That's what I was wondering. You keep characterizing Hitler as the man who killed however many Jews. Is that the only thing that you can think of to say about him? Are these ads suggesting that Bush wants to eliminate the Jews? If not, perhaps they're suggesting that he shares other characteristics with him. And perhaps he does.

If one were to use the standard that the U.S. should never fight unless our own tangible self interests are at risk, then with the exception of fighting Japan(who we BEGGED to attack us)
Quote from dbphoenix:
I'm not defending anything. The word "Hitler" prompts a knee-jerk reaction, and you're reacting just as they expect you to. All I'm suggesting is that you think rather than explode.
Quote from Maverick74:
There are many people I dislike in this world and god knows I am no fan of the democrats or the liberals, but never in a million years would I compare any liberal to Hitler. Never.
This is not to defend db's posts, but maybe that's what he had in mind when he said, "All I'm suggesting is that you think rather than explode".Quote from Maverick74 to dbphoenix 40 minutes earlier:
Is that the only thing I can think of you Nazi F*ck?

Quote from Maverick74:
Let me ask you something. I take it by your remarks that you are completely endorsing this ad by moveon.org.
Quote from dbphoenix:
Not at all. My point is that your virulent reaction to it is preventing you from considering the points raised. That makes you highly susceptible to propaganda from all quarters, not just Democratic.
Again, this is not to defend db's posts nor moveon.org, but all I was doing was pointing out the obvious contradiction of your professed statement and what you had actually done a mere 40 minutes earlier. For doing so does it reveal a "character" flaw on my part? Do I also become a Nazi F*ck in your eyes?Quote from Maverick74:
I'm sorry, that is unacceptable. How do you expect someone to react when they make such a hideous comparison. Let me ask you something Magna. How would you like it if I ran an ad on TV tonight comparing your father, if he is still living, to Adolph Hitler? Huh? How would you like that? Would you react calmly to that. If you would, I don't have any respect for you either. We need a new moderator on this board. Someone with a little more character.
