TeresaBenedicta Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Please don't take personal offense at what I'm going to say, but this is a pretty sensitive subject to me and I feel I need speak frankly. I absolutely have no idea how people can so easily make comparison between Adolf Hitler and George Bush or Hilary Clinton or any other spoof that people do to "make a point." I'm sorry, but what Hitler did in Nazi Germany has absolutely NO COMPARISON whatsoever to any of these spoofs, much less George Bush. I don't care whether or not you agree with the war in Iraq or any of his other policies. It doesn't matter. It is nothing to the torture and murder of over 6 million PEOPLE. Do you think it funny or amusing or something to be taken lightly? It's one of the worst evils that this world has ever seen. And yet, people think so little of it that they are willing to compare that horrific time in history to now? I can't even begin to express how much that angers me. Have we already forgotten how horrible Hitler's reign was? Are we truly that naive? To make such a comparison is disrespectful, rude, insensitive, and in my opinion just plain out-landish.
White Knight Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Ya know Bush may not be the best president we've had, but surely its taking it too far to call him the same as Adolf Hitler, sorry that just doesn't seem logical, Ya Bush isn't the best, but hes done many things right during his 8 years. I think its outrageous and apalling to address George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler as the same person, even if its joking, just some things you dont joke about, sorry but thats the truth.

picchick Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Are you joking about this? Bush is nothing like Hitler. Hitler had a cruel intention on killing innocent people just because he hated them. Period. No questions asked. He just killed them. One story that I read on a concentration camp was that they lured the Jews in and convinced them that they had great work for those who had the specialties for the work: doctors, nurses, dentists, house maids. Adults and Children were told to leave everything behind and strip naked so that they could go to the delousing showers. They raced to the gas chambers for a chance to be the first one chosen to work. They sealed them in and killed them all...heard them screaming and everything and LAUGHED. Hitler did not acknowledge the Jews, Poles, Gypsies et. al. as humans. They were like cattle. The wives of the concentration camp guards would be able to go among the prisoners and choose tattoos that they liked. The person was then killed for their skin. Inhumane, gross, unthinkable experiments were carried out on them. And you trying to compare and contrast Bush with Hitler? War is a horrible thing. This war is killing thousands of innocent people. But it is not like Bush is directing a sort of hatred towards the troops and towards the people of the Middle East.

I just think it's lame and a cop-out to compare someone you don't like to the epitome of evil.
goldenchild17 Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 well I think he's pretty close. If he doesn't make the presidency and isn't raised to one of the most powerful positions in the world then I wouldn't think so, but he is and I do. I'm scared of what he might do. I hope my fear is unfounded, I really do. But I'm just not expecting to be pleasantly surprised. There are many people I don't like, most of which I don't consider to be bad people. I just don't like them. Obama is an exception.
Deb Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Comparing Bush to Hilter is unfair. Bush does seem to maybe care about people but, he is stupid. Hitler was not. Bush has let his advisors lead him into lying to start an unjust war, giving massive tax breaks to his buddies, destroying our economy with his war, allowing torture, so on and so on. Hitler did the leading. Bush will probably regret all the American lives and innocent Iraqi lives that have been snuffed out and the pain the families of all those who have died have had to endure. Hitler only regretted losing so he took his own life. Bush may have a chance to atone with God. Hitler probably didnt. Hitler was responsible for the death of millions. Bush, only tens of thousands. Hitler though, by comparsion to the genocide taking place in this country and world wide via abortion, is a lightweight.
Autumn Dusk Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Bush is more like Lincolyn....yes Abraham Lincolyn....(he wasn't such a hero, afterall)

He also cares about the environment despite what people say...his actions (his ranch) prove far more to me than any law he passed.

Hitler did the leading.[/quote] Umm about those taxes. It wasn't just his buddies but alot of mid-sized business owners. If you owned a decent sized grocery store which did, lets say, 200,000 in business each year (not uncommon) you'd have to report that 200,000 as PERSONAL income. Even though you have 10 employees and handle thousands of dollars of merchandise a day. I studied this thoroughly in Economics with prof's who weren't Bush fans in the slightest. And about destroying our economy with the war....well...you don't know just how much military spending is actually being done...and that spending is on parts made in your backyard without you realizing it. Sure there are big airline names like Lockeed and Boing, but they get their parts from tiny shops in california, penn, ri, ct, texas, ad nasium all making their (very good) living off of that.

I'm sure that Bush will atone and grieve for the men and women lost...but I don't think its necessarily his fault.

He's saved millions, or atleast thousands, when it comes to abortion. He's made the best headway BACK to the way things should be since RVW
