Howard Stern said today that America used chemical weapons in Vietnam when he was attacking Spicer.
He is facing a hostile press every day. That's the nature of representing a Republican administration. If you aren't very quick and very sharp, you aren't qualified.
He simply isn't smart enough
No.
The Hitler comment was not dumb.
It amazingly and outlandishly STUPID.
It was so bloody stupid that even Trump couldn’t brazen it out or double down on it and make the media scream.
And Spicer should know by now that there is a double standard for conservatives.
Sean Spicer was obviously told to vilify Assad, and he went way over the top. What bothered me is that he said Assad is worse than Hitler. Assad protects Christians and other minorities in Syria; Hitler killed every minority he could.
There is NEVER any reason for anyone involved in PR to mention Hitler. It is walking straight into a minefield. Even if your point is valid, it’s not worth it.
In the future Sean should obey Godwin’s Law and should stay away from analogies. More often than not, analogies come back to bite you unless you have really thought them through from all angles.
Trump should let Spicer stay as long as he wants and say whatever he wants. I want to see someone from the press corps head explode. Let the media spend their day talking about Sean Spicer. Trump talks to the people via Twitter. The press hates Spicer.....which is why we need more Spicer.
When talking to people who hate you and will twist what you say to fit any narrative they want to push, who cares what is said.
T-Rex is talking with the Ruskies, China leaning on NK and the boarder Welcome Wall might not be needed because Sessions is going to enforce the law. I could not have imagined the administration would be going so well. Obamacare, political theater. DJT will ride in as the dealmaker and the two sides, who needed to stake out their positions to appease folks at home, will come together and actually get something done. And the Judge.....we got the judge. Maybe more.
Mega MAGA.
Chemical weapons (gas) was use in WW I by both sided
Adolf Hitler has World War 1 Soldier was gassed
Adolf Hitler did not use chemical weapons as a military women in combat during WW II in part do to his experience in the WW I
Spicer’s comment was about the truth that Hitler did not use chemical weapons in military combat during World War II
So to the demagogues that are attacking Spicer for stating a simple historical fact
Are you equating Hitler being a gas victim in combat during WWI with being Holocaust victim?
Who would be? I’ve watched a lot of press briefings and like Spicer.
The media frenzy at White House briefings is total and outrageous every day. Spicer has maintained a cool demeanor in spite of hellacious attacks every day.
He is able to clarify the Trump doctrine in the face of deep-seated hatred and verbal violence.
A most thankless job that no one should have to tolerate for more than a few months. If anything Spicer is much too nice for the job.
If anything the WH should just shut down the WH press briefings.
What the hell has that got to do with anything? Agent Orange was a defoliant. It was not deliberately used to murder innocents; that it had unintended consequences is another subject.
Howard Stern’s a moron as are some of my Facebook friends. They’re all passing this bit of Hate America idiocy around. I’m surprised a freeper would pick it up.
The man was clearly saying that Hitler didn’t use it on the allies. He was not thinking of the concentration camps.
Does Dan Calabrese know he’s writing for something called ‘Canada Free Press’?
I agree. Sean should be getting combat pay for having to put up with them and their antics.
Spicer probably has a good heart, but he said something stupid.
Folks should know better than to compare some villain to this mass-murdering villain or that.
Every villain should stand alone on his misdeeds.
Problem for Spicer is that Assad is no worse (and probably slightly better) than whoever we think are the ‘good guys’ in Syria.
One of the reasons we should stay out of Syria is that there are no ‘good guys.’ They are all nasty pieces of work. Maybe the Kurds, but that will PO Turkey.
In general, in the ME, a fascist is better than an Islamist. Kind of a sad comment on the region.
He is a moron.
He may have said something stupid, but he took the “Trump is Hitler” option of the table.
Sean Spicer should have said:
“Hilter only used gas on the Jews, not on his own people like Assad. But that is not to say that Assad wouldn’t gas the Jews, too.”
