Statement Number One: "The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
Statement Number Two: "To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists, for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve."
The first statement is a quote from Hitler's right hand man, Hermann Goering, explaining at his war crimes trial how easily he and his fellow Nazis hijacked Germany's democratic government. The second statement is a quote from Bush's right hand man, John Ashcroft, defending the Patriot Act and explaining why dissent will no longer be tolerated in the age of terrorism.

You ask a question. Then in your infinite wisdom answer it with snotty partisanship. I actually thought the first statement was Hilary Clinton and/or Barbara Bauxer. The second statement I knew was from John Ashcroft and he said nothing about dissent being no longer tolerated. His statement makes great sense in light of the cherry-picking, leftist flame throwers.
