comparisons involving Nazi dictators

Bush is th Next Hitlor

The elegance of the famous rhetorical figure reductio ad hitlerum never fails to convince me (although this particular comparison must be an honest mistake: Bush doesn't even have one of those funny looking moustaches, yet).

A brief search on dnforum suggests there are already 48 threads involving Mr. Hitler.

I'd like to suggest a rule where any thread which includes comparisons to Nazi Dictators will be closed.

I disagree with you and agree that Bush is Hitler mascarating as a president. Only difference is Bush is getting away with it

Why aren't we allowed to talk about Hitler?

Of course he was a horrible man, but we must learn from the past, not ignore it.

I am glad to see so many ardent defenders of free speech. GiantDomains, I like your approach, and I will try to do like you suggested :biggrin:

@Beachie, regarding "Nazi Dictators"; I am trying not to get too much involved in this debate myself, but I am sure our friends in the politics section can come up with some useful suggestions.

Seems to me you know nothing about politics at all...

I thought that one first but than I realized there was also Mussolini in Italy.
