This Mother-Fucker is Still Around?

Demagoguery abounds in this guy's rhetoric. First, he wants us to believe that the Moron-in-Chief is akin to Winston Churchill. Dubya is no Winston Churchill--either in intellectual capacity nor in stature.

Second, he wants to to believe that the al-Qaeda is akin to Hitler. Yet, he fails to see that Hitler had a country, al-Qaeda is country-less. Hitler had a clear identifiable army, al-Qaeda has no such things. Hitler had an enormous military industry, al-Qaeda has no such thing and in fact is dependent on other states for its military goods. The differences are abundant.

Yet, this guy is talking like we are idiots.

Rumsfeld Lashes Out at Bush's Critics
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday the world faces "a new type of fascism" and likened critics of the Bush administration's war strategy to those who tried to appease the Nazis in the 1930s.

In unusually explicit terms, Rumsfeld portrayed the administration's critics as suffering from "moral or intellectual confusion" about what threatens the nation's security. His remarks amounted to one of his most pointed defenses of President Bush' war policies and was among his toughest attacks on Bush's critics.

Speaking to several thousand veterans at the American Legion's national convention, Rumsfeld recited what he called the lessons of history, including the failure to confront Hitler. He quoted Winston Churchill as observing that trying to accommodate Hitler was "a bit like feeding a crocodile, hoping it would eat you last."
