Pirate's Cove

They are fighting mad!

President Bush has said repeatedly that he would not insert himself into the presidential race, but that stance changed dramatically today during his trip to Israel. After likening Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Osama bin Laden, Bush compared Barack Obama to Nazi appeasers:

“We have heard this foolish delusion before,” Bush said in remarks to the Israeli Knesset. “As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American Senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,” said Bush, in what White House aides privately acknowledged was a reference to calls by Obama and other Democrats for the U.S. president to sit down for talks with leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Now, I wrote this starting around 10:50am, before heading to work. The “story” was posted at 9am today. There are already well over 350 mostly seething comments at the HuffPo. Let’s look at some of the fun ones

• any enemy of bush is my friend
• Maybe the grandson of Prescott Bush should avoid comments about “nazi appeasers”.
• Ironically, Israel is reported to be engaging in conversations with Syria, … and Bush accuses Obama of appeasement, … in the style of Chamberlain, because he would engage Iran in diplomatic discussions. (those conversations including bombing a nuclear site in Syria)
•  He can go straight to hell.
• The comments Bush made were awful. They were compounded by the fact he was speaking in Israel. The Middle East wouldn’t be in such turmoil if GB hadn’t been so hellbent to go to war. (right, because there were no issues prior to 1/20/2001)
• Obama a Nazi appeaser? When did he become a Bushie?
• Foolish delusion, indeed! Mr. President, you are a disgrace, dragging partisan politics into a state visit. Prescott Bush was the model of appeasement to the Nazis all because of greed…again you have made me wonder…are you stupid or just plain evil–or both? As mentioned before “Shut the hell up!”
• This, coming from a man whose grandfather Prescott laundered money for the Nazis. He’s a true buffoon.
• Take off your jock,
  Stuff it in a sock,
  See if you can find your brain with a Glock.
• Bush should then be compared to Hitler.
• “millions of gullible dipshit Americans”No offense to the minority of fellow citizens with more than half a brain, but isn’t this description of the majority of Americans what they call a “redundancy?”
• LOL!!! as opposed to just being a Nazi?
• Bush is a traitor and a murderer who deserves to be shunned for the rest of his life. I for one will call him a, “Murderer and a Liar”, if fate would ever give me the chance. If this man was in prison we would be more safe than if we would find and kill off all of al-Qaida.
• HEADLINE sometime in August/ September 2008: US BOMBS IRAN, PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION POSTPONED AS MARSHALL LAW DECLARED
• (here’s one from one of those “the left is so much smarter then the right” folks) Is it just me,or does the aroma l about”white supremacy” seem to be tinging the atmospeher lately-starting with Clinton’s white voters remarks,and now this? Folks,I’ve posted this before,but it merits a repeat. The uber right wing Fellowship,run by Doug Coe has both GWB and Hillary indebted to them. This is called Christian Dominionism and the roots are in Naziism. Hillary has referred to Doug Coe,the Fellowships leader,as her dearest spiritual advisor. The Evangelicals who helped put GW in office are tied by allegiances to THIS GROUP. THEY CONSIDER THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG WHEN aNNHIALTING OTHER COUNTRIES iN THE NAME OF CHRISTIANITY.Google up “Expose:Christian Mafia”,by Wayne Madsen.
• I compare Bush to Hitler. Both wanted regime change in neighboring countries. Both launched unprovoked wars of aggression, which according to Nuremburg constitutes a war crime.Let us never forget Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 and Osama bin Ladin. Iraq had no WMDs, nuclear program, nor biological “mobile labs.”

I’ll stop there, though though there are plenty more of the “Bush is a Nazi” and “Don’t forget about Bush’s grand pappy!” ones. The last one highlights the lefts inability to reconcile reality and history. Hitler did not want regime change (which, as far as Iraq goes, was signed in to law by Clinton, which I agree with): he wanted control of other countries. Domination. The last part is simply just another repeat of standard liberal talking points. If only they would spend as much time learning about what the Islamists want.

The Obamessiah responded back, failing to realize that it was 8 years of Democrat attacks on Bush’s tough foreign policy, while coddling Iran themselves, that has made Iran more dangerous.

Since I originally wrote this, we have Joe Biden going apeshat

The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joe Biden, D-Delaware, called President Bush’s comments accusing Sen. Barack Obama and other Democrats of wanting to appease terrorists “bulls**t” and said if the president disagrees so strongly with the idea of talking to Iran then he needs to fire his secretaries of State and Defense, both of whom Biden said have pushed to sit down with the Iranians.

“This is bullshit. This is malarkey. This is outrageous. Outrageous for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, sit in the Knesset…and make this kind of ridiculous statement,” Biden said angrily in a brief interview just off the Senate floor.

“He’s the guy who’s weakened us. He’s the guy that’s increased the number of terrorists in the world. His policies have produced this vulnerability the United States has. His intelligence community pointed that out not me. The NIE has pointed that out and what are you talking about, is he going to fire Condi Rice? Condi Rice has talked about the need to sit down. So his first two appeasers are Rice and Gates. I hope he comes home and does something.”

Meanwhile, Joe forgot to tell us why he thinks it is OK for a guy who wants to be President of the USA to say that he will engage in top level, ie, himself, diplomacy with someone like Ahmadinejad. Besides, haven’t the Dems told us they are above these types of attacks?

Philly.com says that Bush committed political treason. Of course, let’s compare this to the actual treason that Democrats have engaged in since 9/11.

Nancy P. said Bush’s comments were beneath the dignitiy of the office. Well, she would know, considering the comments her Party has made, such as that our troops are the same as Nazi’s. Of course, it might just be a consequence of the perpetually puzzled look she has on her face.

The AP is in high dundgeon in their backing of Obama, who says that the comments were just mean and wrong. He doesn’t tell us why, but, of course, if a Republican says something about a liberal that a liberal cannot refute, it must be mean. Or racist. Or is anti-children. Or something. Anything to avoid responding with facts.

Follow through the links at Memeorandum, and see Liberals Gone Wild(er). The seethe scale is at 10. Looks like they forgot about

Meanwhile, Joe Lieberman and John McCain both say that Dubya was dead on point. And they do it with facts, rather them personal attacks like the Dems.
