Do you think that they know just how mind-blowing their mind-blowing hypocrisy actually is?
I suppose it was inevitable that the liberal intelligentsia would start comparing George Bush to Adolf Hitler. Here is what Los Angeles Times columnist and Georgetown University law professor Rosa Brooks recently said… “I think we do live in 1930s Germany, but the question is, in which part of 1930s Germany? Some people argue that we are in the Germany of 1939, other people argue that we are in the Germany of 1934… are you already over some crucial tipping point and it’s already unstoppable”… it would not take much for things to get past the crucial tipping point where the US ceased be a democracy.” Brooks was discussing a book by former Al Gore adviser Naomi Wolf, “The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot.” In the book, Wolf insists that she is not equating Bush with Hitler, nor the United States with Nazi Germany, then proceeds to do just that… Nazi Germany became a one-party state in July 1933, six months after Hitler came to power…
That was in the run-up to the 2008 election, which turned out to differ from post-Wiemar Germany in several salient respects. The part about having an election at all, for instance, seems to be the kind of distinction that should have implied a difference. But that did little to dilute the ultra-sophisticated discussions about what flavor of fascist Bushilter exactly was.
In fairness to these tools times really have changed. When you’re resisting a genocidal, free-speech destroying junta like the Bush administration, it’s any means necessary. Now that The One has ascended, more the opposite:
From a Q&A with the speaker of the California assembly, Karen Bass, in the Los Angeles Times: “The Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now [some] are facing recalls. They operate under a terrorist threat: ‘You vote for revenue and your career is over.’ I don’t know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it’s about free speech, but it’s extremely unfair.”
Change!
