CBS TV Star Compares America to Nazi Germany

David Clennon, star of the hit CBS television series "The Agency," said Monday that the "moral climate" of America under President Bush is similar to that which pervaded Nazi Germany. Then, apparently not satisfied with merely insulting the U.S., Clennon contended that the only difference between Bush and Adolf Hitler is that Hitler was smarter.

"I'm saying that the moral climate within the ruling class in this country is not that different from the moral climate within the ruling class of Hitler's Germany," Clennon told nationally syndicated radio host Sean Hannity.

When Hannity asked if Clennon was comparing the U.S. president to the Nazi leader, the CBS star replied, "I'm not comparing Bush to Adolf Hitler - because George Bush, for one thing, is not as smart as Adolf Hitler. And secondly George Bush has much more power than Adolf Hitler ever had."

The Hollywood peacenik said he was concerned that his own TV show had become a propaganda tool for the Bush administration's plans to make war on Iraq.

"I'm saying that we (Americans) have sunk pretty low and I'm saying that you can look at the moral climate in Germany in 1933," Clennon reiterated. "We have to ask ourselves if we found ourselves in Nazi Germany, what would we do?" he added. "Now I say, let the inspection process take its course."

Hannity told the actor that he couldn't wait to get a tape recording of his comments to Clennon's producers at the Tiffany network.

David who?

[kattracks]

Actor James Woods, who was driving in his car and heard this excange between Hannity and Clennon, called in and joined the arguement, questioning Clennon and forcefully rebutting him.

Until this moment I had never heard of this person and I prefer to keep it that way.

IMHO, TYPICAL LIBERAL MORON...Maybe he should work for N. Koreas' KIM...a workers' paradise....A$$O :(

The stupidity of some people is just amazing. I wish that everyone one of these Hollywood idiots could be forced to live a year in Hitler's Germany or Castro's Cuba.

[Rocky]

What a jerk. I hope they fire him from the show. These Hollywood airheads have no sense of proportion or perspective.

Oh, that's AMAZING!

I am in San Francisco, and we don't hear the second hour of Hannity until 9pm. When an earlier thread touted how Sean had rhetorically whacked Clennon, I said that I had a hard time believing it could have been better than when some feminist peacenik crumbled under her own ignorance on the show.

How wrong I was. One of the things that made the interview with the feminist peacenik hilarious was when she referred to homeland security plans as "fascist." Sean and competing debater David Horowitz asked the feminist if she was implying that Bush was a fascist. She at least had the good sense not to say "yes," instead talking about erosion of civil rights. I can't believe Clennon actually said that, and went even further.

And this guy thinks he's going to continue on a show about the CIA. It's hard to know what the netheads are thinking, but my suspicion is that this dude better call his agent and dust off those 8 x 11 glossies.

David Clennon? Who? Who cares?

[exnavy]

I know, that's kinda what I meant. LOL

I just love this! Exellent post!

Leave it someone from Hollywood to tell us how low our morals have sunk. I'm making a poster out of this!

[smith288]

I do because its exposing the very dangerous liberal left like streisand and others for what they are. Abusers of the american way and motivated not by peace, but by their ability to access the Lincoln bedroom. Right now, they cant get a night in there with a moral president...they need their billy bob or lesbian clinton.

I'd never heard of this gigantic anal orifice before either.
