I don't equate them. And I said I don't. And I continue not to. I know you'd LIKE me to equate them- because that so simplifies the matter for you- in to one of those "good versus evil" things, but I can't oblige you. I don't see it so simplistically.

OK, good.

Then let's stop equating the "propaganda" since doing so has a predictable effect.

Hell, everyone in politics propagandizes using fear when fear is prevalent.

If you didn't hear Kerry do it, you weren't listening.

The kind of comparison in which you engaged was odious, regardless of your disinclination to equate Hitler and Bush.

Comparisons with Hitler, on any front, should be limited to truly abominable figures, such as Pol Pot, Stalin and folks of their ilk. Otherwise, we end up cheapening the coin.
