- "a paranoid fanatic intoxicated by messianic passions and dimmer than a slug. A man drunk with power, as he was drunk with alcohol before—and legally condemned for it on 4 September 1976, for driving drunk at full speed. Admonished, too, by none other than the evangelist Billy Graham who told him, "Who are you, to think yourself God?". A militant for the Christian Right, the Texan, Southern Christian right that is. A racist in love with the death sentence, especially when it comes to African-Americans. All in all, the worst US president for over a century, the man who will unleash the greatest tragedies on his own people. The opposite of Homo Sapiens, the incarnation of Homo Demens."
And wasn't it Newsweek that proclaimed "We are all Socialists" now? Communist/socialist governments have killed far more of their own citizens than any other form of government in all of history. And who can forget that 2008 image of Obama speaking before the throngs in Germany during his U.S. campaign for the Presidency? Is there anything similar to cause such anger at Bush which was rampant, raging and irrational?

Ah yes! That pesky little thing called Freedom of Speech
One of the leftwing blogs I frequent, just to keep my blood pressure up, had a posting denouncing the fact that a sign in Iowa was placed up there with a picture of Obama side by side with Hitler and Lenin.
While some of the economic policies and objectives of these three are similar, that kind of visaul rhetoric (if you will)only inflames more hatred and furthers the chasm when it comes to the civil debate of ideas.
I denounced the sign also, but lamented the fact that many on the left refused to do so during Bush's presidency when such comparisons were made too.
