wait, I thought that was racism? I am confused now... I thought you could not do that...CONFUSED!

[Seruzawa]

The fools have never even tried to read Mein Kampf. Hitler’s book is virtually unreadable. I tried it twice but was defeated both times. The Last of the Mohicans is an easy read in comparison.

[DonaldC]

And we wonder why so many americans cannot recognize the real hitlers of the world.

Way off base. Fish’s piece was fair and balanced, particularly for the Times. He is obviously describing the reaction of the Strand Bookstore employee. Ever been to the Strand? Half of the female employees must belong to Code Pink.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

This paper needs to go bankrupt.

Gee, you know, when a book reviewer compares—in a shrewdly indirect fashion—a publication to “Mein Kampf” and potential readers of this publication of having “dubious taste and sensibility,” I just wanna run right out and buy a truck load of ‘em, don’t you?

You are thoroughly confused about what he was saying --it wasn't being SHREWD --he was making fun of the lefty employee

The NY Slimes is trying to link Sara with Hitler and the Washington Post's Slate.com yesterday tried a bizarre linking of Sara with anti-Semetism in a column written by Christopher Hitchens.

WaPo and NY Slimes hear Sara's footsteps and the result is shear panic.

Barry Goldwater was compared to Hitler by his detractors, as was Ronald Reagan. If Hitler was like Goldwater, Reagan, and Palin, then maybe he wasn’t such a bad guy, after all.

[Wee-Weed Up]

Liberals are just pissed off because they thought they ruined Sarah Palin when she resigned from the Alaska Governorship. Only to find out she’s doing better than ever. Just like a bunch of kids who cry when they don’t get what they want.

[MNDude]

didn’t Gibbs say “imagine if Bush was compared to Hitler”

[HerrBlucher]

Hitler was a Leftist and completely opposite, Goldwater, Palin, and Reagan.

[Huskrrrr]

Hitler killed every Downs child he could find (much as most Liberals do through abortion).

[Kells]

Way off base. Fish’s piece was fair and balanced, particularly for the Times. He is obviously describing the reaction of the Strand Bookstore employee.

Okay, but then how do you explain the Times linking Sara with Hitler in Frank Rich's article yesterday? Fish's review acknowledged that Sara was a strong candidate but also sounded like warning that she is some kind of threat.

[Kells]

Hitler killed every Downs child he could find (much as most Liberals do through abortion).

Liberals linking Sara with Hitler is a form of projection.

Simmer down. These things are getting silly. If you said that some people compare Palin to Hitler it wouldn’t mean that you were comparing Palin to Hitler. If that courtesy’s given to you, extend it to others.

[EricTheRed_VocalMinority]

Call me a cynic, but I think Fish was stealthily comparing Palin to Hitler by deflecting it onto the bookstore employee. Fish really wanted to say it; using the employee was just a tactic.

But that’s just me.

[TigersEye]

Liberals don’t deserve the time of day.

[uncbob]

Don’t know how you come to that conclusion even if you are a cynic

This is idiotic.

The reviewer, Stanley Fish, was mocking the ridiculous horror of the book store girl.

His review of Palin's book was actually well-written and positive.
