Like I said another member felt the comparison was in poor taste and wrote to me. I passed this along.
I can understand both sides of the coin on this one.
I think George Bushes record speaks for itself. Focusing on the issues alone should lead any rational person to recognize the true impact this administration has had on both the American public and the world.
This does cause outrage in many of us and the desire to express this in no uncertain terms is fine. I will defend everyones right to do so and am with you on this.
But, on the other side of the coin, I can understand that to compare what Bush has done to the economy and to world peace to Hitlers actions is unfair.
The intentional murder of six million men, women and children is clearly in a league by itself. It should not be trivialized by comparing it to the actions of an imcompetant and greedy man. What Hitler did stands on its own merit and I wouldn’t want to minimalize it one iota.
The comparison to Hitler is not wrong because it’s unfair to Bush, it’s wrong because it is unfair to the victims of Hitler and their surviving family members.
As far as Bush goes you can tar and feather him on the issues, Hell I will pitch in on the tar and heat the pot, but leave the Nazi part out in honor of those that did lose loved ones.
I respected the request from the member based on that, not a desire to excuse George Bush of any of his actions.
