Bush v. Hitler

Unlike his fellow conspirozoids, who merely say Bush is as bad as Hitler, Mikey Rivero says the President is even worse.

Really.

Hitler served in the German infantry for three years in WWI. He was wounded three times in combat and was awarded the Iron Cross for his bravery. Bush weaseled his way into the National Guard so he could have an excuse to get out of Vietnam and then went AWOL for a year.

Hitler was democratically elected by the majority of the German people to be their Chancellor in 1933. Bush was selected to be President by politically appointed members of the Supreme Court after losing the popular vote and amidst accusations of ballot fraud in the state of Florida where his brother, by sheer coincidence, is the governor.

In the first few years of his Presidency, Hitler drastically reduced unemployment and restored the German economy into prosperity. In the first few years of the Bush Presidency, unemployment has increased with huge layoffs and the economy in recession.

Sure, Hitler was a bad man, but he wasn’t as bad as what we got; A coward who bribed and manipulated his way into office and then robbed the American people blind.

Actually, America's economic downturn began before Dubya became President. And Hitler became chancellor of Germany with barely 40% of the popular vote, which considerably less than Bush got in 2000. But an inability to tell the difference between a majority and a plurality is the least of this guy's problems.

(There's that little Holocaust thing, for example. Of course, Mikey doesn't believe that happened - hence his recent enthusiasm for Nazi UFO cultist Ernst Zundel.)

Update: this "Bush is worse than Hitler" rant was actually written by one of Rivero's readers. Mind you, Mikey never posts a message he doesn't agree or sympathize with. Either way, it says all you need to know about what type of person reads whatreallyhappened.com, doesn't it?
