Comparing Bush to Hitler is a great attention getter, does not require intelligence, and cuts off any serious discussion about the Bush administration's foreign policy. It, however, waters down the true evil and horror of Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Party, and the Final Solution. Nothing today can compare with nearly six million Jews that were liquidated by the Nazis and the 50 million people, soldiers and civilians, who died in Europe as a result of Adolf Hitler.
I highly doubt that Bush's IQ is 191 or that he is any way similar to Gandhi; non-violent means. Regarding Ronald Reagan, many conservatives have been complaining that Bush strayed from policies of Reagan with his compassionate conservative rhetoric. I do see the similarity in Reagan's confrontation with communism and the war against radical Islam. I don't think the West will be able to negotiate with al-Qaeda like Reagan did with the Soviets. This current war will take decades to win.

You demonstrate your ignorance of European history if you are minded to say that Hitler was a left winger. I won't enlighten you further on this point but just to say that much has been written on the subject and I suggest you start with 'Mein Kampf' which will categorically put you assertion to rest.
On the Hitler thing, well I can see the reason why. If a man acts against a people basically because of their religion and race (as Hitler did) then the comparison is valid. I will just draw you to another fact of History.
During the 60s, 70s, 80s, and early 90s (nearly 40 years), a White, Christian (Catholic) organisation called the IRA, were bombing and killing several thousands (over 5000) of people to death in N. Ireland and mainland UK. (I was working in England during some of the time), and the best efforts of the British army could not deter them. They used to detonante bombs in Malls, schools etc. The Governments of UK and USA did not feel they had to restrict the freedoms of the populus to try and deal with these White terrorists, as they were called. No Patriot Act or Identity Card system as proposed by the UK. The troubles came to an end by the process of negotiation between the UK government and the IRA Terrorists and the enigma of a certain US President Clinton, a Democrat. Do you really believe Bush would have that much influence anywhere in the world.
You see, the actions of the USA and the UK, post 9/11 makes people like me who study history extremely dubious as to the reasons for all the curtailment of our Freedoms. There has to be something else behind it. Bush and Blair's actions are Racist in the extreme and this is the reason they will never get my support.
The IRA by the way, were substantially funded by sympathisers in the USA. Terrorism is not a new thing or idea. Spain have been dealing with their ETA terrorists for several generations. The response to these Spanish terrorists were to haunt them down and kill them, NOT to restrict every Spaniard.
I won't comment on Bush helping Black Kids who can't read because that is too simplistic for comment. I frankly DO NOT believe you when you say he has an IQ of 191. This is another fraudulent claim that the Supreme Court might have to rule over.
In conclusion, White terrorists are no better or worse than Arab terrorists, Black Terrorists, Korean Terrorists, or Conservative terrorists, who achieve the same results by restricting my rights as a Free Honest Tax paying citizen.

Putting Bush in the same boat with Hitler is a little rash. I'm an independent, but I am liberal in my philosophies. Bush shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Ghandi though. Ghandi was all about peaceful demonstration against tyranny and government he didn't approve of; while Bush made a preemptive strike to begin a war with a poor basis for beginning. Bush wasn't much like Reagan either; Reagan did a great job by keeping us out of war with his own very personal touch to diplomacy. Bush never deals personally with leaders that he doesn't agree with, that's Condi's job, for that matter he doesn't speak to crowds that might not like him. I can't actually think of one time that Bush has directly interacted with any group of people that might not tell him what he wants to hear, or make him feel negative pressures; he's kinda like a one man pep rally, or a delicate fabrege' egg that cannot be subjected directly to criticism. I don't recall seeing him at the 9/11 commission hearings, the intellegence officer leak probe, or any other bipartisan probes into scandal. The only time he was on his own was during the Presidential candidate debates, and then he had a earpiece telling him what to say.

