CBS Producer Sees Bush as Another Hitler

If you thought the rabid anti-Americanism displayed by such bottom-sucking slugs as Michael Moore was as low as Hollywood can sink, think again. The producer of the CBS miniseries "Hitler: The Rise of Evil" says it is a warning to the American people that if they don't watch out the Bush administration could morph into a carbon copy of Hitler's National Socialist dictatorship.

According to the New York Post, something called Ed Gernon, the CBS producer of the Hitler miniseries starring Robert Carlyle, Peter O'Toole and Julianna Margulies, says he sees the program as a warning for Americans about the Bush administration. And this craven fool says that that he, Margulies and director Christian Duguay all think it's a good idea for Americans to keep Hitler's Nazi regime in mind while looking at the Bush White House.

A fearful American public's cooperation with Bush's policies, Gernon tells TV Guide, is "absolutely" similar to post-World War I Germany's acceptance of Hitler's extremism. "I can't think of a better time to examine this history than now," he said.

CBS President Leslie Moonves quickly separated himself from Gernon's disgusting tirade, telling TV Guide he doesn't share the filmmaker's highly paranoid views and doesn't subscribe to the Bush-Hitler comparison.

Isn't that big of him?

What the American people need to do is keep Stalin's propaganda ministry in mind when watching CBS, a network that hires people such as Comrade Gernon and keeps them on the payroll when they compare the president of the United States to Adolf Hitler.

What can you expect from the network that refuses to lift a finger against useful idiot Dan Rather after he spread propaganda for genocidal dictator Saddam Hussein?

These people are becoming so openly stupid and vicious, that they are their own worst enemies. Let 'em talk. The more they say, the further they alienate 2/3 of the American people.

They're helping the Democrats and the left marginalize themselves so badly that they're going to be a minority party for the next 100 years...

"it's a good idea for Americans to keep Hitler's Nazi regime in mind while looking at the Bush White House.

No problem. When I think of Hitler's Nazi regime I am reminded that President Bush would protect us against such a regime. President Clinton would have fired a couple of missiles and went back to his blow job.

[Blue Screen of Death]

There is about as much chance that Bush will become a socialist as there is that Rather will become an American.

[thoughtomator]

What kind of twisted mind does it take to see an anti-socialist as a successor to the National Socialist regime?

You want to find aspiring Hitlers, take a look a Hillary and Jacques Chiraq.

[Dick Vomer]

Boycott sponsors of show!!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Hey Ed Gernon!

GFY

[sheik yerbouty]

When does the CBS licensing hearings come up?

[trebb]

Rush just slammed him and the Dimocrats for not denouncing this sort of tripe...

[RLJVet]

The kind that must do the twisting necessary to turn a blind eye to the, oh so obvious, Hitlerian aspirations and tactics of Senator Clinton

[trebb]

They're helping the Democrats and the left marginalize themselves so badly that they're going to be a minority party for the next 100 years

My biggest prayer is that you are gifted with the foresight and that this comes true...

[Dick Vomer]

we need to find out when the movie will be shown and who the sponsors are and FREEP till their eyeballs bleed....

sos to all network freepers.... ....

lets find out and see if we can hose this worthless hump...!!!!

What do the UN and the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) have in common?

Irrelevance.

Thanks for the heads up!

What exactly is a "CBS"? Never heard of it.

[HighRoadToChina]

BUMP!

[joebuck]

Lets see...Hitler was a rabid anti-semite who worked to disarm the citizentry. Sounds just like modern day Democrats to me.

[Cultural Jihad]

Let's keep Hitler in mind when viewing the 'power-is-everything--ends-justify-means--ideology-before-nation' Democrats.

[Ditto]

I guess what bothers me is not their blind hatred of Bush. Hell, these people have been programmed to hate people like Bush from their red-diaper infancy through their Ivy League indoctrination. What bothers me is their stunning ignorance of who Hitler really was and what he really stood for.

If they want to see potential Hitlers, all they need do is look in the mirror. They have all the characteristics.

[Skooz]

The overwhelming and breathtaking ignorance of the media/popular culture of the conditions by which the Nazis came into power is stupifying.

[Liberals are Evil Socialists!]

The Demonrats are now failed politically-driven socialist traitors going coup-coup.

[John123]

Here is two questions for all of you conservatives armchair quarterbacks.

How come Dan, Peter, and Tom are still news anchors? Better yet, why is a Canadian telling us what is news or not?

Or that ABC, CBS and NBC haven't changed the format of their biased news programs?

If the ratings are so true that cable news is beating the pants off the network competition, it makes no sense to me to why they would stay with a losing business model...

[Constitutional Patriot]

Sure...but he has no real critical assessment of Saddam and what he was doing to his people. These people really need to be ignored.

BTW...has anyone noticed how the volume of maggots like this producer and his ilk is getting louder and louder the closer our troops get to victory?

[MeekOneGOP]

heh heh !

[Skooz]

Your questions have been answered by Michael Medved in his book "Hollywood vs America." Although he specifically addresses the movies, I am sure the same situation holds true for TV news.

