Dean Hitler Comparison
Freepers Portray Dean as Hitler - Where Are the Condemnations?
A Moveon volunteer's ad that factually compared Bush's actual words with Hitler's was viciously attacked by GOP chair Ed Gillespie, the Anti-Defamation League, and the American Jewish Congress. But here is a (typically) vicious thread on FreeRepublic.com with a photo that morphs Dean into Hitler. Read the posts and see how many Freepers believe Dean IS Hitler - without reference to a SINGLE word or policy. We DEMAND condemnations from Ed Gillespie (info@rnc.org), the ADL (http://adl.org/report_antisemitic/asirpt.asp), and the AJC (president@ajcongress.org). [Note: this thread was scrubbed shortly after we posted this .comment, but we unscrubbed it pursuant to "fair use" doctrine. We note that Moveon quickly removed the offending ad, but the GOP, ADL, and AJC never withdrew their condemnations, so we still DEMAND condemnations of FreeRepublic.com.]
MediaChannel.org writes, "While there continues to be widespread and negative media attention - orchestrated in large part by the Republican National Committee and Anti-Defamation League - in response to the two 30-second segments on MoveOn, there as yet exists no response to, or coverage of, The New York Post's decision to publish Peters' hate-filled invective. In case you've missed it, here's a sample: 'Howard Dean and his Deanie-weenies do all they can to restrict the free speech of others. I can predict with certainty that Dean's Internet Gestapo will pounce on this column, twisting the facts and vilifying the writer, just as they do when anyone challenges Howard the Coward.'... As of 5:00pm EST Wednesday, a Google News search returned more than 100 stories on the MoveOn.org fiasco, with the bulk of coverage casting a negative light on MoveOn.org. A similar search on Peters' Dean-Nazi comparison returns only one story - The New York Post column itself."
