Funny, you never hear the Nazi-Americans using the 'rape room' excuse...

[Taverner]

anymore....

It used to be their ultimate defense for the Iraq war.

"BUT...BUT...HE HAD RAPE ROOMS!!!"

Now that we got em too, can't really use that as an excuse

1. To be fair

I think a lot of people were disgusted with the rape rooms in Iraq under Saddam. I have seen several documentaries about how Uday, especially, regularly used the rooms against women/wives of his political opponents.

Just because we have done despicable things in Iraq does not excuse Saddam's despicable acts.

My point is not everyone who was appalled by the rape rooms are "Nazi-Americans"

3. I believe he was referring to Radwriter's thread

In which Radwriter suggested that those who support Bush are Nazis. While I have no doubt that some of them are, indeed, Nazis/fascists/etcet., it is not really productive to go around categorizing whole swaths of people in such despicable terms. It's like calling all liberals "communists."

4. Oh really? Find me one use of the phrase "rape room" before Bush used it

Just one.

5. So do you agree that Bush is as bad as Saddam?

Or do you disagree?

2. "Iraq still has rape rooms; they're just under new management."

Shuts up the RWers at work every time.
