Santorum Regrets Making Hitler Comment

Las Vegas Review Journal ^ | 5/20/05

[Republican Wildcat]

I would ask why a Republican is getting so much scrutiny in the press for this comment and the Democrats due it routinely and get no scrutiny for it, but of course all of us already know the answer.

[Republican Wildcat]

due = do

(good grief)

[tame]

whoever uses Hitler/Nazis in any discussion to prove/disprove a position...loses the argument.

nonsense. it is often used as a legitimate direct point-by-point comparison that stands on all fours.

[tame]

What's wrong is that such talk puts us on their level. And that's not good.

no, it doesn't. our comparisons are usually accurate point-by-point comparisons (while the rats' are not). And that's good.

Jim Angle filling in for Brit, compared Rick to Robert KKK Bird. It sickend me to no end.

[OldFriend]

CNN did that the very first day.

FNC becoming CNN clone.

of all the possible examples in all the history of the world...Hilter is on point ?

You lose too

the analogy is on point. philosophers understand what it means for a comparison/analogy to be "on point".

i win. YOU lose.

Are you seriously saying the hilarbeast has ordered the invasion of a third of the world, the executions of minorities, one total religious group and war against civilians? I think seeking universal healthcare falls somewhat short of this level.

Senator Santorum's actual words:



"We must tread very carefully before we go radically changing the way we do business here, which has served this country well. We have radically changed the way we do business here.

"Some are suggesting we are trying to change the law, we are trying to break the rules. Remarkable hubris. Imagine, the rule that this is the way we confirm judges has been in place for 214 years, broken by the other side 2 years ago, and the audacity of some Members to stand up and say, How dare you break this rule, it is the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942 saying: I'm in Paris, how dare you invade me, how dare you bomb my city. It's mine. This is no more the rule of the Senate than it was the rule of the Senate before not to filibuster. It was an understanding, an agreement, and it has been abused. ..."

Do not misunderestimate The Beast. The only answer I have to your questions is "not yet". Recognizing the personality is the first step towards stopping the eventual rise of a tyrant.
