Then Why Doesn't She Suggest Assassination?The Hitler comparisons continue, only this time
it's Rudy Giuliani getting the mustache treatment.
The rest of the episode goes like this: Ben Gore, a senior Middlebury student from Maryland, wrote an opinion piece, "Giuliani Is a Punk, Un-invite Him," that assailed the former mayor's legacy and referred to him as a "racist," which many students find "morally reprehensible." Though Mr. Gore wrote that Mr. Giuliani was "coming to be considered a fascist," before Sept. 11, he did not take the leap of comparing Mr. Giuliani to Hitler. That was left to the retouched photo that ran next to the column, which depicted Mr. Giuliani with a Hitler-style haircut and mustache giving a Nazi salute.This gets back to what I talked about yesterday, about the spitting on the troops. If the Left really believes what they say they do about our troops, why shouldn't they spit on them? And if the Left really believes that Rudy Giuliani is another Hitler, then why in the world aren't they organizing an assassination attempt?
They ask us to take them seriously, but they don't take their own words and images seriously. In fact, they don't really consider Giuliani to be another Hitler, or that our troops are a bunch of baby-killers. It's just rhetoric intended for short-term political gain. They know they will garner a little attention; if they're lucky they might win
an art award.
By the way, just to engage in some equal opportunity bashing of people who don't really mean what they say, here are
some thoughts about Pat Robertson's recent comments that I heartily endorse.
