I don't think I have never equated Bush to Hitler, although I think I have either read or posted pieces by several columnists that make some connections or voice some concerns about the direction of Bush's administration.

But even if I had equated Bush to Hitler, I have certainly read extremely vile posts at SI about Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and other Democratic leaders. Whether or not I agree with these candidates or supported them, I have never considered attacks on them a personal insult in any way.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion of public figures and political parties. Voicing these opinions at Feelies is perfectly acceptable and is within the terms of use. I find it extremely bizarre that anyone is so sucked up into any particular political figure or political opinion that they would take frank discussion of the sort that appears on editorial pages all over the country every day personally when they see similar comments here.

If you cannot see the difference between a Feelies poster saying that leftists who post here are gleeful when soldiers die in Iraq, which is personally extremely insulting to actual individuals who post here, and intellectual comparisons of two political regimes which quite a few professional writers are airing in print recently, I cannot help you at all.
