Dear R.J.:
I thought the Verges interview merited the comparison. Also, those that voted for Bush might find this "too easy" because it's such an obvious truth. He's undermined our civil liberties, tortured people in ignoring the Geneva Conventions, incarcerated foreign citizens without due process, stripped our veterans of their benefits, undermined the care of the elderly, ignored domestic tragedies (Katrina) in favor of pursuing a war in which he deceived the American people, a war that has resulted in 4000+ dead young soldiers, countless wounded, and the deaths of a half a million civilians. Perhaps I should have put Satan himself on the ticket. But that would be an insult to the devil. Maybe tomorrow. I wish it were "literature," but unfortunately this nightmare is no fiction. As Mia Farrow says in “Rosemary’s Baby," ‘this is no dream.’ "Too easy"? I get plenty of weird hits from D.C.. I see it as having the courage to tell it like it is.
More troubling to all Americans should be the fact that he has lowered the status of United States in the eyes of the world in every way, whether you’re a liberal or conservative. Saber rattling no longer works when you’re a toothless tiger that’s the victim of your own bad dentistry. Consider today’s front page story in the New York Times:
SOUTH KOREANS ASSAIL U.S. PACT, SHAKING LEADER
New Cabinet Offers to Resign
SEOUL: Tens of thousands of demonstrators filled central Seoul on Tuesday, hobbling the Administration of the country’s new president and threatening his efforts to improve relations with the United States. The protests, the culmination of six weeks of popular discontent have dealt a sharp blow to President Lee Myung-bak, who in December championed a new approach to managing ties with Washington. The demonstrations prompted Mr. Lee’s entire cabinet to offer to resign. Some South Korean analysts say Mr. Lee may now come under pressure to take a less accommodating line with Washington. The broad unrest reflects popular worries, as well as a reaction against Mr. Lee’s attempts to push through new trade and regulatory policies favored by foreign investors and big businesses.
Peace and love – Randy

Kudos for the response re Hitler versus the devil et al.
Froth?
I find the froth in the irksome reiteration of the supernatural--God vs.the Devil ad nauseum.
Well put hamster town. Hell is on earth. And the devils were then, here and now. A bit paranoid I think not. I just keep trying to pull my head out of the sand it gets so heavy. Ya know?
No offense Peta I love ostrichs.
