The whole stinking, socialist-state of MA is in bed with Chavez. I'd love to radio in coordinates for an airstrike!

You are showing your age, or, perhaps, your lack of moral discernment.

What do you mean? What I said was that too many people today don't have a full understanding of how genuinely evil Hitler and the Nazis were. In their minds, it's more of a cartoonish evil. They look at the Nazis as villains because of their uniforms and accents. And that's why they compare Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc. to the Nazis; because they don't realize how terrible the Nazis were.

And I'm not talking about EVERYone, it's mostly just the far-left Bush-haters. I didn't say Hitler WASN'T evil.

I just hope we realise who is behind Chavez, and why he is such a threat... The Kremlin and the Forbidden City.

True enough, but that is not what you said. You were disparaging Rummy's comparison to Chavez who is a profoundly evil man, easily capable of eclipsing Hitler.

No no no no no no no no no no no no!!!!!!!!

I was getting off that topic and into why it's so common to call people Hitler when you don't like them. I agree that Chavez is comparible to Hitler and the Nazis. In fact, if you read my very first post, I said I was glad that someone had the backbone to say it.

It's a complete misunderstanding. I humbly apologize.
