While I am on record as thinking Rove a dysron--one of normal or above average intelligence, whose fears and/or compulsions reduce his analytical abilities to a moronic level--even I do not think that Rove would be so stupid as to make such a comment to a well known Liberal. Indeed, the very fears and compulsions that make him fail to see how really stupid some of his ploys are, would absolutely prohibit it.

It is Clinton, of course, who adopted Hitler's political play book--the big lies, the effort to always seem as something you were not, the skilled use of scapegoats, etc..

Hitler's evil was not, of course, per se, in his genius for whipping up a crowd. He was truly the most skilled politician of modern times. His evil lay in the use of lies to impose an absolute Socialist tyranny; one, in which individual lives, property, every form of legal right and every aspect of cultural heritage, were alike the playthings of a monolithic State; where the innocent were butchered for conceived political advantage, etc.. Conservatives need not be afraid of supporting people who are effective with crowds, just because Hitler was effective with crowds. The important thing is what you do with the enthusiasm you can engender, not that you can engender it.

Never lose sight of that obvious distinction. There is nothing whatever wrong, per se, with a good rally. The Left would like nothing better than for Conservatives to eschew political skills, lest they be accused of being Hitler-like.

BTW everyone, even if Woodward's book turns out to have nasty stuff in it, there's no way it could possibly make Bush look anywhere near as bad as the Clinton goons came off looking when Woodward wrote "The Agenda" back in 1994.

Years ago I cancelled my subscription to the Washington Post and I will not pay one penny to support this liberal screed -- I hope it hits the bargain bins in record time....

I see the logic of the hidden implication.

Hitler was popular.
Bush is popular.

Therefore, Bush is a nazi.

Watching from owner George Steinbrenner's box, Karl Rove thought, it's like being at a Nazi rally."

I wonder if Woodwierd can tell me what I'm thinking? (HINT: 8 letters begins with "a")
