Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, it actually does. Do we weep or laugh over an ad posted by Move On. Org, comparing George W. Bush to Hitler? The ad shows a series of pictures of Hitler speaking in German. Text on the screen reads as follows: "We have taken new measures to protect our homeland ... I believe I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator ... God told me to strike at al-Qaida and I struck them ... and then He instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did." "Sound familiar?" asks the text, to the sound of cheering Germans. If the anti-Bushies had a sense of humor this ad would not be funny because a joke has to have a grain of truth to be funny. But since the Left, at least the wing that swings with George Soros, really believes Bush to be like Hitler, this ad is quite funny. Thing is, the joke is on them. Here is George Soros, a survivor of Nazi Germany, playing the victim card: America, under Bush, is a danger to the world ... When I hear Bush say, 'You're either with us or against us,' it reminds me of the Germans ... My experiences under Nazi and Soviet rule have sensitized me. Does he mean the Germans of today who also hate Bush and compare him to their former leader? Just because Soros is a Jew doesn't mean he has to like Bush. No more do Jews have to be pro-Bush than a gay man like myself has to be pro-Dean or pro- Kucinich. I reject both. Yet, does Soros realize that no president before Bush has been more pro-Israel? Think about this for a minute. Here is a president who supports a nation whose founding was greatly facilitated by the worst calamity—the Holocaust—to befall the Jews in their long, great, and troubled history and the terrible memory of the perpetrator of that calamity is being used to smear that very president. Not only that, think of the terrible slap in the face to all those who died under Hitler when Bush, in direct contrast, just liberated millions from one of the worst tyrannies in history, whose reign of terror was inspired by Stalin. It just boggles the mind how such a comparison can be made whatever one's politics. Another irony, lost on the humorless Left, Bush reminds one of Truman: ornery, tough, middle-brow, aggressive, underestimated, and, mirable dictu, the American president who saw the clock strike midnight as Israel became a nation. On second thought, the ad is sad rather than funny. Besides, since when was Hitler funny outside of "Springtime for Hitler" anyway? I'd like to call this comparison by Move.On.Org the "Bush/Hitler Pact," whose nefarious juxtaposition will undermine the hysterical anti-war, anti-Bush league. |
