10. Hitler didn't magically appear in 1939
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 02:34 PM by jpgray
He had to build up to his atrocities, and aspects of that buildup viewed in isolation can be compared to our present situation. Most of his propaganda techniques are in use by the current administration, and the consolidation of media and scapegoating of shadowy "outsider" figures for the nation's problems are straight out of the Goebbels' playbook. To say "but x didn't gas six million Jews" in an attempt to write off an otherwise valid comparison is lazy, irresponsible thinking. And Ted's point is not that Fox News = Hitler, it's that something which is popular in a country isn't necessarily good for that country.
