03/04/2004 Archived Entry: "Hey, look! A Hitler comparison!!"
Hey, look! A Hitler comparison!!
But it ain't those angry, hateful Democrats doing it.
Republican Congressman Tom Cole claims a vote against the re-election of President Bush is like supporting Adolph Hitler during World War Two. It's what he said recently before a meeting of Canadian County Republicans.U-S Representative Tom Cole might have stirred up Democrats by saying a vote against the re-election of President Bush is like supporting Adolph Hitler during World War Two. Or supporting Osama bin Laden now. "If George Bush loses the election, Osama bin Laden wins the election," Cole is quoted in this week's edition of the Yukon Review which covered the recent meeting of the Canadinan County Republicans where Cole was a speaker.
After hearing Karen 'Big Boy' Hughes droning on and on about 'angry Democrats' this morning, I'm sure she'll just hop right back on that satellite hookup that bush paid for and renounce these hateful, angry remarks.
Right?

a vote against Big Brother is a vote for Emmanual Goldstein. if you criticize our valiant leader, the Eurasians have already won!

Just a quick rant here...you know what scares me about the future of America more than all the self-serving hate and fear mongering dickheads? It's the fact that there is a large portion ( I am praying a not-too-large portion) of our population that falls for everything they are spoonfed by these neo-fascist ideologues. I mean it scares the shit out of me to think that there are a lot of people out there that have bought into that, " I'm too busy with my head up my ass so I'll will trust the government and the media to tell what to think". Talk about a vote for Hitler. This banal servitude is what started WWII. I fucking hate the fact that we have a government that know it and plays to our collective ignorance. What's the old saying, "We derserve the government to elect" OK, we didn't elect this one but still, you know what I mean, right? WAKE UP AMERICA AND GIVE YOUR HEAD A SHAKE!!!

Never misunderestimate the Power of Bush.
As my nephew in Sugarland (I believe it's a suburb of Houston) told me last year: "I trust President Bush to do what's right for the country on all issues foreign and domestic."
Yikes! Oh yeah, he also converted from Catholicism to Southern Baptist. I suppose that's not as bad as being a heroin addict, right?

Metro:
You said "he also converted from Catholicism to Southern Baptist. I suppose that's not as bad as being a heroin addict, right?"
Having converted (40 years ago) from a Southern Baptist to an agnostic, I'm not entirely sure I agree. But then, I have become focused on "Doing my part to piss off the religious right", so one could say I'm biased. Not to mention being a Texas yellow dog Democrat...

The guy at Talking Points Memo did some good reporting (would that the SCLM would do the same) and called this schmuck Cole for a "clarification," i.e. a chance to back off the Hitler jive by blaming drink, the passion of the moment which has since been regretted, failure to take medication, etc.
Instead he sent a press release which he seems to think makes him sound all calm and reasonable since he never EXACTLY said that a vote for Kerry was a vote for Osama and Adolph, whereas a vote for Dubya was just like getting to vote for FDR and Lincoln.
