Wis. prof compares Bush to Hitler
October 11, 2006
MILWAUKEE -- A University of Wisconsin instructor who has come under scrutiny for saying that the U.S. government orchestrated the Sept. 11 attacks compares President Bush to Adolf Hitler in an essay that his students are being required to buy.
The essay, ''Interpreting the Unspeakable: The Myth of 9/11,'' is part of a $20 book of essays, according to an unedited copy.
The book is on the syllabus for the twice-a-week course, Islam: Religion and Culture, being taught by part-time instructor Kevin Barrett.
Barrett is active in a group called Scholars for 9/11 Truth, whose members say U.S. officials, not al-Qaida terrorists, were behind the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
''Like Bush and the neocons, Hitler and the Nazis inaugurated their new era by destroying an architectural monument and blaming its destruction on their designated enemies,'' he wrote.
Barrett said he was comparing the attacks to the burning of the German parliament building, the Reichstag, in 1933.

That's expensive toilet paper.
Say, does this nimrod know about Godwin's Law?
Talk about as*wipe! You hit it!
My daughter is applying to colleges right now. The cost of a college education is outrageous. They need to fire these idiots. I'm betting that if they did that, the quality of education would increase, and the cost would decline.
Yawn... that is so yesterday...
Can we try Mussolini or Genghis Khan?

Is he one of those guys who compares Bush to Hitler and yet also claims the Holocaust never happened?
It's tough to maintain one's place on the cutting edge of conformity.
No, I don´t think he´s from Iran.
You would think the nutjob professor would have come up with something a bit more original?
I would think a prof would be intelligent enough to come up with something original but I guess not.
Let me guess this prof's encore: Bush = stupid
Yawn.
They cannot make up their minds if Bush is Hitler or Satan... but, wait they don't believe in Satan, do they?
Once they've exhausted hyperbole, the next step is violence. I think we're already seeing that.
"taught by part-time instructor Kevin Barrett."
Excuse me Mr. Part-Time Professor Big Shot, but I asked for a Venti Latte. Make it again.
"My daughter is applying to colleges right now."
If I was a parent of a kid attending this nut ball's class I would not be spending twenty bucks on this toilet paper.
Why is this news?
"Leftist professor compares Bush to Jesus Christ" -- THAT'S NEWS.
