That Pesky Bush-Hitler Thing
t r u t h o u t | Commentary
By Marc Ash

Tuesday 06 January 2004

Here we go again. Another bone-head with a Bush-Hitler analogy.
How many times have we told folks this? Bush is not Hitler, Bush is
not Hitler, Bush is not Hitler. Holy cow, this is getting really
frustrating. Why won't this thing die?

Just because his grandfather Prescott Bush financed Hitler's rise
to power, do they think that means George W. Bush has Nazi
tendencies? That's absurd. Is it fair to say that just because the
U.S. government had to step in and shut down Prescott Bush's
Union Banking Corporation operations in New York in 1942, under
the Trading With the Enemy Act, that this Bush should viewed with
caution and skepticism? That's just silly.

And who are these bloody Europeans who keep comparing Bush
to Hitler? Take that German Justice Minister, Herta Däubler-Gmelin,
who compared Bush's dealings on Iraq to those of Hitler. That really
takes the cake, now doesn't it? What do the Germans know of
Hitler anyway? Why should they feel empowered to warn the world
of such impending dangers? Why couldn't they just shut-up and
help us kill the Iraqis?

The worst has to be Newsweek's Poland bureau. The story they
published titled "The Bush Family and Nazis" was completely out of
left field. Who cares that the story states "The Bush family reaped
the benefits of slave labor in the Auschwitz concentration camp"?

The important thing here is that George W. Bush is very patriotic.
RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie is right. His boy George is clean, that's
right, clean as a whistle. No skulls or bones in his closet for sure.

This thing has to stop right now. New rules: If you are a journalist
and you talk about Bush and Hitler, you're fired on the spot, no ifs,
ands, or buts. If you are an official and you try it, you will be forced
to resign -- you're done. And for all of you trouble-makers out there
who want to keep it up on your own, we can keep track of you with
the Patriot Act.

I don't have one. I'd FEEL better if Bush acknowledged the problem. I'd feel even better if he had some policy brains working on a strategy. Probably nothing will stop it, but NOW is the time to try.
Clark has mentioned it in a speech of his I caught, so at least he's aware of the problem.
