<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Sine is citing "Godwin's Law", which basically says that as soon as someone makes a Nazi comparison, all further comments by said person become completely irrelevant and the debate is over (unless you'd call a flame war a debate).</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>'eh, that little part of it was unneeded and I don't like it either, but it wasn't a major point or anything</div>

Actually, the point of the video was that John Kerry's supporters had made the comparison of Bush to Hitler... not the other way around (if that's what you were implying).

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>...and BTW, to Bush: Those video clips were sweet! Thanks for showing them to me. I agreed with all of the passionate statements made by the men in the clips and they got me even more fired up to "smoke you out" of the white house in November.</div>

I'm not so sure that Kerry supporters have blatantly said that, though.  This commercial seems to draw the line for the Democrats to make it look like they have said it, and then uses it against them.

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>However Bush & Co. don't note this and they splice it in with images of Gore, Dean, & Kerry adding the <i>effect</i> that all of these people are the same (Democrats & Hitler). This whole thing seems stupid to me.</div>

Yeah, but see, MoveOn is a leftist organization, not actually affiliated with Kerry.

Yes, Bush, it -IS- time for the public to get pissed off!</div>
