Did you research being a glorified toaster? You didn't 'concede semantics'. You found it useful to use them and forgot you denied them. You are a blowhard.

Bush was at it again today. This is as serious as Hitler and Stalin and Lex Luthor. Okay, not Luthor.

W's gradpa was a facist sympathiser. W's dad had more than one person had to resign from his presidential campaign for being members of European facist groups, old money WWII era pals of his Dad's.

W himself tiptoes through the bluebells with Saudi Princes holding hands, the same princes who rule the totalitarian regime you.

Do any of these things make W the same as Hitler? No. He is a far lesser problem.

The many and various threads of Arab extremism may well have goals similar to WWII facists. The same goals don't make them the same thing. That's cynical sophistry born more from the fact there are less than three months left before the midterms and the party in power has shitty poll #'s than any facts on the ground. It seems clear to me our Pres hardly believes his statements himself, since he hasn't raised any taxes or called for a draft, actions which would be entirely appropriatte if he thought we were facing Stalin or Hitler.

Is your argument that W et al ACCIDENTALY are hitting the nail in the head, that their cynical electioneering happens to also be true? If so, where is the groundswell (or any swell at all) to throw these bastards out of office and replace them with people who not only desribe the threat accurately, but face it?
