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.

Is that a picture from a frat house?

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.
Bush's speech last week led me to rewatch my DVD of Der Untergang [Downfall] . There are many similarities between the tyrant and the would-be tyrant.
Katrina was America's Chernobyl.
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 Nuremberg Precedents outlawed "preventative warfare," that becomeing a new strategy officially announced in 2003, by Boy George! Those are embraced in the U.N.Charter, being an effective extension of the U.S. Constitution. Most of what we're seeing comes out of "Mein Kampf" and the course corrections out of the Nazi legacy - which nearly won.
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".
true, and so are your other observations. When I watch the news, I get the sense of almost eager anticipation regarding the eminent strike on Iran. There are some voices of restraint, and not just from the late night comedians, but not near enough.

It's not so much Nazism. The USSR loved to launch "Defensive Assaults" to protect communism. Just ask any Finn, Czech, Afghan, or Hungarian. There is little difference between the USSR invading (for defensive purposes of course) a nation to defend the "worker's revolution" and the USA invading nations to "spread democracy." All warsaw pact training manuvers had them launch first strikes on NATO that were justified with things like "increased negitive comments about the USSR appearing in Western media." That why I prefer the term neocommie to neocon. Bush and his crew are 21st century bolsheviks.

They also didn't like Germany's economy. In 1913 Germany was the economic super-power of Europe. Which they attemped to crush during and after WWI. Notice that Germany was forbidden to produce consumer goods after the end of WWI at were the bread and butter of France's and UK's economy (I.E. France made damn sure that Germany was forbidden to produce wine and champaign after 1918) Hitler's rise to power saw the resurgence of German civilian industrial might along with the military. Hence, Germany had to be removed from the world economic arena again. The Allies just didn't count on it being so hard and taking so much damage themselves which ironicaly left the USA as top dog in the world economy in 1946. And thankfully the USA came along with the Marshal plan and wasn't so petty as to make Geramny dirt poor a second time after seeing what the self serving "peace treaty" of 1918 caused.
