I'll have to agree with Craig here. Comparing Bush to Hitler (or Hilary, for that matter) is beyond the pale. Hitler ordered the extermination of an entire race; Hitler watched the execution of the officers who revolted against him. Whatever you may say about Bush, that's not him. And it's making light of Auschwitz comparing Guantanamo to it.
What frightens me is that the conspiracy fringe of the right, which emerged after 1992 and which is perfectly represented by Mul on this board, has actually found a home in the Republican party. People who believe that Clinton had Ron Brown killed, that Waco was a premeditated massacre, that Kerry is a communist stooge, etc. find their champion in Bush, and he and Rove do nothing to discourage this kind of thinking. The conspiracy fringe on the left, those who think that Bush went into Iraq only for oil, that the CIA runs the country, that the government is paid for by the big corporations, etc. actually don't like Kerry. They might vote for him, but they sure don't like him. In other words, there is no space left right of Bush, plenty of space left of Kerry. Bush IS the extreme right. Rove after 2000 made the conscious decision to mobilize the extremist, and here they are. If they get another four years, the country will into a medieval fortress, replete with mass hysteria, adulation of mentally retarded kings,and crusades.
