I really thought things could not get much worse... I thought GWB had done it all and stooped as low as it goes..
Oh, how wrong I was...
"Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along," Bush said. "We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: "Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.
"We have an obligation to call this what it is - the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."
U.S. President George W. Bush's speech to the Israeli parliament 5/15/08
Bush today broke all the rules of protocol. In front of the Israeli Knesset he said that Obama and the other democrats who want some form of diplomacy instead of the constant saber rattling and arrogance of the bush years... he called them the same as Nazi sympathizers before world war II.
He broke the unwritten rules about talking about US politics in front of foreign audiences.
He broke the long standing protocols against a sitting presidents using their office to partisan ends in the election of their successor.
But worst of all he broke Godwin's Law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies)
"As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."
No rational discussion or measured discourse is possible once Godwin's law is breached.
What a maroon.
