Hey, you think that’s bad - I’ve read in several threads, on this BOARD(!) where they equate the current administration to Hitler/Nazism - I know, what a bunch cooks, but there you go.
As someone who is not fond of the current administration, I really wish people wouldn’t do this.
Not only is it really fucking offensive to minimize the crimes of the Nazis - nothing Bushco has done is even scratching the surface of what the Nazis did - but it’s a great way to make the Bush administration seem nice in comparison. After all, bring up the names of someone who stuck Jews, Catholics, Gypsies, Queers, and the handicapped into the ovens, and suddenly imprisoning Arabs at Guantánamo seems like a rational move in comparison. Hey, fellow lefties: figure it out! Nothing Bush has done can compare to what Hitler did, so when you bring it up as a point of comparison it makes him look fucking innocuous in comparison.
