January 16, 2007 -- Bush-Hitler comparisons. A few years ago, this editor appeared on Hannity & Colmes defending my article likening the policies of George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler. Afterwards, I was confronted with the usual comments from neo-Nazis, Freepers, Limbaugh radio monkeys, Likud supporters, and limp-wristed Democrats. And as for "Godwin's Law" (you lose the argument when you bring up Nazis), Mike should've stuck with data privacy lawyering and left political comparisons to the professional pundits. Bush-Hitler comparisons are now the rage. They weren't in 2003. Now that Bush-Hitler comparisons are in vogue, WMR is pleased to link to this video on YouTube.

This sort of comparison isn't really fair to Hitler. Hitler was no saint, but he did have the guts to actually fight in a war. He didn't run and have his daddy make a hiding place for him like Bush did. Hitler was also a self made man. His family was poor and he rose through the ranks by his own effort. Bush's daddy gave him everything and Bush blew it each time his dad set him up - including this time with the Presidency. Hitler also got the German economy back on track - and he put the German middle class back into a comfortable position. No need to go into this with Bush the miserable failure. Hitler almost fought the modern armies of the world to a draw. Bush got his ass kicked by a pack of goat boinkers fighting in loosely organized bands. Hitler also killed more innocent people than Bush did, but to give the devil his due, this may change soon.
Hitler and the Nazi regime were charged in the Nuremburg trials with conspiring to start a war of aggression against Poland. Now what were the German propaganda reasons for this war against Poland? First- Poland had financed and armed seperatist rebels in Bavaria in the 1920's. Second, ethnic Germans in Poland had been the victims of what we would call "hate crimes" today since the end of WWI. Third- the proximate cause was a lie about Polish troops doing a cross border raid on a German radio station. That was a lie and actually mental patients murdered by the regime were dressed as Polish troops and strewn about the radio station as if killed in a battle for their controlled press to take pictures of. In other words- Hitler's justifications for invading Poland which freaking borders Germany, though utterly without merit- had more substance to them than Bush's for invading Iraq- a country half a world away.
The other irony is that Churchill and Truman instead of "liberating" Poland at the end of the war, happily gave over Poland and other Eastern European nations ( many of whom fought valiantly for the allies) on a platter to Uncle Joe and the communists - arguably the most murderous heinous war criminal crazies in modern history, who were never brought up on war criminal charges ( which they so deserved)like the Naziis were.

The reasons for war against Germany by Britain and France had nothing to do with any sort of principle of non aggression. They just didn't like Germany's aggression. It wasn't in their "interests". And by "their" I mean the governments of France and Britain- not the "British People" or the "French People".
