Bush Plays the Hitler Card (by Pat Buchanan - sickening!)
Townhall.com ^ | May 20, 2008 | Patrick J. Buchanan

Posted on 05/20/2008 12:59:30 PM PDT by EveningStar

"A little learning is a dangerous thing," wrote Alexander Pope.

Daily, our 43rd president testifies to Pope's point.

Addressing the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel's birth, Bush said those who say we should negotiate with Iran or Hamas are like the fools who said we should negotiate with Adolf Hitler.

Bush Plays the Hitler Card

I would think that would increase Pat's admiration of Bush, not repel him.

Playing the “Hitler card” means comparing someone to Hitler. Bush played the “Chamberlain card” (and he was justified to do so).

How can someone who can write so many brilliant columns on domestic matters such as cultural issues and sovereignty, write such imbecilic drivel on foreign policy issues? Buchanan almost reached Paul Craig Roberts levels of anti-Semitism and inanity on this one.

"But did not Ronald Reagan's negotiations with the Evil Empire, as he rebuilt America's military might, bear fruit in a reversal of Moscow's imperial policy and an end to the Cold War?"

Batty Patty fails to grasp the Islamist mindset, as usual. The Russians could be dealt with through negotiation because, as wrong as they were ideologically, they were/are a sane people.

Those who believe in returning 12th Imams and dozens of virgins waiting for them in heaven for killing "infidels" are most certainly not sane by any measure.

ROFL.

Is Herr Obergruppenfeurer Buchanan actually attempting to compare Achmadinejad with Gorbie ... and Cho en Lai?

Not to mention his statement that Hitler didn't want to invade Poland? Really??? Maybe he should read The Rise & Fall of the Third Reich rather than simply morn it's demise, attempting, in his own demented way, to sanitize Hitler's Germany along the way.

"A little learning is a dangerous thing"

The relevance of that phrase has rarely been so well demonstrated as in this puerile drivel from Pat Buchanan. PB knows just enough to be dangerous, and not enough to really understand anything.

Hitler didn't merely want the Sudetenland and Danzig, he had set about upending the entire basis for peace and order in central Europe. He also rolled into Austria by force, in case Pat didn't know that. He also militarized the "Rhineland" territory that was supposed to remain de-militarized in order to avoid another World War (THAT was the point at which the western allies should have acted, but they were too weak-minded ala Obambi and "Popular Front" b.s. -- so they thought they could continue to talk, talk, talk while Nazi Germany grew stronger).

Hitler also rolled into the main NON-GERMAN parts of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, proving to even the dimmest appeasement-mongers (but not good enough for Pat Buchanan) that Hitler was up to FAR more than simply claiming a "greater Germany" out of German-speaking territories.

Pat Buchanan is an incompetent, ignorant fool.

"The Czechoslovak Republic was destroyed after Germany invaded it in March 1939, and annexed the Czech region into the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, a subsection of the Nazis' Greater Germany, while most of the Slovak region became part of the German puppet state called the Slovak Republic, and all of Subcarpathian Ruthenia together with small parts of Rusyn inhabited north-eastern Slovakia was submitted to Hungary."

Well, for one, Buchanan implies that if Poland had merely given Hitler Danzig, WWII would likely not have occured.

Bush's father negotiated with Syria's Hafez al-Assad, the Butcher of Hama, and made him an American ally in the Gulf War. Was President Bush's father a deluded fool?

Absolutely he was. George H. W. Bush left Saddam Hussein in power because he couldn't get permission to remove him from the UN and Arab allies like Assad. He subjected US foreign policy to a Kerryesque "global test" and ensured that Saddam Hussein would remain in power for 12 more years, plotting revenge against us and giving safe haven to our terrorist enemies. George H. W. Bush sold out America's interests for his globalist "new world order" and left a huge mess for his son to clean up.

Apparently your question has been answered. It was, in fact, answered before you launched, but has been answered and re-answered several times since.

Since Buchanan views Hitler "as a man of great courage", we argue his point, while understanding that he is, in fact an anti-Semite. Sorry if that bothers you.

I wonder, too, how Buchanan can write good columns sometimes, and awful ones at other times. The only hint I can find is that he also writes for “The Wanderer” a German Catholic newspaper out of Minnesota. They are the same way. On some Church matters they are brilliant and at other times they are not, like the current essay about why the Vatican wants us to get rid of Capitalism! I don’t read Buchanan’s column in the Wanderer because everyone else who writes for the paper is an “America Firster”. If anyone can figure it out, let me know.

Read the (entire) article then read the posts. Although I am not in total agreement with Buchanan, the "ignorant, babbling fool" moniker would appear to apply more to the posts than the article.

Buchanan has a forthcoming book, “Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War” in which he claims (”argues” would give Buchanan too much credit) that Britain’s decision to fight Hitler over Poland ended up costing the West fifty years of Soviet domination over Eastern and Central Europe and the Balkans.

In a nutshell, Buchanan claims that Hitler would have stopped at Poland if only the British hadn’t declared war. So, Pat, what about other historical claims by Germany to parts of Czechoslovakia, France, etc?

I did read the article, thank you. While I never could endorse every post on FR, I am not discussing other posts, I am talking about the (very low) quality of Pat Buchanan’s “thought” and not what any particular FReepers may say about him.

Look, to write about the Danzig and Sudetenland issues without even acknowledgement that Hitler himself PROVED he was up to much more than simply uniting German-speakers with the Fatherland is preposterous (naturally PB fails to interest himself in the fates of all the millions, both German-speakers, and non-German speakers, who did NOT want to be absorbed into Hitler’s Germany). To fail to confront the fact that Hitler invaded and annexed Czechoslovakia far beyond the Sudetenland in March 1939 proves that PB is either too ignorant or too dishonest (or both) to be taken seriously.

PB tries to pretend that “oh, if only they’d given Hitler the Sudetenland and Danzig, there would have been no WWII”

The March 1939 invasion of Czechoslovakia proves how idiotic PB’s position is, so of course he does not confront that obvious stunning counter-example.

The 1930s “appeasers” at least had the excuse that they could (pretend to) not see what Hitler was up to, even though he had laid it out in “Mein Kampf” and Churchill had discussed it extensively in his writings and speeches. PB has NO EXCUSE after the fact for being such a pitiful appeasement-monkey and ignoring major facts such as the fate of Czechoslovakia AFTER they’d already given up the Sudetenland.

Is PB dishonest or incompetent? Take your pick..... I’ll say both.

See my post #39 and decide for yourself if Buchanan is competent to write about history. His claim in the forthcoming book is essentially an apology for Hitler and Nazi Germany.
