HuffPo Writer: At Least Hitler Meant Well--Unlike Bush

Just when you think the loony left can't get any more deranged and hateful toward George W. Bush, someone comes along and further lowers the bar.

Former Washington Post sportswriter, "Seinfeld" writer and executive co-producer Peter Mehlman did just that today in a Huffington Post article (h/t Ace) which said that President Bush is actually worse than Hitler because at least the German dictator meant well when he was trying to exterminate Jewish people.

The article has been removed and restored today from the HuffPo. Luckily, Yahoo has a copy which I reproduce here in full just in case someone yanks it from both sites. As is often the case with liberals, Mehlman is incapable of expressing himself without using profanity:

They sure have lost all sense of reality. And their obsession with a single person is stupid.

everyone from Helen Thomas on down

If Helen Thomas is at the top of your list, there's no point in reading on.

Still, the reader's comments kind of ripped the author.

[ripley]

just another lying, murdering, thieving socialist swine with no conscience. imho

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Don’t forget, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot also meant well, unlike those Eeeeeeevil Reagans and Bushes. /s

[syriacus]

If liberal FDR had removed Hitler from power, like Bush removed Saddam, millions of lives would have been saved.

Bush interrupted Saddam's return to international importance, which was being funded by the oil-for-food scandal and supported (at least passively) by world leaders and folks at the UN.

I didn't know Mehlman was involved in Leftist politics...
No wonder he's a hypochondriac...

[cubreporter]

Arianna is who I’d like to forget!

Cus’ she may not be seen as a scourge and an embarrassment to a lot of American-Greeks, but she is to This one!

And don’t even get me started on that Kos punk!

[BigEdLB]

Arianna?

Never been the same since her husband dicvorced her and declared he was gay...

Who wants that kind of a reputation?..

[joebuck]

He seems to be saying it’s OK to slaughter jews as long as your not hypocritical about it.

[joebuck]

your = you’re

[massgopguy]

Will they take away his baseball team?

[lowbridge]

So now we're six and a half years into Bush and everyone from Helen Thomas on down is declaring him the worst president ever.

Helen Thomas? Helen Thomas is the top of his heap?

“As long as these people continue to have disproportionate influence over the Democrat Party, we’re in good shape.

Their own hatred of Bush may well distract them from doing what they really need to do to win in 2008. We’ve already seen that in the Democrat debates, where it seemed like they think Bush is running for a third term.”

I think you hit it right. No one has been saying the dirty little secret: This is Bush’s last term. The dems ran on Bush Derangement Syndrome in November. They won’t have that in 2008.

Franz: You know, not many people knew it, but the Führer was a terrific dancer.
Max: Really? I never dreamed that...
Franz: (now shouting with rage) That is because you were taken in by that verdammte Allied propaganda! Such filthy lies! They told lies! But nobody ever said a bad word about Winston Churchill, did they? No! "Win with Winnie!" Churchill! With his cigars, with his brandy. And his ROTTEN painting! Rotten! Hitler, THERE was a painter! He count paint an entire apartment in one afternoon! TWO COATS! Churchill. He couldn't even say "Nazi". He would say "Nooooozeeehz, Nooooozeeehz!" It wasn't NOSES, it was NAZIS! Churchill!
Max: Exactly why...
Franz: Let me tell you THIS! And you're hearing this straight from the horse - Hitler was better looking than Churchill. He was a better dresser than Churchill. He had more hair! He told funnier jokes! And he could dance the PANTS off of Churchill!
Max Bialystock: Yes, yes! Churchill. That's exactly why we want to produce this play. To show the world the true Hitler, the Hitler you loved, the Hitler you knew, the Hitler with a song in his heart.

It sounds like he and Michael “Kramer” Richards would get along fine.

Just like Janet Reno “meant well” at Waco.

I before E, except after C.

If I can weigh in on this ... I before E except after C ... has always been a foreign concept to me.

I’d like to hear exactly what Abe Foxman has to say about this article...
