"State Department spokesman Sean McCormack did not repeat the comparison with Hitler on Friday but acknowledged U.S. concern about the way Venezuela is governed."
Sheesh.
There are many parallels between the various fascist states in Europe in the 1920s and 30s. But, it is true that the Nazis were an elected minority in their parliament. Hitler was chosen to be chancellor by President Hindenburg in a completely legal manner.
So, considering that the Bushites and radical Republicans clearly stole the 2000 presidential election, it is true that the Hitler/Bush comparison breaks down.
What I am going to investigate more is the fascist/Phalange govenment in the Spain of Francisco Franco. There was a fascist regime in alliance with the Roman Catholic Church. That is a parallel with the alliance today in our country between the Bushites and right-wing Catholics and Protestants.