Uhhh, I agree that its stupid but I don't think the Gandhi reference is right on. Bush isn't like Hitler or Gandhi, you could compare him to Reagan but hes not the same.
Hitler was definatly not a left-winger, he was a totalitarian, which would be considered extreme right wing. A perfect communism would be a extreme left wing, if I'm correct.
But liberals compare Bush to Hitler because they are ignorant. They are not stupid, its just they don't look at all the facts. They see that Bush is at war with two countries and he is limiting some rights or freedoms to privacy.
I mean it would be just as bad to glorify Bush, wouldn't it? I'm a Bush supported but I too admit he could have done better, he didn't seem to do the best job he could, and he hasn't communicated well with the American public.
Edit: Just read Parashooter's post and I'm offended. How can someone talk about bigitism and knowing me when they themselves hate a certain political party that much. There was great anger in that awnser and it almost proves my point. Ignorance is the awnser, Para has proven it.

Is his IQ of 191 on "Hooked on Phonics?" Please if you are going to equate a great leader with a great leader, don't compare apples with oranges. Ghandi was a leader of nonviolent civil disobedience; Bush uses violence to get his democracy spread. Are we to rid the world of all of its bad leaders? That would mean to conquer 90% of the world . I think that doctrine is what is contained in the communist's phylosophies. The Iraqi war has generated more amputees than any other war.A war on terror can never be won. We can't afford this. Osama Bin Laudin is a Saudi;not an Iraqi(oops). Oh that's right, they(the Saudis) own approx 7% of the United States.Darn! Now the ravages of the ugly . A young woman being raped and her immediate family killed by whom? Why it was an American soldier with his buddies. What is the plan? Every war has a plan. Not this one. What do you tell a boy with no arms and legs? Yeah Bush is like Ghandi. How many people did Ghandi kill? Supprt the troops, but not the war. This is tragic.

You sound like a paid political puppet, but not an especially articulate or knowledgeable one. Are they scraping the bottom of the barrow to come up with people like you?
Gandhi was a pure pacifist, refusing to hurt anyone to win freedom for India.
Bush claims to champion Democracy and at the same time has a close family friendship with the dictatorship in Saudi Arabia and close business ties with the dictatorship in Angola. At the same time he opposes the freely elected president of Venezuela.
Bush's IQ has been rated at 92 to 95, about the national average but hardly a brain.
Hitler stole from the poor, shut down small businesses and let a few hand-selected make and control all the money in Germany.
Take your lies to some place where someone might actually believe them.

Bush may care about the people around the world, but he sure doesn't spend one minute a day worrying about all those American kids that are riding around in Iraq getting blown up.
Proud to be a demonstrator against this Iraq War before it started. But Bush and you didn't care enough to ask any questions before invading the people who invented the ambush.
To bad the ones that came up with this idea aren't the ones dying because of it. I bet the Iraq War would have been over by now if only the neo-cons would do the fighting.
Face it, this war is lost, and you didn't learn anything, again.

Both are so close...
Hitler took Swastika sign from Buddhist countries, after his visit to some holly places.
Hitler believed he had given freedom and best rule to countries he occupied.
Hitler cared much of good disadvantaged people too (according to his understanding), poverty diminished in Germany; (IQ if measured by Nazis would be not less 191). LOL. Some Bush things really indicate 191....

I have never seen Bush compared to Hitler. Bush is no racist....And Hitler was no left winger.
I guess the main problem I have with Bush is that he and his dad, are globalists. They want to be part of a one world order, which we already see happening in Europe.
I think that is very dangerous, because it will take away our freedoms and our sovereignty....We will lose our place in the world that we have worked so hard accomplish, our ideals and values will change, because we will no longer be independent.
That's what I don't like about Bush....However, I think who ever gets into office will also want to implement this insidious plan...

Because liberals don't know the definition of fascist and are ignorant and enjoy insulting the genocide of millions of people in Europe a little over 60 years ago just so they can show their faint political views. What it boils down to is people don't think and they use terms to lightly for example jokingly comparing someone to a fascist or a Nazi not realizing exactly what they're doing or saying then everyone does it sooner or later they make the same mistakes of the past because they forget because of some individual's ignorance a long time ago.
