A Nazi / Gitmo analogy that just might work (if we need one, which we don’t)

Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats are now claiming (rather too adamantly for my tastes) that they support the troops serving in Guantanamo Bay—which, it follows, then, that they are not prepared to blame actual camp guards for the what they insist is the egregious and systematic torture of Islamic freedom fighters being detained there, but rather wish instead to hold accountable only those higher-ups in the military and Defense Department (with Donald Rumsfeld the chief villain) responsible for the prescribing camp policy.

Now, correct me if I’m wrong—but didn’t guards at the Nazi death camps trot out the same “just following orders” defense that Democratic leaders like Pelosi are now, ipso facto, bequeathing to US soldiers serving in Cuba…?

Just a thought.  And for the record, I was really really stoned when I came up with it, so there’s that

    Dick finally apologized. He should have been censured but the Repubs are just too nice to do things like that.

  2. First, you are on our blogroll but we are not on yours that I can see.

    I love the idea of opening up a commission by the democrats to investigate gitmo.  Let them hold it in a supply room of the house and pretend they actually matter.

    stoned or not, your right on! how insulting can they be to soldiers? as my husband puts it “i’m either evil or a dupe, great set of choices.”

  4. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Yeah, Daniel, Mayor Daley made him do it.  Screw Durbin, and screw this entire contorted attempt on the part of certain members of the Democratic leadership to sully the reputation of the military and DoD while pretending to love the troops.

    Maggie— your husband has it exactly right.

    Can we question their patriotism yet?

  6. B Moe says:

    If you can find it, you have can question away.

    Just be sure to keep the music low and the room at 70 degrees.

  7. Patricia says:

    Hey, don’t try to figure those people out, especially if you’ve had a toot or two.  Your brain will explode.

  8. Tman says:

    Corvan,

    Steyn had the best line about all this

    I hasten to add that in what follows I am not questioning Dick Durbin’s patriotism, at least not for the first couple of paragraphs. Instead, I’ll begin by questioning his sanity. . . .

    Aaron, I’m told that part of the dancing armadillo’s contract with this site was that he would not have to go head-to-head with Sneezin’ Susie.

    Jeff’s pot-induced insight falls apart completely once you realize that Hitler was no Rove ….

    … Rove has mind control beams, man

    …. mind control …

    beams beaming from his Big Rovian Brain

    … controlling … people

    … guards and such

    bendingtheirwillstohis

    It’s simple: Hitler didn’t have Rove.

    but that might be the beer talking.

  11. gail says:

    No, when beer talks it makes more of a gutteral sound.

  12. CraigC says:

    Exactly, Gail, while a ‘94 Silver Oak Cab is more like a woman’s sigh.

  13. kelly says:

    Exactly, CraigC, while a ‘94 Caymus Special Selection Cab is more like a woman’s orgasm.

  14. Major John says:

    But Jeff, they “support the troops” I, myself, must have received half a dozen care packages from Ms. Pelosi herself while I was in Afghanistan.  Of course, the notes in them were a bit strange.  Always something like “here are some goodies, you cog in the Halibushitler war machine…” Hmmm.

  15. gail says:

    Exactly, CraigC, while a ‘94 Caymus Special Selection Cab is more like a woman’s orgasm.

    But only when you have several glasses in rapid succession.

  16. kelly says:

    One glass of this stuff pretty much does the trick, Gail. Trust me.

    Where were you people when I was dating and really needed to know what type of wine makes woman’s pants fly off ?????

    There sooo should be a handbook.

  18. Shinobi says:

    Well you can either support the troops for following orders and hate the war.  Or you can Hate the war and be an evil communist for not supporting our hard working men and women overseas who are risking their lives for your freedom.  So I guess it depends on wether you’d rather be a Nazi or a Commie.

  19. Shinobi says:

    There is one Matt, we just wont give it to you.

  20. gail says:

    I was referring to multiples.

  21. gail says:

    That’s what makes us soooooo special. Otherwise it could be just anybody’s orgasm, y’know.

  22. kelly says:

    I was referring to multiples.

    So was I, Gail. So was I.

  23. me says:

    Braggarts.

    Word: labor. payback.

  24. Claire says:

    because that’s the excuse that Pelosi, et al hope to rely upon if that One Fine Day should come…
