WARNING: political rant to follow.
While the overly psychotic leftists will compare George Bush to Adolf Hitler, they are obviously off the deep end if they think there is any real comparison. There are some small comparisons of the reasonings, propaganda, and misinformation about invading Iraq that compare to invading Poland, but that's about where it ends. If you've ever compared Bush to Hitler with a straight face, maybe you should read about the holocaust.

While I can't relate that to the president directly, his advisors have helped along the right wing propaganda that has helped grow that attitude. Remember the Dixie Chicks? Not that some useless entertainers saying anything about politics should have any bearing on anything anywhere, but these poor women spoke their mind and got chastised for it. All they did was give an opinion.. What made their opinion wrong and yours right?
On a side note, if I see another Baldwin or Bono press release about politics I think I'm going to become Republican just to piss them off. Who really cares what these people think? I mean honestly.. I want to know about Bono's new song or
Alright back on track.. So if you read that story and thought "wow, I'm glad I live in the good old USA where that wouldn't happen", think again. There are people that would love to make that happen. Hell, it has happened for that matter. Remember the McCarthy Hearings in the '50s, witch hunting for Communists?
Well, maybe we've learned from it all.. but then again, maybe not. Personally I'm glad I live in a country where this t-shirt is perfectly legal;
