Guys I think we are going a bit over the top here on our critism of lanny.

I THINK I get what hes trying to get at with this whole bush/nazi germany stuff.

Bush is Running a Campaign based on fear, fear of safety, fear of terrorism. The whole "Terror alert" level is just a bunch of bullsh*t to feed the media.

Lanny is trying to compare Bush Scapegoating people like Saddam who might very well have had absolutely nothing to do with the terror attacks that happened on 9/11 much like Hitler did with Scapegoating the Jews, the rounding up of prisoners in camps (Guantonomo Bay).

Bush and Hitler are/were both diverting attention from real issues by blaming people, if it isn't Saddam, its someone else, but keeping the attention away from the issues at home in particular.

Now I am not trying to say terrorists in this case are entirely innocent, this is just the point I think Lanny is trying to get across.

Nice try.

Most of what you are saying is simply not true. Bush's stump stop speeches have been DOMINATED by domestic issues. How is that keeping attention away from the problems at home? Comparing the detainees at Gitmo to Jews in Nazi death camps should be a crime. How freaking pathetic.

You have no clue what you're talking about and you're coming to the defense of someone who has clearly demonstrated he has no perspective except paranoia.
