Ok, a couple of points here. At what point do liberals feel a line has been crossed? To compare any US President to Hitler is just flat out wrong in any case. This teacher is using his/her position to further their political/social agenda. I would say that is an abuse of power/authority and not education. It should be flat out insulting to every American, regardless of political affiliation. Secondly, the assignment itself is incorrect and biased. The instructions state, "Now that we have read about two men of power who abused their power in various ways, we will compare and contrast them and their actions..." That is factually incorrect, where and when did Bush ever abuse is powers as President? He didn't. Like his decision or not, he followed the Constitution with the full support of Congress. The lesson itself if full of incorrect bias. My concern with this point is that the assignment is drawing upon previous lessons. The school board evidently approves of those lessons. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...-comparing-hitler-and-george-w-bush/15440065/
The are both white men of European ancestry. They are both politicians One was a gifted orator, the other a really good BSer.
What makes me chuckle is how the people that were all offended and vocal when Obama and Hitler were compared are strangely silent on this. Fucking hypocrites!
Bush was mostly not a socialist party member like Hitler Hitler used his legally obtained office to become dictator Bush did not Hitler started a war, so did Bush Hitler lost the war Bush did not Bush radically increased the governments power, so did Hitler Hitler had a stupid little mustache Bush did not Hitler hated other races and religions, Bush did not Obama is a member of he leftist party like Hitler Obama hung out without communists, Hitler tried to kill them Hitler made the trains run on time, Obama did not Obama abandoned allies creating a war, Hitler allied to start a war Obama is half black, Hitler was not Obama golfs, Hitler did not Happy now
You give me some idiot liberal teacher, I'll give you conservative semi-star Ben Carson saying that to understand Obama, one should read Mein Kampf... The idiocy line has been trampled many times on both sides...
Those damn Uncle Tom negroes, eh? I can't believe you just compared some chucklehead teacher to Ben Carson. It's amazing how much liberal whites hate any darkie who leaves the plantation.
LOL! it's so off base one would think you're projecting your own racial sensibilities... Wouldn't be the first time.
One is expressing his personal opinion to adults, the other is being paid by the public to educate children. Huge difference. Also note that I found issue with the school board who let little nugget of information slip through in that the topic is an approved teaching point from a previous lesson.
Not in the least. You're the one with the scorn for an accomplished black man, not me. Obama couldn't carry Carson's briefcase.
You're getting delusional again. It was you who made it a race issue. He simply gave an example of someone who compared Obama to Hitler. What does his race have to do with it?
Sure. This happens to be the latest Obama-ball-swinger talking point. Here's what Carson said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p7N1pvK22Y
I work for a German company. I have many many many German friends. Not ONE of those people will even acknowledge that he ever existed. He brought great shame on a fine group of people. They have taught me to forget he existed too. Any reference to that monster is shameful.
