Jeb, the Hitler question, and Fredo

[Cyrano]

Jeb really is the Fredo of the Bush family.

What sane, intelligent politician would have answered the "Hitler question," the way that Jeb did.

"Would you have killed Hitler as a baby?" Only the dumbest politicians in the world would have answered that question the way Jeb did.

The answer is simple: "That's a crazy hypothetical. It assumes you know who is going to be 'good' and who is going to be 'evil.'"

Jeb proved himself to be an absolute moron when he said he'd "kill baby Hitler."

I really don't want the Fredo of the Bush Crime Family in the White House. (Or any other Republican for that matter.)

1. Yes, that was a less than brilliant answer in so many ways. nt

[justhanginon]

3. That (he) is a less than brilliant candidate in so many ways.n/t

[uppityperson]

2. It is telling to me that the only way he can conceive of not having Hitler do what he did is kill a

baby. He didn't say "golly gee, heck no! Who'd kill an innocent? I'd have made sure he was raised differently and stop it that way." Just "yes, murder an innocent infant". And that they can't see how this contradicts the fake "pro-life" bs they spew. No imagination is not your fit being a president.

9. Great.

This needs to be made into a poster available to all.

The clown car, Jesus, and Hitler joined in a timeless chorus of election year snake oil.

15. rec!

7. To be fair to !, the question ...

... was "if you had a time machine and could go back, would you off baby Adolph", thus it was more "knowing what we know now" than some supposed clairvoyance about good/evil babies.

So, you see, the question was much more reality based and relevant to ones ability to govern than you had supposed.


I can't believe he answered it either. A stunned look out "what the hell did you just ask me?" would have been much better.

8. This is the new kick butt Jeb

He'd kill baby Hitler, He'd kill for daddy, He'll fix it, By gosh he eats nails for breakfast.... AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

Even NPR pledge weeks are more exciting than this guy.

10. They're All Fredo!

There's no Michael in the crowd. Cheney was the hothead Sonny, Rumsfeld is Rocco, but there is no Michael and no Hagen.

11. Unfortunately, it's true

The GOP is proud to be today's "Know-Nothing" party. If any of them chose to recognize reality, they'd be "whacked" out of running for anything.

And ALL of the blame goes to the fools who insist on voting for them every time. They are willing victims walking without a clue to their own demise.

13. I used to think that Jeb! was Michael, Neal was Fredo and Jr. was a rare hybrid of Sonny's temper

with Fredo's brain. But holy shit! You're right. They're all Fredo.

12. The problem is the question...

The question should have been

would you go back further in time and ABORT Fetus Hitler

[Cyrano]

14. Oh, gracious, goodness. No Republican would

ever want to abort a fetus.

Google Jeb and Terri Schiavo. When he was governor of Florida, he did everything possible to side with the crazies and stop a woman in a permanent coma from having an abortion. -- It was a national story.

That makes Jeb a true Republican hero. And an absolute human prick.

[lame54]

16. I followed that in real time...

Jeb! and Tom Delay aka The Cockroach were complete slime and they totally maligned Michael Schiavo
