Always such hypocrites...

"[What the Democrats are doing 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." --Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), May 19, 2005

"Senator Byrd's inappropriate remarks comparing his Republican colleagues with Nazis are inexcusable. These comments lessen the credibility of the senator and the decorum of the Senate. He should retract his statement and ask for pardon." --Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), March 2, 2005

I know that all politicians flip-flop, but goddamn. I haven't seen such an obvious, hypocritical flip-flop in such a short period of time. Apparently playing the Hitler card is okay, as long as it's for your side. :rolleyes:

[Documad]

True, true.

But also: if you're going to use an analogy, it has to be easy to understand.
I had to read it five times to understand it. That's just bad public speaking.

[QueenAdrock]

I know. A simple "The Democrats are damn dirty Nazis" would suffice. But noooo.

[DroppinScience]

Dammit, if you're gonna use some fascist comparisons, why the Hitler route? That is TOO easy. How about some Mussolini? Or Franco? Or Hirohito? C'mon, throw in some pizazz. :rolleyes:

[QueenAdrock]

Yeah. Like "Democratic senator so-in-so reminds me of Mussolini. They both wanted to be teachers, but turned out to be totalitarian dictators instead."

[Medellia]

True, true.

Me too. That was confusing.

Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) is losing ground to his Democratic challenger, state Treasurer Bob Casey, a GOP poll to be released today shows.

The Strategic Vision survey, conducted Saturday through Monday, gives Casey a 14-point lead over the second-term senator, with the Democrat at 52 percent and the Republican at 38 percent. Seven percent of the 1,200 likely voters interviewed were undecided.

A poll released in early August by the same firm showed Casey leading Santorum by 11 points.

As more people have heard about Santorum’s book, It Takes a Family, and as the senator has come under attack for comments he made about Hurricane Katrina, a negative impression has begun to congeal, Strategic Vision CEO David Johnson said.

[DroppinScience]

Santorum will lose his Senate seat in 2006. He's a colassal embarrassment.

[infidel]

It's fairly obvious Santorum has contracted mad cow disease.
I don't expect him to live to see the next election.

[synch]

He'll be alive, but grazing.

[ToucanSpam]

Dear god.


Did we not all learn anything from Johhny Stewart?


DONT BRING UP HITLER. STOP BRINING UP THE FUCKING NAZIS. YOU WILL NOT WIN ANYONE OVER WITH NAZI BASHING.


Fuck!!! Pick on some other historical asshole. You know, I think the Romans might be coming back in a big way.


Nero is the new Hitler.

[SobaViolence]

i personally use communist when i want to insult someone.

and it was always curious that fear-mongers don't use the cold war and the evils of left-wing extremism as a defence against social and liberal reform...

'Cheney, you're a fucking communist!'

'The fuck is wrong wit you, Dubya, you some sort of communist?'

Nazi bashing? So you reckon calling the democrats nazi's is an insult to nazi's? ;)

[ToucanSpam]

No you idiot, it's an insult to history. :D


Nobody today has the same policies as the Nazis, so why bring them up other than a generic responce when nothing else is left to say..




Synch.......you nazi!! You're a nazi aren't you?! You just nazi it up in the corner!!




.....zzzzzzzzzzz

[Funkaloyd]

I do think, though, that they can be useful in pointing out logical inconsistencies (e.g. (http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/showpost.php?p=993207&postcount=4)).

I prefer American Taliban or rightwing terrorist.

[sam i am]

Santorum may not even run for re-election at this point.

Who would Casey be up against if he could run against the famous Nazi-basher Rick Santorum? :rolleyes: ;)

[SobaViolence]

I prefer American Taliban or rightwing terrorist.

up in canada, i can also just call someone american and get the same result...

[ToucanSpam]

"When you compare your political opponent to Hitler, it's insulting to you, it's insulting to your opponent, and to be truthful, it's insulting to Hitler. Hitler worked way too hard to be that evil to have every Tom, Dick and Harry compared to him." :D
