Republicans are trying to compare Bush lies to Roosevelt Lend Lease!

[tmorelli415]

I've now heard for the third time from Freeptard types arguing that the lies told by B*sh to accomplish the aim of war with Iraq is no different than FDR's Lend Lease program with its aim of U.S. participation in WWII! OMFG! These people's minds are so twisted it is un-f*cking-believable! Obviously they are saying this amongst one another as they search for excuses for DSM.

1. Yes, they can capitalize on people who don't know history

[EVDebs]

2. Wait til they try to use Pearl Harbor as a 9-11 'excuse'

Oh wait, PNAC already did that.

[Village Idiot]

4. I have repeatedly heard the comparison from the LIHOP/MIHOP...

that Roosevelt knew (via Magic) about the attack on Pearl Harbour before it happened, just as it is obvious that * knew (or actually planned it) about 9/11 in advance...

There seems to be SOME justification for the comparison...I am not an expert on either theory, but my personal opinion fluctuates somewhere between LIHOP and MIHOP with respect to 9/11 - and I would be surprised if Roosevelt did NOT know about Pearl Harbour...

3. That fits with Rush's "selective outrage" meme of yesterday

So Watergate=Pick Any Other Presidetial Scandal.
and DSM = Lend Lease.

Can't hardly impeach the Bushling for Doing The Right Thing to Get Those Isla, uh, I mean, Ara, uh, I mean Terrorists.

Yeah, Bush and Roosevelt. Right. Oh, wait, I thought Roosevelt was a fuck up who gave away central Europe?

It gets so confusing sometimes. Perhaps I should turn on the telescreen and get caught up.
