(2,169 posts)19. The Hitler Thing
In previous appearances recently, Mrs. Clinton drew parallels between the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Ukraine and Adolf Hitler before the Second World War.
Apparently the shame of Godwins Law only applies to internet message boards
"
John Kerry) said that Assad has now joined the list of Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein in deploying chemical weapons against his population and that the case remains the same for a U.S. response. Kerry echoed Obama in saying the world cannot stand by and watch Assad use chemical weapons."
...Kerry said Obama has the right to take action against Syria, with or without Congress' approval.

In 1956, we were told that Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt was the new Hitler, when he had the temerity to nationalise the Suez Canal and resist an invasion by Britain, France and Israel.
In 1990, we were told that Saddam Hussein was the new Hitler, when he invaded Kuwait, which triggered the first gulf War.
The Serb leader Slobodan Milosevic was dubbed the new Hitler in 1999, during the Kosovo war.
In 2002-3, Saddam Hussein became the new Hitler for a second time, as George Bush and Tony Blair banged the drum for their illegal war against Iraq.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned on Tuesday that Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi is serious about attacking European cities in order to pressure European officials to cease their airstrikes against Libya.

He actually means it, Graham said of Gadhafi. Hitler meant it. He means it.

The so called "leaders" of the US keep pointing their fingers at others whilst their own government has ~900 military bases around the world and has started numerous wars since WW2.
What's up with all that?
The United States has been involved in and assisted in the overthrow of foreign governments (more recently termed "regime change"
without the overt use of U.S. military force. Often, such operations are tasked to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)

The people of the US not only tolerate the above in their name they watch as projection is used to lie about and portray others as that which they themselves are guilty of.
It's disgusting.
