Apparently, Bush still hasn't been compared to:
Pol Pot
Mugabe
Castro
Nero
Caligula
Attila the Hun
Vlad the Impaler
Napoleon
...

You left out Mim the Merciless, Dr. Lizardo, and Darth Sidious.

....

Google before you post. I won't swear to all the others, but I picked one at random and googled "George Bush" and "Darth Sidious" and got a bunch of hits, such as this one from "neomp5" at http://www.almostsmart.com (capitalization, etc., original):

Re: When Will The American People Figure Out That Bush Is A Jackass?

why couldn't the bush administration come up with their own world domination scheme. the one they used was already done by both hitler and darth sidious. get into office with trickery and then scare/threaten/blackmail the people into letting you stay in power by creating emergency situations.

Concerning the gentleman who made a number of illuminating comments concerning President Bush, fascism and the US, I have a minor editorial suggestion.
The very best writer and teacher I ever had reminded us, her pupils, nearly daily that to make our points in discourse repetition was useful. She noted when we restate our position several times the point is more readily driven home.
I am certain that had he followed this bit of advice his missive would have had even more effect.

I see no need to stop the Democrats and/or the Democratic Party from marginalizing themselves while clinging to the rants of Moore, Garafalo et al.
If they wish to live in their own form of autism, I see no problem, espeically when a majority of voters seem able to recognize it.

Anjin-san,
Did or did not Dean say quite publicly that he "hates the Republicans and all they stand for"?

A guy who publicly says he hates (!) 1/3 of Americans is an extremist. Period. End of story. There is no wiggle room there.

Capt. Joe,

I did not mention Dean or Kos in my post. Must I use smaller words?

I have met Dean & heard him speak many times. The charachterization of him as a "far left wacko" is nonsense, the result of a hatchet job done on him by TV news. Simpletons buy it.

P.S. Joe what the hell does this mean?

"Thatâs why sit in seats of honor at all the DNC events."

Yeah sure, they don't.

That's why sit in seats of honor at all the DNC events. That's why Dean is on his way to be DNC chairman. that is why Kos is widely read by dem reps.

Yeah, sure, no dem listens to them.

Interesting that the right is so obsessed with Garofalo & Moore when most Democrats don't give them a second (or a first) thought...

Ummm, Yea. Saddam is in jail...

Meanwhile, Bin Laden (remember him?) is at large and plotting against America.

I am pretty sure Saddam never attacked NYC.

Yea Saddam is a prick, but the world is full of tin-horn dictators. Bush does business with a lot of them.

Oh yes, and a pro-Tehran goverment is probably on its way in Iraq, WOW! thats real cool. They can be buddies with someone who is building real, not phantom WMD's.

Now what exactly is the right so happy about?