[Slings and Arrows]

Something's not kosher with this photograph.

I haven't read the book but I don't see a correlation between Hollywood and Network news shows. Hollywood has to make money but the networks don't seem to follow that premise.

[Allegra]

Oh, fer cryin' out freakin' loud...

Now I wish I watched CBS News so I could boycott 'em. Thank goodness for FOX!

[tracer]

"I guess what bothers me is not their blind hatred of Bush."

Be of good cheer. All this does is provide verification that President Bush and the rest of us who love America and its blessings are on the right track.....

[gulfcoast6]

Thats it. I will buy NOTHING from any company that has any connection with CBS!

Another anti-American *puke* speaks out {{{{ping}}}}

Thanks for the heads-up, meekie.

[DeuceTraveler]

How come liberals can't get over slavery, WWII, the civil rights movement, and Vietnam? We do have quite a bit more history than that.

Another anti-American *puke* speaks out

You mean, "another anti-American *pukes* out! : )

[First_Salute]

Hillary Clinton as Hitler, born again in one of the devil's many disquises, is easily self-evident; she detests the rule of and would much rather have her rule by Party judges and judge-made law; she is nearly, completely opposed to adherence to the due process of our democratic-republic and only follows along with it as she finds this process useful to her rise to power; she vicariously has become the controlling interest in a vast leftwing media empire that is being built as a propaganda machine loyal only to her (Evercore Partners, NYC); the Bill of Rights are uttlerly stripped, by her, of their purpose, which is to affirm a few of our many, yet very important, individual freedoms by which we protect ourselves from government abuse, excess, and tyranny; etc.

What Mr. Gernon is trying to convey, is that a person who is concious of the need of the people to muster their indivdual rights into a well-regulated, Armed military force, for their common defense, to exercise martial power authorized by the duly elected representatives of the people sitting in legislature ... this, Mr. Gernon is trying to sell, is "militarism."

Instead of all the lawful heritage and our respect for due process by which we defend liberty, Mr. Gernon asks his followers and audience to stare only at "militarism." With the paint brush and many layers of the available imagery of Hitler's use of Germany's state police, state security military, and military, all very harsh and "very scary," on this point, he piles on his fears of it; that, he wants us to buy.

Well, I agree that the worst killer throughout history, second to disease, has been bad government and its abuse, its excess, and its tyranical use of its martial power: its militarism.

What escapes Mr. Gernon, is that, "militarism" is exactly this terror: bad government and its coercive manifestations.

Hitler's ill will makes great film drama, because it was captured on film. While Lenin and Stalin's ill will --- because of the fact that the socialists (thank the leftists, such as Mr. Gernon and his companions for extermination and then extermination of the records of the extermination) were smart enough to bury the story --- has not made such great film drama. To wit: Hitler's national socialist militarism is available to see much more readily than Lenin and Stalin's and Hillary Clinton's nationalizing socialist militarism.

The vast left wing being marginally more devious on the public record, "in the name of peace," whenever you inquire about the left's coercive ways --- the proof --- you get the same answer:

"I don't recall."

The more Mr. Gernon makes an argument for Hitler's national socialist militarism, the more this sad show blocks the view of Hillary's nationalizing socialist militarism coming to a theatre of operations near you.

Yeahh I'm calling PETA...that photo-graph was an insult to all self respecting pigs every-where! All food source Pigs of the World...UNITE!

First paragraph, corrected:

"she detests the rule of law"

[FreedomPoster]

>>These people are becoming so openly stupid and vicious, that they are their own worst enemies. Let 'em talk. The more they say, the further they alienate 2/3 of the American people.

Some other conservatives and I have been engaging a bunch of lefties on a neutral forum I'm on (off-topic forum on a car board). My approach is not to try to convert the lefties, but to show the idiocy of their positions to the lurkers. I have some evidence it works, and it isn't hard to do.

[Skooz]

One of the points Medved makes is that some producers would rather LOSE money on a politically correct/conservative-bashing movie if it can score social points with their elitist liberal cronies at their cocktail parties.

The bottom line isn't always the bottom line. Of course, he makes the point much better than I.

[RJL]

The producer of the CBS miniseries "Hitler: The Rise of Evil" says it is a warning to the American people that if they don't watch out the Bush administration could morph into a carbon copy of Hitler's National Socialist dictatorship.

I just called my local CBS affiliate program director and told her my opinion of this.

I also let her know that if this was show was broadcast on WCCO TV, I would remove the CBS channel from my TVs (very easy to do with an electronic TV tuner).

I hope others will do likewise.

[ohioWfan]

Sorry for bringing this up, but I've read many a post right here on FR, accusing this President of being a 'socialist' and comparing him to Hitler.

You don't have to go to the far left to find hatred of Bush so deep that all rational thought is lost in ideological tunnel vision. You can find it on the right as well.

And as far as I'm concerned, it's even more hideous when it comes from people who claim to be Conservatives who love this country, than it is from these mindless leftists who obviously hate it.
