03/07/2004: "Bush=Hitler?"

From Kim Du Toit via Belmont Club

I can take it further. Your grotesque equation of the [President Bush and Hitler] is a profound exaggeration: and it's the same kind of gross exaggeration used by Hitler and his henchmen to inflate the "Jewish problem" into a manifest danger, whereby people could ignore the excesses of places like Dachau as being justified. In case that isn't clear enough to you, let me connect the dots. George W. Bush isn't using Hitlerian tactics, you are.

These people who use such exaggerations don't fight fair and don't seem to have our country's -- or the world's -- best interests at heart. They seem to use half truths against their opponents to achieve a fleeting rhetorical victory, rather than using whole truths to improve the common consensus. Hopefully, someday, they'll 'get it'.
