It looks like they are about to bust into “Springtime For Hitler.”Also, Democratic Underground has a compilation of the "Best of 'BusHitler'":
“Bushitler” (George W. Bush comparable to Adolf Hitler).So folks can excuse me for laughing at teh stupid at Firedoglake right now, "The Other":
We live in a culture where one side is led by rational accommodationists who want to get along and the other, smaller side, led by a delusional, angry, id who want the majority to surrender. Millions of people "hoped", if nothing else, the tenor of politics would be improved only to find that racist, bigoted messages and implications to violence are more prevalent and more tolerated: Steve Pearlstein of the Washington Post:
Health reform is a test of whether this country can function once again as a civil society -- whether we can trust ourselves to embrace the big, important changes that require everyone to give up something in order to make everyone better off. Republican leaders are eager to see us fail that test. We need to show them that no matter how many lies they tell or how many scare tactics they concoct, Americans will come together and get this done.
If health reform is to be anyone's Waterloo, let it be theirs.
Yeah. Right.

Wow, Donald. You found one post on FDL, a blog which is a tad bit strident for my taste, and found 1 comment out of 191 that made a Hitler joke about Bush. Brilliant. Additionally, two other commenters seemed to think it was funny; while the remaining 188 commenters said nothing about it. And this means something to you? 3 out of 191?
And then at Underground Dem, another site I never read, some unknown blogger compiled a list of posts which made a pun out of Bush's and Hitler's names. And of that long list, it included stuff like some unknown blogger who started a Bushitler blog that had a total of twenty-seven posts since 2007. Another link on the list was yet another list compiling Bushitler references, which contained a total of one post. Another was a HuffPo commenter with that user name who posted a total of 50 comments since 2006. And finally, many of the items on the list were conservatives who were mocking liberals for using the word, like here, here, here, and here; among others I saw. And all I did was skim the list to find these, yet didn't see ONE influential blogger on the list. Not one. Not only were these not liberals I read, but these weren't even liberals I've heard of. These were last-tier bloggers and commenters. And the only blogs I saw on that list that I had heard of were all conservatives mocking liberals.
And with this, we're to imagine that it's ok for mainstream conservative bloggers to make comparisons between Obama and Hitler? Really?? And look, that 3 to 191 ratio is the sort of extremist territory you're in; except on the conservative side, it's far higher than that. I believe you yourself have made such comparisons. And here's a video of some nujob insisting that Obama is comparable to Stalin, Hitler, and Pol Pot; while a small crowd of listeners seem to agree completely.
And the question is: Why do you want to associate with the fringe? I never did. I never made Bushitler references and have had many heated discussions with angry libs in an attempt to dissuade their anger and bring them back into the mainstream. And it always was the fringe saying these things, just as the fringe is saying these things now. The only difference, Donald, is that you're encouraging them. For shame. So much for any attempt at reasoned discourse. What ever happened to the conservative intellectuals of yesteryear?
