I am sorry--I am just not getting your point. I read an article that Ionesco posted, which among other things had this line in it:

"Yes, many of Hitler's faith-based comments could have come from George Bush himself, and are undoubtedly the kinds of sentiments many Americans not only agree with -- but take comfort in."

So I thought it was an interesting article, and wrote a brief comment to Ionesco. I am sure I probably agreed that some of the points were worth thinking about.

What I don't see is how you make the leap to something like I am running around Feelies equating Bush with Hitler (and by implication I suppose slandering all the Bush supporters at Feelies?) Is that what you are alleging? Because of this?

Talking about public figures--especially the ones who in some ways control your life, and may threaten it--is absolutely ESSENTIAL to being a good Feelies poster. What you should be concerned about is anyone here elling you that because they think you are a Bush supporter, and Bush's religious views have some commonality with Hitler's, you, Kid Rock, are a fascist.

Now that would be a personal attack. Please let me know if anyone here threatens you like that, because it would be a violation of the Feelies rules.
