Andew Sullivan on Bush's similarties to Nazis and others
 
http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.co...fte_verne.html

I really hate people that pretend there is no moral cost to what we do. Especially Mormons who pretend this.

As long as we're hating people ("hate the person, not the .... wait, what was that again?") ... I really hate people who think there is any moral comparison on any level whatsoever between us and the Nazis.

I find it interesting that those who
 
have liberal views such as yourself express "hate" for people. I thought that was something conservatives did.

I like Sullivan but he is an idiot when it comes to his views.

I think people that don't give a damn about civil liberties are a threat to this country, and I am a patriot.

Hate is not the appropriate word. It's not an emotion. It's a calculation and a plan.

The fact that the belief persists frightens me. A lot.

It's good thing I care about civil liberties then, isn't it.

Personally I think overstating things
 
are more of a threat to the society. Overstatements on either side.

How can you ever have a bona fide threat to our civil liberties when organizations like the ACLU are allowed to run rampant.

You have people that praise God with one side of their mouth, and praise torture with the other.

Snipe and others, I think, would gladly participate in torture, and quite enjoy themselves.

But I know this. The future belongs to me. Not the fat old white men that would let evil be spoken as good.

Of course you don't. Monochrome Tex.

And I think you'd gladly rape goats. What's your point?
