    This whole Hitler thing in the campaign has gone way too fair (for both sides).

    Shows how desperate the Bush government are to swing the voters minds. Hell, you know they'll probably swing the vote so they win again.

    I can't wait until the election is OVER and we can stop hearing about all of this. Man, I'm so sick of politics in this country.

    Would you want to be compared to Hitler?

    As much as I hate Bush, he's doing a good thing here. Comparing him to Hitler is ridiculous. Anyone who doesn't see that is blind.

    I think you missed the point.

    Back in January, MoveOn compared Hitler to Bush which pissed Bush off and MoveOn removed the ads.

    Now, the Bush campaign is comparing Kerry to Hitler and now refuses to remove the ads.

    You misread. :wth:

    The Bush campaign likened Kerry to Hitler, not the other way around. Kerry didn't do that to Bush.

    As Todd said, MoveOn.org, an anti-Bush website, held a contest where people could submit 30 second commercials about Bush. One of them likened Bush to Hitler. There is no link between Kerry and him saying Bush is like Kerry.

    So Bush is doing a good thing here by likening Kerry to Hitler, eh? :lol:

    Ah. I see. Okay.

    This is why I stay out of politics. I can never follow anything, even when there's an article right in front of me to read.

    The democrats did it, too. Why is it that no one here can ever put their biases aside and admit when both sides did something wrong? :mellow:

    MoveOn only removed the ads after a crapload of protest. I expect Bush to do the same thing, as stupid as it was to have the ads in the first place.

    The difference is, the democrats removed the ads because the Bush campaign didn't like them. Now, the Bush campaign is using the same concept with Hitler and wont remove them. Talk about hypocracy

    I was unaware that the Kerry administartion did that. I did know that MoveOn.org did it, but they have no link with the Kerry campaign other as voters.

    The democrats endorsed it, obviously.

    Todd: the democrats first said that they wouldn't remove it. And now the republicans are saying that they won't remove it as a first statement.

    And, for the record: neither Bush nor Kerry decide what ads are run and what ads aren't, but I'm sure they could if they wanted... but that's beside the point. The point is neither of them decide the ads, so blaming it on either of them is utterly asinine.

    But, the democrats DID remove it, the republicans aren't.

    I'd like to see a source where Kerry actually condones a Bush-Hitler link.

    And please, no links from Fox News. We all know Bush's first cousin John Ellis was a program director there, and that Fox News is a vital part of the Bush-Cheney campaign. Most biased news source ever.

    I don't know what FOX News you're watching, but the one I watch often condones Bush for the job he's doing.

    This ad sickens me, not entirely because of the Hitler incorporation. Really, there is no connection between the people shown in the ad (other than Bush, arguably), nor does the ad make any. It makes no comparisons what so ever. The people going around saying that this ad does make comparisons are misreading it in my mind. This ad is bashing the fact that the Dems. used such a comparison in their campaign. They then close the ad with "this is not a time for pessimism and rage, but for optimism, steady leadership, and progression." I'm about to hurl. That's right folks, nevermind all the f'd up #### bush has done, vote for him, and you'll get steady leadership, ie. assurance he'll keep on f'in up more stuff.

    The one I watch, which often features Bill O'Reilly, is most of the time a one-sided republican agenda promoting, democrat bashing, segment.
