| Harper: "Hezbollah are Nazis", Opposition Scramble to Agree |
| 2006-08-23 |
| Prime Minister Stephen Harper said yesterday it's not unfair to liken Hezbollah to the Nazis because both stand for the destruction of the "Jewish nation." And all along we thought Bush was the Nazi! In an interview, Mr. Harper was asked if the comparison made earlier in the day by his parliamentary secretary, Conservative MP Jason Kenney, was appropriate. "Like all comparisons, it's true in some ways, and not in others," he said, "but as near as I can tell, both Hezbollah and the Nazi party stand for the elimination of the Jewish nation. So I think that's pretty fundamental and, in that sense, I don't think it's unfair. Hard to argue with cold logic. How did this guy get elected? "I think those who associate themselves with Hezbollah in this country are operating beyond the pale, and they're frankly operating in defence of an organization that is an illegal criminal organization in this country," said Mr. Harper. Which explains why the Consrvative MP did not accompany the opposition moonbats on the Hezbollah cook's tour of Lebanon and Syria. |

| #4 It is my firm belief that one of the few remaining vehicles still resident in this world's memory is that of the Nazis (communism doesn't work because too many "useful idiots" are still enamored of it). Even though WWII is a dim memory for most people, the iconic evil of Nazism, as portrayed in so many post-war movies and other media forms has made it such that Hitler and his thugs are one of the only vivid analogues of genocidal Islam. At the risk of engendering further animosity, I'll add that even the constant conservative wordplay hereabouts vis Bush=Hitler is, not only tiresome, but deleterious to how useful the more apt comparison with Islamism can be. I'll also remind you that I have never stooped to using the Bush=Hitler equation. It is not just plain wrong or abusive, but also a disservice to any memory of the Sho'ah. |
