MoveOn, Hitler and Bush: Hooo, boy!

Anyone who hates Bush is a Democrat. Got it. Guess that explains the German justice minister, huh? Not to mention Osama and Saddam. And Castro, and Kim Jong Il, and Satan, and Godwin, and Jeffrey Dahmer.

Thanks for clearing that up.

All those guys have “strong libertarian streaks.” According to you it really doesn’t matter how many Clintons and Democratic Candidates and liberal think tanks, and Democratic activistic organizations you own, as long as you have a “strong libertarian streak,” which you seem to have defined as supporting the legalization of marijuana and right to die. Clearly of course these two things are incompatible with Democratic thought.

Perfect irony is acheived! Upon investigation, the repellent verbiage aforementioned was posted to a message board hosted by Madeliene Kane, political humorist of an (apparently) liberal stripe! (Her version of the ol’ Nat King Cole standard, “Unforgettable” to “Deans Electable” is priceless, Joe Bob Elucidator says check it out!..)

It appears, then, that Ms. Kane posts her messages as is, without subjecting to scrutiny a la correctness. Of course, this in no way lessens her responsibility as a purveyor of racist propaganda.

Right, Scylla?

But, hey, thanks for turning me on to the really cool, witty, lefty type site!

Lessee, isn’t the German justice minister a Green? Like, as in Ralph “Fucking” Nader? Yes, how very libertarian. And bin Laden too? Saddam thinks everyone should just be able to work out things for themselves? Dear Leader is building nukes for the sake of individual self-determination, free enterprise, and the right to shoot smack? Satan? Castro?

I’ll grant you Jeffrey Dahmer, though Libertarian may wish to contest that point.

Hi Elucidator:

Are you going to answer my question?

Libertarian “streaks”

I agree it’s stupid. It is after all, your argument. You say Soros has “libertarian streaks” and the fact that Soros practically owns the Democratic party is immaterial. The “streaks” mean he’s not a Democrat.

This “streaks” thing sure sound pretty weaselly to me, and according to you, I would know.

Without wishing to detract at all from the complete idiocy of insisting that Soros is not a Democrat, which can only be possible in a universe where Richard Scaife is “not a Republican,” George Soros is innocent of the BS French insider trading charges, conviction notwithstanding, and the Pound needed killin’.

Hmmmm. If George Soros “practically owns” the Democratic Party, what percentage of the Pubbies does Ken Lay own? Or is it technically owned by an offshore corporation in Fastow’s name? You think Enron’s chunk will be auctioned on E-Bay?

So, on Scylla list of the numerous Democrats who have been making Nazi type comparisons to GeeDubya we got:

Robert Byrd - granted (Bless his heart, he means well…)
George Soros - under debate, matter of defintion
A couple of quotes from Democrats from years back
Some poster from a message board from God only knows
And of course, that well known spokesman for the Democratic party, Mr. Jonah Goldfarb of National Review Online

Tell you what, Scylla If you cross your heart and pinky promise that you honestly and truly believe that the cites you threw up on the screen actually prove something…well, we’ll just have to agree to disagree. 'Cause from here it looks like a pretty slipshod effort, kind of thing you foist off on someone you figure ain’t too bright. Like you can piss on my shoes and tell me its raining.

As to your question? You gotta be kidding, try to hand me a choice like that? You seriously believe anybody here is that fuckin’ brain dead?

What do I think happened? You heard this little snippet of garbage floating around, say, oh, I don’t know, take a wild guess…right wing radio? About how all those Democrats are comparing Bush to Hitler. Probably right before the witty remarks about Hollywood elites and Algore.

And you believed it without question, without reflection, well, of course its true. And when called upon, you had the very uncomfortabe realization that, just like me, you couldn’t actually recall any Democrats saying it! But you knew it was true because of course it was true! Everyone knows Democrats are like that!

