I was watching a program on the Pentagon Channel, which is basically reruns of old US propaganda films. It was amusing until they were disparaging Hitler for holding trials where the defendants were refused representation, witnesses, evidence or any other form of defense. I thought, it is so great that we went to war to stop this sort of mad dictatorship from spreading around the world. Then I remembered Bush.
Of course there are many other similarities between the two fascists:
Nazis demonized the Jews. The Republicans are going after Hispanics.
Hitler ignored all international treaties. Bush does likewise.
Hitler used the Reichstag to institute a massive right wing drive to take complete control of Germany and turn it into a one party dictatorial government. Bush uses the World Trade Center.
Hitler instituted a massive propaganda campaign to frighten Germans with the idea that Germany was in danger. Bush, dittos,
Hitler launched a murderous invasion of Czechoslovakia, Bush slaughtered tens of thousands in Iraq.
Hitler went after Poland, Finland, Denmark and Holland. Bush sets his sights on Iran and Syria. The rest of the Middle East to follow?
Hitler placed the the Gestapo above the law and turned it into a wing of the Nazi party. Bush is doing the same with the FBI and the CIA.
Hitler had the SS. Bush has Blackwater.
Hitler set up brutal concentration camps. Bush opens Guantanamo.
Hitler opens secret prisons where he gleefully tortures his perceived enemies. Bush clicks his heels in unison.
Hitler was very smart. Uh oh. Bush is a moron sock puppet for Cheney, the Dick.
Wow! It was getting scary there for awhile. Thank goodness that we have a strong opposition party to stop this madness in the bud.
Oh fuck!
