Obviously Hitler surpasses Bush many times over in his crimes against humanity. However, in reponse to a comparison between Hitler and Bush in an another question, I stumbled upon some striking similiarities. Here they are:


1. They both rose to power as a result of a legitimate democratic elective process. Then both used the power endowed to them by the will of the people to curtail the civil liberties of their constituency on the basis national security and global hegemony.

2. Both Hitler and Bush believe they have a divine mandate to be in power and impose their will on other nations.

3. They both use scapegoats such as Jews (For Hitler) and Islamic terror (For Bush) to mask the domestic issues that were/are affecting their nations.

4. They both attained a level of success that one would not expect considering that they were, from a personal and academic perspective, failures.

5. They both are under the impression that their political and governmental paradigm can be applied to any country, regardless of the culture differences in the aforesaid country they intend on dominating.

6. They both used tragedy to galvanize their bickering citizenry around them. Hitler had the devastation of War World I, and Bush had 9/11.

7. Each man deftly uses propaganda outfits to elicit complicity from the masses. Hitler had Josef Goebbels and the film “Triumph of the Will” and Bush has Karl Rove and Fox News.

8. Both men use/used allusions to historical military events to inspire the unthinking public behind them. Hitler used to invoke the Germanic dynasties of old, and Bush makes reference to the “axis” of evil, which is evocative of World War II, and he uses terms like “Crusade” harkening Christians back to a time when military power, the state, and Christianity had a symbiotic relationship.

9. Both men are prone to fits of rage when contradicted.

10. Both men in the final analysis failed in their political endeavors. Hitler, as history attested did fail. Bush, as the future will soon reveal, will also fail.

"The National Government will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life."
— Adolf Hitler, Berlin, 1933, first radio address after coming to power.

God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them.
-- George W Bush,

lol noooo that wasnt the cheesiest thing i've ever read or anything E :P

ok ok guess Hitler wins

Well if we go on death toll, Bush hasn't caught up with Hitler quite yet but he is closing in, of course the final tally will fall to Bush's successor, what a bad deal they are getting. So Hitler has Bush on this one but they are of the same ilk.

Get over it...if you hate him so much then leave.

Nice quote. If it's real, it's a translation of a translation. The quote is at best hearsay. According to Abbas (who is a terrorist), Bush told him that. Just wanted to point out the quality of your source there.

Sorry to interrupt everyone, please continue to foam at the mouth and howl at the moon, don't let me get in the way of your crazy ideas and absolutely moronic comparisons.

The majority of the country hates him so maybe you should leave

OH THANK GOD SOMEONE SMART CAME INTO THE TOPIC!

HA! Let me ask you something did you vote at all in that election?

HA...yes...and not for that idiot...I voted for the other idiot to keep that idiot out of office...and it was the first time I actually voted...just to try to keep bush out of office

Okay well I give you credit for that atleast you did vote...I just hate ppl who judge the president when they dident even vote...if you dont vote then dont complain...but you did so thats your opinion and you have that right!

Come on guys, I would never tell anyone to leave as if I owned it myself, no offense intended of course. We all have a right to be here and our differing opinions are the American way. So don't try to kick anyone out of what belongs to them both, please.

Don't encourage him. He is very fanatical and extremist!!!!

Good for you, vote and vote often, we need more people to vote.

I'm not a fan of Bush. I dislike Cheney even more.

That said, comparing either of them to Hitler is blasphemous. If your last name was Rushdie, you'd already be in an underground secret location as we speak.

Bush may be ethnocentric and avaricious but Hitler was a hate monger who had delusional thoughts of manifest destiny. In today's world, he'd be declared legally insane - with or without syphillis.

Cut the Prez some slack for human frailty and let him go. He's almost out of office and this country needs to saddle and ride whoever is next because we are at an apex in our history right now. Divisiveness is the one thing both candidates are seeking to soothe. They are both moderates, despite what the talking heads and PR gurus want you to believe. We need that right now.

no offense to the OP all my opinion
