MoveOn.Org's Bush-Hitler Comparison Commercial 2
by MoveOn.Org
Monday Jan 12th, 2004 1:38 PM
You asked for it, you got it. Almost banished from the Internet to the Memory Hole, this amazingly accurate comparison proves to be too much for wimpy Democratic front-group MoveOn.org. The question of taste aside, it's the MEME that's important...never again?

The Simon Wiesenthal Center and the ADL act as if they are the sole owner of WWII history and its tyrants. The atrocities of WWII are HUMAN HISTORY, and NOT some intellectual property of the loudest Jewish voice. The lesson is not one of "Jews have been persecuted, so you need our permission to mention Hitler--or else." Rather, WWII is a history lesson for all people in the dangers of fascism, and the methods such as fear and terror that fascists use to manipulate the masses.

By suppressing valid comparisons to the darker side of human history, the Simon Wiesenthal Center and ADL denigrate the memory of all who died in WWII, by helping to allow such historical atrocities to repeat themselves.
