'Have You No Sense of Decency, Sir?' |
'Have You No Sense of Decency, Sir?'
by Keith Olbermann
It is to our deep national shame-and ultimately it will be to the
President's deep personal regret-that he has followed his Secretary of
Defense down the path of trying to tie those loyal Americans who disagree
with his policies-or even question their effectiveness or execution-to the
Nazis of the past, and the al Qaeda of the present.
Today, in the same subtle terms in which Mr. Bush and his colleagues
muddied the clear line separating Iraq and 9/11 -- without ever actually
saying so-the President quoted a purported Osama Bin Laden letter that spoke
of launching, "a media campaign to create a wedge between the American
people and their government."
Make no mistake here-the intent of that is to get us to confuse the
psychotic scheming of an international terrorist, with that familiar
bogeyman of the right, the "media."
The President and the Vice President and others have often attacked
freedom of speech, and freedom of dissent, and freedom of the press.
Now, Mr. Bush has signaled that his unparalleled and unprincipled
attack on reporting has a new and venomous side angle:
The attempt to link, by the simple expediency of one word-"media"-the
honest, patriotic, and indeed vital questions and questioning from American
reporters, with the evil of Al-Qaeda propaganda.
That linkage is more than just indefensible. It is un-American.
Mr. Bush and his colleagues have led us before to such waters.
We will not drink again.
And the President's re-writing and sanitizing of history, so it fits
the expediencies of domestic politics, is just as false, and just as
scurrilous.
"In the 1920's a failed Austrian painter published a book in which he
explained his intention to build an Aryan super-state in Germany and take
revenge on Europe and eradicate the Jews," President Bush said today, "the
world ignored Hitler's words, and paid a terrible price."
Whatever the true nature of al Qaeda and other international terrorist
threats, to ceaselessly compare them to the Nazi State of Germany serves
only to embolden them.
More over, Mr. Bush, you are accomplishing in part what Osama Bin
Laden and others seek-a fearful American populace, easily manipulated, and
willing to throw away any measure of restraint, any loyalty to our own
ideals and freedoms, for the comforting illusion of safety.
It thus becomes necessary to remind the President that his
administration's recent Nazi "kick" is an awful and cynical thing.
And it becomes necessary to reach back into our history, for yet
another quote, from yet another time and to ask it of Mr. Bush:
"Have you no sense of decency, sir?"

Bush has decency. Decency for making Amurkah into a Mexican border town.

Try any leftist site you want, and also include the political NGs on Usenet.
Do a search for Bush and Hitler or Bush Nazi and see how many time those
words appear within three or four words of one another. You pukes have been
doing this since months before he even took office, and you are still not
smart enough to have noticed it yet? Sheesh!
Democrats and other leftists have to be the dumbest animals on the planet.
Have a nice day,
Ken
