This will sound familiar. Davids Medienkritik -Young Man: You Are A Nazi I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I read an email from Christian (20) one of the young participants in our rally for German-American friendship. He wrote: "I was in a store with the same jacket on that I wore to the demonstration when two older individuals (both around 60) approached me and asked whether it was me that had appeared on television coverage of the rally. I acknowledged skeptically and then they went off: How could I, hopefully a healthy human being, could support such a Fascist who simply killed so many thousands of people. They said I should be ashamed because of that and shouldn't have spoken on television. They then further compared Bush with Hitler (as is so often in Germany) and identified themselves as teachers. They said, and I quote: "You are really a Nazi, Bush is just as bad as Hitler if not worse, and believe me, my wife and I know that, we are both History teachers." This is the sort of tolerance that one can expect in Germany. You are tolerated as long as you share the common opinion that Bush is an evil Fascist. As soon as you so much as make a peep that you might support Bush or America you are written off as a Nazi and a Fascist by many on the Angry Left in Germany. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident...
