Former Washington Post, Seinfeld Writer: Bush Worse Than Hitler, Who “Meant Well”

Via Newsbusters, a new low in Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Leftist are fond on saying Bush is like Hitler. But now a former Washington Post writer claims that Bush is worse than Hitler -- and evey other nasty dictator of the 20th Century.

Writing on the Huffington Post, Peter Mehlman claims:

So now we’re six and a half years into Bush and everyone from Helen Thomas on down is declaring him the worst president ever. What no one is saying is the one overarching reason he’s the worst: the Bush administration is the first that doesn’t even mean well.

[. . .]

You could argue that even the world’s worst fascist dictators at least meant well. They honestly thought were doing good things for their countries by suppressing blacks/eliminating Jews/eradicating free enterprise/repressing individual thought/killing off rivals/invading neighbors, etc. Only the Saudi royal family is driven by the same motives as Bush, but they were already entrenched. Bush set a new precedent. He came into office with the attitude of “I’m so tired of the public good. What about my good? What about my rich friends’ good?”

How can anyone not see it? It’s not that their policies have been misguided or haven’t played out right. They. Don’t. Even. Mean. Well.

That’s right.

He’s saying that Adolph Hitler “meant well” in eliminating Jews.

Only in the context of hating Bush could a member of the mainstream media get away with saying that. That’s how far it has gone.
