supergeeI'm not a hard-core Godwinite, but I do oppose promiscuous comparisons to Hitler and the Nazis. So back in 1992, when Molly Ivins said that a Pat Buchanan speech "probably sounded better in the original German," I thought it was a slip from her usual high standards.
If she wasn't right then, though, Buchanan has since lived down to her words. For instance, he said that Hitler wouldn't have killed all those Jews if America had heeded the wisdom of Charles Lindbergh and stayed out of World War II.
It should be pointed out in Mr. Buchanan's defense that he does not make invidious distinctions among Semites. Look what those nasty Muslims made Anders Breivik do.
Thanx to Mercury Rising.
