... A Very Anti W book....why did W let him in the WH? ...An interesting question, surely. And our President has a history of allowing hostile journalists privileged access, e.g. Pelosi's Journies with George (or something like that). Strangely, however, whenever the President allows such access, the portrait of him that emerges is always somehow strangely positive.
I had a similar thought. Why does he do it? Because he knows that the more the libs bash him and skew the facts to make him look bad, the more the people get sick of it. I think the last election is part of the proof of that.
I have no doubt that there were comparisons to a Hitler rally -- in the sense that they would be concerned with the visual similarity. In other words, it made them uncomfortable that it looked a little like Hitler and uncomfortable that some @sshole like Woodward would use the similarity to draw a negative comparison. Now, Woodward proves such concern to be legit.
