CBS TV Star Compares America to Nazi Germany
2003-02-04
David Clennon,who? star of the hit CBS television series "The Agency," said Monday that the "moral climate" of America under President Bush is similar to that which pervaded Nazi Germany. Then, apparently not satisfied with merely insulting the U.S., Clennon contended that the only difference between Bush and Adolf Hitler is that Hitler was smarter.
Hey, there's a great career move don't you think?
"I'm saying that the moral climate within the ruling class in this country is not that different from the moral climate within the ruling class of Hitler's Germany," Clennon told nationally syndicated radio host Sean Hannity.
...and who would know better then Dave???When Hannity asked if Clennon was comparing the U.S. president to the Nazi leader, the CBS star replied, "I'm not comparing Bush to Adolf Hitler - because George Bush, for one thing, is not as smart as Adolf Hitler. And secondly George Bush has much more power than Adolf Hitler ever had."
And Dave, you know who has even more power then either one of them as far as you're concerned? The head of CBS who ought to fire your sorry ass ASAP...
The Hollywood peacenik said he was concerned that his own TV show had become a propaganda tool for the Bush administration's plans to make war on Iraq.
Then I guess you could quit?......NAH
"I'm saying that we (Americans) have sunk pretty low and I'm saying that you can look at the moral climate in Germany in 1933," Clennon reiterated. "We have to ask ourselves if we found ourselves in Nazi Germany, what would we do?" he added. "Now I say, let the inspection process take its course."
Hey, Dave? Take this from one American you're comparing to a Nazi....F**K YOU!!!
Hannity told the actor that he couldn't wait to get a tape recording of his comments to Clennon's producers at the Tiffany network.
...and that the next time he sees him, he WOULD like fries with that.

#7  If the moral climate were similiar, he would return to his family in a cigar box.

#6  Well, I can only speak for myself, but I think that I have a new mission in life (to add to the rest of the laundry list): getting this f*ckwit fired.

#5  He compared the "moral climate within the ruling class" to 1930s Germany. Maybe he means Hollywood.

#4  Yeah the US is just like Nazi Germany, I mean with all the rail cars transporting Jews from occupied Canada and Mexico to our Death Camps in Texas. How could you not notice the similarities.

My first clue that things were going terribly wrong was when Michael Moore and Noam Chomsky were arrested for speaking out against the government and all the morons in Hollywood were forced to keep their mouths shut out of fear or the regime.

Does anybody remember when the NAZI's dropped food packages into besieged Stalingrad? How could anyone not see the obvious comparisons?

#2  I happened on the end of that segment yesterday and it was a classic. Clennon sounded like such a flake! I'm sure if there were any liberals listening to the show, they must have felt embarrassed by him. Then James Woods comes on and starts talking sense - it was awesome! These two stars start to go at it, live, on the air. Woods was pummeling him and just about to knock some reality into Clennon's head when Hannity cut them off! AAACck! Probably the most interesting fight between celeb's ever recorded on the air and they just stopped it for a "hard break". If I'd been Hannity, I would have allowed them to continue to duke it out behind the advertisements, save it to tape and then play it back on today's show. What a shame they didn't finish. It would have been GOOD.

#1  He was on Hannity's radio show yesterday, I learned from John Bono. I caught the tail end of the delayed broadcast in Chicago. James Woods called to rebut this wacko, and someone who might not have wanted to be heard said, "This guy has a screw loose."