As Eugene V. Debs is my witness, that’s the truth, that’s what I think. See, I listen to Democrats a lot, you know I keep up with the news and hadn’t heard about all these Democrats making Nazi slurs on GeeDubya. But you claim that you have. But forced to examine that belief, and offer cites to substantiate it…you got diddly squat. Hell, at least three of those were reprints of the same Jonah Goldfarb opinion piece reprinted in different papers!

Do you really believe that those cites substantiate your claim to a solid degree? Did you even read any of them?

While we’re on the subject, I’d like to read the onboard Bushbot’s opinion on the numerous Saddam-is-the-new-Hitler comparisons made while marketing the invasion.

For instance:

Saddam the new Hitler, Bush tells Europeans

Hitler’s disciple in Baghdag – by Rebublican Senators Stevens and Warner

I suppose Godwin’s Law doesn’t apply when they use it to scare the living shit out of the sheepl…er, patriots. Of course, the fact that the comparison is even weaker than the one that has rabid Bushbots such as spinmeister Scylla in a lather is of no consequence. After all, if Dim Son said it, nothing less than their personal honor and integrity are at stake.

And we all know just how important those traits are in this Administration and their lockstepping acolytes. Which is to say, none at all.

Age Quod Agis,

Beyond the rebuttal’s already offered to your post – namely, the reason’s why that list of yours is so flimsy as to be close to laughable for 'Presidential achievements" – I’d like to once agin point out that I can think of next to nothing that can excuse the current Admistration for leading your country (and bribing a few others) into a war of agression based on prevarications and outright fabrications. Lying, and killing on account of those lies simply doesn’t sit well with me.

If that is not enough to convince you – or anyone else for that matter – that the incumbent and his cabal should be disposed of as swiftly as your laws allow, I am honestly at a loss for what would be. Unless of course, BJ’s are still the standard.

As for my being mugged while living Stateside, beyond admitting to being scared shitless during the event, it is but a small negative entry in the ledger of my over one decade long stay Stateside. You might be pleased to hear that on balance, my memories are rather fond of both your country and the great majority of the people I met.

Elucidator, ETF, DTC and Minty, care to help me out here? I’m looking for subjects for a thesis on cluster insanity. Based on location, Minty can be the wild-card subject.

Please note that I’ll be using subjects from the state mental hospital as the control group.

Hey, duffer. You’re already getting the crap beaten out of you in your stupid pit thread Well, if you found a link, I guess you win. No need to invite more.

So you’ll invite them for him, eh Desmo? :wink:

I meant invite more bashing rather than more people.

But que sera.

Nice cross-post, I just punk’d you Desmo. try to stay in the thread on responses.

Demostylus, if I may set aside my trademark humility and selfeffacing humor for a second, if you thought duffer was getting torn apart in his pit thread before, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. Check out his most recent sally. :slight_smile:

Daniel

Gee, doofus, I haven’t participated in an “insanity cluster” since 1969! Thanks for reminding me, fond memory for the reclining years…

This is nothing about nothing, but awhile back I got to wondering exactly how far back US presidents have been compared to Nazis. Some people were saying Roosevelt was no better than Hitler while the damned war was still going on!

While I was searching, I ran across this July 21, 1947 entry into Harry Truman’s diary:

We historians had it wrong all this time. It turns out that Harry invoked Godwin’s Law while he was trashing Jewish people and BLAMMO! He automatically lost the argument, and as a result the great state of Israel was born.

Is there anything you can see which would indicate that he is worthy of being considered a spokesman for the mainstream “Dems”? Cause when you say there is noise coming from some sort of group and then hold up someone who could, at best, be considered fringe in that group, that doesn’t really implicate the group now does it? The Dems and Soros may be on the same path at the moment, towards getting rid of Bush, but just cause they’re in bed at this instant doesn’t mean he should be considered a spokesman for the group.

And minty, stiletto heels? I thought Doc Martens were the footwear of choice for liberals these days. I’m so behind the times.

Enjoy,
Steven
