""fas-cism

An accurate description of Bush Inc.

"use government to empower

> create an illusion of prosperity through continual
> and ever-expanding war.

Almost exact. What's missing, however, is the "illusion of prosperity".
The Junior Bush League can't even get fascism right.

One silver lining to that scenario would be the eventual absence of self hating little bitches like you and MSI.

Report German History at Your Own Peril

tv.zap2it.com

In an interview with TV Guide about the four-hour 
film, scheduled for May, Gernon compares many Americans'
acceptance of a war in Iraq to the fearful climate in post-
World War I Germany, of which Hitler took advantage to
become its ruler.
"It basically boils down to an entire nation gripped by
fear, who ultimately chose to give up their civil rights
and plunged the whole nation into war," Gernon said in the
interview. "I can't think of a better time to examine this
history than now."

Gernon's remarks reportedly didn't go over well at CBS,
which has tried very hard to frame "Hitler" as a historical
piece that in no way sensationalizes or offers excuses for
Hitler's actions.According to The Hollywood Reporter,
Gernon was fired Sunday (April 6) from Alliance Atlantis,
the production company making "Hitler: The Rise of Evil"
for CBS. He had worked there 11 years and was head of the
firm's long-form programming division.
