1. and as usual when watching anything to do with the Third Reich...
I am struck by the similiarities between today's American Nationalism and hero worship of George Bush and the rise of the National Socialist Party and Adolf Hitler.

It's eerie and more than a little frigtening.

2. There is one crucial difference between Hitler and B*sh, though.
Hitler was a decorated war hero. :evilgrin:

4. Hitler was pretty articulate
and a rabble rousing orator, too.

7. It's very scary indeed
I remember last month on Malloy's show a woman called in who lived through Hitler. She escaped because a family here in the States sponsered her so she could go to college. She said she still had her check point card with all her information on it and according to her experience everything Bush is doing Hitler did. It's very scary indeed to think about. :scared: I remember reading earlier this year on CommonDreams' website a guy who escaped Hitler from Germany came here and then earlier this year he was escaping Bush from the US to go back to Germany for the same reason's he left Germany in the first place. Now that's scary. I also once watched an Alex Jones documentary and he interviewed a couple who lived through Hitler and they saw him in Bush.

5. He was a natural at exploiting human weakness.
He systematically destroyed political opposition via character assassination.

Sound familiar?

Yeah.

8. Exactly
Karl Rove. That's all his doing. That's another difference. Hitler did all the destroying himself while Bush has someone else do it for him through Karl Rove who has someone else do it for him to keep his hands tied.

6. Oooooh. Shiny, happy people holding flags!
The expressions of outright adoration on the faces of the German crowds in 1939 remind me of something...

:freak:

9. If you haven't
watch video's of the Hitler youth rally. All of them blonde hair and blue eyes and all of them admiring Hitler and everything. It's so scary.
