I didn't at all say that I'm looking at this as a strictly academic endeavor. Quit putting words in my mouth. I'm saying that there are many similarities that we should take very seriously if we want to prevent a repeat of what happened under Hitler. Can you see a difference between that and simply "lambasting" someone?
People SHOULD think of the death camps when they think of Bush. How many people do you think we've killed at Guantanamo and other of our detention facilities around the world, where we hold and torture thousands of people without even bringing charges against them? Our CIA goes around the world kidnapping people and taking them to those places. You don't see a similarity between that and the storm troopers you mention?
You talk about how weak politicaly Bush is. What does a low approval rating mean when he's able to unilateraly nullify any law he chooses with a signing statement, he refuses to cooperate with Congressional efforts to investigate his crimes, he nullifies the prison sentence of one of his administration's major players in order to further cover up his crimes, he illegally orders his justice department not to investigate contempt charges against his administration, he continues to violate our constitutional rights, he continues a war that the good majority of the American people are against, and he continues to "stand behind" an Attorney General who is not attorney general at all, but only a corrupt extension of the Bush administration itself?
