Thanks for the replies, everyone.



I tried to post this on the CBC website following the June 10 speech, but was repeatedly denied by the moderators. Apparently it is taboo to compare Harper with Hitler.

Non-smoking, non-drinking, eco-green, eugenics fan/lebensraum loving, corporatist, totalitarian, double talking, triple thinking, lunatic, Adolph Hitler, is the patron saint of modern politics.

the big lie

One must never bring up Hitler in a reasonable discussion of modern day politics because Hitler was just so so "not nice" and in Nicy Nice Land people who are bad are never as bad as Hitler because Hitler is the property of Holocaust victims and their descendants and is only whispered about behind closed doors unless Holocaust victims or their descendants want to bring him up in conversation but even they don't do it very often because in modern politics Hitler is just so beyond any atrocity or perversion of foreign policy that tiny little devils like us could come up with that we never talk about him except to say . . . nothing pertinent.Wake up people. The Germans were the architects of the twentieth century. The Americans may have walked away with all the goodies but the Germans built just about everything we have and our ways of living in the modern world, from scratch.Everything he did is being donetoday, somewhere in the world.We're all frogs in a big fascist stewpot that is slowly being raised in temperature.Memo to the CBC:My Dad fought in WW2, in a unit that had a 50% casualty rate and he hardly ever talked about the war, except to say that it was fun if you didn't get hurt.(In fairness, hetalking to a twelve year old boy.)I'm only a descendant but if I feel a Hitler comparison is pertinent, I'm damn well gonna make it. And that is not an attempt to run down victims of the Holocaust or their relatives, but in this society others have a right to bring the subject of Hitler up. Hitler didn't start out exterminating millions of people. Modern politicians make use of one of Hitler's most potent political weapons,Has Harper told us the truth about Afghanistan? Has he told us the truth about Libya? Has he told us the truth about G20 spending?People bring up Hitler in conversation because he is the prime example of so many types of fascist behavior.A lot of people have the right to bring the name of Hitler into a conversation, not just Holocaust victims.
