That explains quite a lot.<br /><br />I personally don't get my panties in a bunch over the use of the word holocaust. It isn't exactly comparable to picturing a president as Hitler. There has only been one Hitler.<br /><br />The word holocaust has a meaning and there have been many holocausts in history (trans-atlantic slave trade, indigenous genocides all over...) It didn't bother me when Grayson said it. It doesn't bother me when pro-life people say it. <br /><br />And I grew up Jewish and had family who died in camps.<br /><br />My b-friend agrees with you though. Says it's like how nobody can ever wear a Hitler mustache ever again.Broadsnarkhttp://www.broadsnark.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494384.post-76053764686538749152009-10-03T18:48:52.473-05:002009-10-03T18:48:52.473-05:00I'd just like to know where this Grayson guy h...I'd just like to know where this Grayson guy has been hiding until now. He was sworn in last January (1st termer) - has he been hiding under a desk until now?<br /><br />I also recommend a look at <a href="http://grayson.house.gov/about/index.shtml" rel="nofollow">his biography</a>. It's quite impressive and everything he has in life, he worked hard for.<br /><br />In fact, he's the polar opposite of the hereditary aristocracy on the right which claims to be the champion of Horatio Alger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494384.post-66242638467559607642009-10-02T01:30:03.021-05:002009-10-02T01:30:03.021-05:00"...we on the Right would not be uising these..."<i>...we on the Right would not be uising these refrences on Obama and the democrats if they hadn't used it so freely on us.</i>"<br /><br />I definitely can't agree with that. First off, that's exactly what these libs are saying, ie, they're just returning fire because conservatives started it. And while the Bush=Hitler thing clearly came before the Obama=Hitler thing, there's always <i>some</i> fight that preceded it which the other side insists is the reason they're being so ruthless. Overall, they're just looking to rationalize their smears by saying the other side started it first. Typical juvenile behavior. And the adult knows that neither side is right and to ignore the smears.<br /><br />And beyond the obvious reason for not engaging in this sort of behavior (common decency), these attacks never convince anyone of anything and generally make whoever's saying it look worse. That's why I kept trying (in futility) to stop the Bush=Hitler thing. It might make you feel better, but it seriously damages your credibility. That's why I support the Obama=Hitler stuff. No reasonable person would ever make that connection, and it only makes the people who say it look unreasonable.<br /><br />As for what "we on the right" do, I spent too much time arguing with conservatives on Usenet during the 90's to believe that this has <i>anything</i> to do with what people said of Bush. Clinton was a murderer. Clinton was a Soviet spy. Clinton raped women. These days, nobody would be foolish enough to suggest this stuff, but back in the day, these were all hard facts which explained why Clinton needed to be impeached. And during the Bush years, many libs thought it was payback time and that we were fools if we didn't treat Bush like they treated Clinton. <br /><br />Meanwhile, I remained consistent the whole time. But that's just because I play to win and these arguments are for losers. No one has ever won a debate by calling their opponent Hitler. <br /><br />But anyway, it's good to see someone on the right saying the same thing. These days, it's not Right v. Left; it's Sane v. Insane, and too often, I feel like we're losing.Doctor Biobrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641661532899934766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494384.post-62444935238437491972009-10-02T01:05:08.698-05:002009-10-02T01:05:08.698-05:00Dr. Biobrain,
