Keith Olbermann Nails The National Press Club

[GurnSi]

HITLER vs BUSH Part 4/21 BOTH

Approvingly used the term "propaganda"

Stated history would ultimately vindicate defeats, unpopular actions

While making populist-patriotic speeches, served rich vested interests (B confessed his "political base")

Claimed unique historic destiny for country, providential role for self

Increasingly out-of-touch with reality

Micromanaged news coverage (H:Goebbels; B:Rove,Fox,Fleischer etc) to ensure most were stunningly misinformed

Saw conflict as "us good, them bad"

[IoEstasCedonta]

@GurnSi You could make a list like this for anyone. What made Hitler evil was genocide and starting the bloodiest war the world's ever seen. The methods he used to do this have been used by thousands of great figures before and since for the same reason he used them - because *they are effective*. Bush's crimes are Bush's; Hitler's are Hitler's. The means by which they carried them out are those by which all manner of action good and evil has been carried out over the millennia.
