Your government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a
murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries
in their sights.

Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.

People look at all this and think of Hitler-and they are right to do
so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very
quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act
now; the future is in the balance.


As the grandson of a German National who was shot dead in his
livingroom by the Brownshirts for having and listening to a shortwave
radio in 1937, I find this remark astonishingly offensive. Not only for
its blatant attempt to smear the name of an American citizen with The
Abomination of Homo Sapiens, but for its breathtaking inaccuracy.

If you really think that GW Bush is the second coming of Hitler, you
might wish actually read a history book. I'd also recommend 'Mein
Kampf.' See if anything sounds familiar.

I hack out some stuff I simply felt no nedd to coment to get to this
stuff

the trouble is that somehow since 2000 the left got the script for
their glasses so screwed that they CAN read Mein Kampf and see or think
they see GW Bush

I as the great grandson of Man reviled as a fool at first first ( and
later the only survivor of the family) for fleeing the Sudatenland when
Hitler took power. am no longer offended by such blindness but
freightend by it
