The article is the worst sort of vile spew, but I agree with you that people should read it to clearly see and understand the depth of evil that resides on the other side.

www.realclearpolitics.com is running it as a featured piece with a special request to readers to reply to Greeley's editor...something I took the time to do.

Becaues it was just anti protestan bigotry by this so called priest. He very explicitly compared Hitler and German Naziism to American Protestant Fundamentalism.

We really don't need to read that kind of trash on a day like today. We know what how trashy people on the left are. I really don't need to see the millionth example.

Priest smarter than Fr. Andrew Greeley:

:)

Let's see:

Hitler did the following:

Instituted gun control
Nationalized industries
Thought the wealthy were evil
Banned free speech and freedom of the press
Did not debate his enemies but destroyed them
Believed that all loyalty should go to the state
That religion and the church was for fools
That people should be judged on how they look and not on merit or achievement
Fully supported abortion, euthenasia and sterilization etc.

Now which party or presidential candidate does that sound like?????

"Can this model be useful to understand how contemporary America is engaged in a criminally unjust war that has turned much of the world against it, a war in which torture and murder have become routine?"

Anyone making such baseless accusations and comparing the present administration to the Nazis is not worthwhile.

Greeley is a Catholic priest, Professor of Sociology, and raving lunatic leftist.

This was a worthy thread.

Worthy of what. Comparisons to the US to NAZI Germany isn't worthy of anything. There is not one ounce of intellectual honesty in such a looney comparison. I guess you could wipe yourself with the paper it was printed on.

[Always Right]

OK, you have over a dozen a comments and you have not stated what was so 'worthy' about the article. I really have no use for people who use Hitler to seriously discuss the United States, whether it be Clinton or Bush as President. The arguement is just bankrupt rhetoric at its worst.

[PhiKapMom]

There was nothing worthy about the read and you should be ashamed for posting this crap on this Friday of Pres Reagan's Memorial Service.

Obviously a Conservative Republican would not have posted this kind of nonsense!

[11th Earl of Mar]

Because the forum is getting over-moderated.

Threads exposing liberals and their wacky views are starting to get pulled faster from FR than they ever have been.

The way its going, you will soon be able to post editorials only from "approved" columnists.

What are the mods scared of?

I knew someone who met him... he said greeley was a bit manic. Much of Greeley's work is good, but as he gets older, he is getting weirder.

As a doc, I note that people's personalities get stuck in a rut, and then exaggerate as they get older. So mildly paranoid people start seeing conspiracies, and sweet people stay nice even when their brain is destroyed by Alzheimer's.

Greeley seems to be going off the deep end. And personally, I like his "soft porn"...

[b4its2late]

I didn't read it, but my guess is that it probably sucked.
