Who is worse, Bush or Hitler?

Question

-At least Hitler fixed his economy

-At least Hitler genuinely acted on what he thought was best for his country

-At least Hitler was competent

-At least Hitler got into power by the consent of his country and without the support of his family

-At least Hitler could identify famous artist like Picasso or Munch (There's a bad joke here)

I'm not saying that Hitler was a good person by any means, nor am I defending any of his actions. All I'm saying is that he has some merits that Bush definitely does not.

What do you think?

Answer 1

Hitler- Bush is not that evil  

Answer 2

What's far worse is the ignorance it takes to post a question like this.

Answer 3

Hitler is dead. Bush still lives  

Answer 4

You forgot

-At least Hitler got his country blown to h**l and occupied by Russians for several decades.

-At least Hitler made Germans infamous around the world and synonymous to the words n**i, genocide, facist, intolerant, etc.

Answer 5

I'd say an incompetant buffoon is always morally better than the intentially genocidal, totalitarian brute.  And if you don't know which is which, you have no business comparing Bush to Hitler.

Answer 7

Bush!

At least Hitler knew that he was causing harm to the World.

Bush is so wrapped up in his own unconnected thinking,he cannot see beyond his office door!

Answer 8

Hitler was a serious racist and a mad man.

Bush is definitely racist but only a little mad.

No one likes USA again because of bush. I support Barak Obama cause I am fedup and disgusted with this racist mentality USA has against other countries and only a non racist man can fix these policies.

And barak being black is probably least racist of them all.  

Answer 9

Until we know the extent of the crimes George Bush has committed, it's not possible to make that judgment. But it's very unlikely that Bush is more evil than Hitler was. He certainly hasn't destroyed the U.S. the way Hitler destroyed Germany. Nor is Bush guilty of systematic genocide. Based on what we know today, I'd say that Bush is not even close to being as evil as Hitler. If and when the truth is ever known about 911, I might change my mind.

Answer 10

Hitler wasn't a white supremist.  He believed in German superiority even though he was probably Jewish (Real last name was Shicklegruber).

That you can even raise this question is absurd and really doesn't merit a response.  What it establishes is the fact the liberals cannot debate facts but, when confronted with them, must rely on name calling.

Your question is offensive because, Republican or Democrat, the President is the President and deserves a certain amount of respect as the representative of We the People.  This is even if you disagree with him.  Analogies to a tyrant are not warranted.

Answer 11

Hitler

Answer 12

After WWII, Hitler had bankrupted the economy. Bush also did what he thought was best for his country. At least we don't have concentration camps here. His sisters actually aided him in his campaigns to office, so he did have family support. (His sister however, was never named in Mein Kampf for supporting him.)

I don't like Bush and plan to vote for Obama in the fall. However, it is absolute lunacy to compare Bush to Hitler. Hitler was an absolutely evil and deranged monster that killed MILLIONS of people for the sole reason of what they were in the most brutal fashion imaginable. (Jews, homosexuals, communists, etc) The ONLY thing Hitler did was bring short term prosperity to Germany after WWI. In the end, what was that worth?

It seems everytime there is an unpopular leader, we sink to the "compare him to Hitler" mentality. Hitler is in a league all of his own, with an equal mix of charisma, madness, and plain evil. I believe that we will not see someone like Hitler again in our lifetime. There may be people that are going to come close. (The leaders in Sudan that allow atrocities in the Darfur region, Mugabe in Zimbabwe that is outright racist in taking away land from white land owners for example) However, Hitler will be in a league of his very own.

Answer 13

What do I think? I think you're a childish dolt.

**edit**

You're way out of your league in politics my delusional friend.

All of your comparisons are either disingenuous, strictly opinion, erroneous, or a combination of the three.

Hitler came into power when the economy could not possible get any worse.  There was nowhere to go except for up.  And the way he "fixed" the economy is he got people working and the economy moving by organizing large public works projects (super highways) and other projects. His military build up added jobs in industry.

In the short run any politician with power can do the same thing. All that is necessary is to open the government spending spigot and pump money into the economy. Trouble is that this is not a long-term solution and will ultimately lead to economic ruin due to inflation and economic inefficiencies.

There have been books written that outline the Hitler/German economic situation in 1939. They indicate that the German economy was overheating due to government spending. Government gold reserves were near exhausted. Germany was largely forced to conquer its neighbors starting with Austria in order to keep the process going. Had they not, Hitler would have been forced to cut back on his military budget and take a more tolerant position in foreign affairs.

So you see my dimwitted friend?  Hitler's freedom from ethics and morality temporarily pumped up the economy, only to see his country ultimately fall to rubble.  This being after 10's of millions of deaths worldwide of course, Hitler solely responsible.  I think that's a quite a large difference in character when compared to Bush.

Your next two "points" are strictly YOUR OPINION.

Your last point is inept because Bush was also elected into office via the will of the people.

Now, what do YOU think?  I look forward to hear your oh so brilliant and in depth input. LMAO

Answer 14

Thanks for you reductio ad hitlerum question..

It proves the mentality of the left..

The answer is Hitler.. obviously

Answer 15

Hiter is a National Socialist

or was

there is no man in history except Jesus Christ that cause the

commotion of Adolf Hitler..

Born and died the greatest white supremist the world has ever seen

Answer 16

Bush is one of the worst presidents in this country's history.

That being said, you cheapen the utter depth of Hitler's insane crimes and insult his millions of victims by casually comparing him to someone like George W. Bush.  

Answer 17

high gas prices,and the federal reserve moving interest rates is why our economy is the way it is,neither the result of bush.bush was elected twice by the consent of the people of this country.you are ignorant of many facts.you are correct on hitler on some points,if he would have not tried the military approach he would have conquered the world economically. but it just shows you that hitler wasn't all that competent

Answer 18

Letting Bush to compare with Hilter is insulting Hilter!

Answer 19

Your comparison is ridiculous and stupid. You should read and study more about who is who before you make comments like that.

Answer 20

You must be joking.  I think every Jew that reads this and every family member of a WW II veteran who was KIA would like to cause you bodily harm.  This question is nothing short of insulting.

Answer 21

Both are terrible but at least Hitler didn't have that innocent look about him that Bush has down pat.

The ones who look innocent are the worst offenders.

Answer 22

hitler he killed loads of peeps  

Answer 23

most importantly at least Hitler was honest about going to war and his other actions.

Answer 24

That's an easy one. Hitler, because he didn't have term limits and stayed in office long enough to do much more damage to his own country and the world.

Answer 25

Bush needs to be tried for War Crimes and Crimes against Mankind. Not one of the 9/11 terrorist was from Iraq; so what in the Hades was we doing in Iraq. I believe that it had nothing to do with 9/11; instead we were there trying to settle a civil war which had been brewing for several years at the expense of the American Tax Payer.
