on that... Lets hope that the day after President Obama is inaugurated...

he sends word to the Senate and the Congress that crimes of the past Administration must be brought to justice.

[YOY]

2. I'm a little bit more upset that the Knesset didn't start rumbling with disgust

at the comparison.

[DogPoundPup]

4. Is the phrase "out of touch" the right one to use?

I believe he has been completely responsible for ramping up the hatred and intolerance level from say, a 3, to off the chart since coming on the political scene. (divide&conquer) It's very intentional! It has worked for him and his political party up to this point...let's hope, no more will it work.

5. i heard this morning that is "forbidden"

to mention the holocaust or nazism in the Knesset...opps!

[unblock]

6. my mother was smuggled out of germany as an infant

and i second your sentiment.

he's a scumbag of the worst magnitude. i've never understood how some people buy the argument that terrorists who have limited ability to murder handfuls of people at a time, with one spectacularly over-hyped day of 3000 deaths, can remotely be compared to highly organized, well-financed and resourced major industrial nation waging a war of conquest with many military victories across multiple continents and murdering many millions of people in the process.

the desire of some people to simply lump these vastly different enemies together and slap them with the "evil" label is mind-boggling. how can you fight an enemy when you don't remotely understand the threat?

7. Every time I think he's hit bottom and can't get any lower

He digs some more. He'll have to hit the water table soon.

[elehhhhna]

8. He'll never hit the water table -- that dumbass couldn't find oil in the

Permian Basin!

Just sayin.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. He went through it a while ago

he's going for pure magma now

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. As a daughter of a survivor I also find it horrific,

as well as Capo Joe LIeberman's applause

Oh and for the youn'ins here is the reference

Capo

(Kapo), trustee, an SS appointed prisoner who was the head of a labor squad. He or she retained this privileged position by terrorizing subordinate prisoners.
The Capos were an instrument of the camp regime of humiliation and cruelty, and their role was to break the spirits of the prisoners.

The Capos had warm clothing, enough to eat and lived in a reserved section to the prison barracks. In many instances Capos who mistreated prisoners were put on trial after the war.

11. I say we handcuff Bush and McCain together...

That way their ties can be highlighted when Bush continues to offend us and stick his foot in his mouth.

[roguevalley]

12. Joe Lieberman is a fucking asshole to think this is good.

[applegrove]

13. I agree. It isn't the same thing. Political opportunism mixed in with the holocaust. Not pretty.
