57. Judge Laurence Silberman compared a journalist who said, 'Bush lied America into war' with NAZIs.

Judge Laurence Silberman is the GOP guy who met with the Iranians at L'Enfant Plaza Hotel in 1980; overturned Oliver North's conviction on appeal; and helped foist Clarence Thomas and John Yoo into court.

Federal Appeals Judge Compares People Who Say Bush Lied To Rise Of Nazis

A federal appeals judge wrote in a column published on Sunday that people who accuse former President George W. Bush of lying about the Iraq War are peddling myths like those that led to the rise of Hitler.

Laurence H. Silberman, a federal appellate judge appointed by President Ronald Reagan, wrote in the Wall Street Journal that the idea the Bush administration "lied us into Iraq" has gone from "antiwar slogan to journalistic fact."

"It is one thing to assert, then or now, that the Iraq war was ill-advised," he wrote. "It is quite another to make the horrendous charge that President Bush lied to or deceived the American people about the threat from Saddam."

After re-litigating the case for invading Iraq, Silberman wrote that the charge could have "potentially dire consequences."

"I am reminded of a similarly baseless accusation that helped the Nazis come to power in Germany: that the German army had not really lost World War I, that the soldiers instead had been 'stabbed in the back' by politicians," he wrote.

Silberman was instrumental in about every major event turning America rightward and backward over the past 35 years, at least. Of course, he and the cursed Federalist Society need be brought to light, then justice.
