Reply #31: I am, in fact, one of those who objects loudly to frivolous comparisons [View All]

The fact that Prescott Bush lent money to Hitler and his Reich doesn't even make Pescott Bush a Nazi, let alone his grandson, although I've seen that argued here; a man of poor moral judgment, definitely, but not necessarily a card-carrying Nazi. As for your favorite Frat Boy and mine, he can rise and fall on his own moral deficiencies, independent of his grandfather's. His grandfather did not lead a country into war by telling a pack of willful lies. Frankly, I'd rather go before a just God guilty of nothing more than lending money to Hitler than that.

The proposal Mr. Allen makes in Alabama, however, is an attempt to say that a class of people, because they are of that class, cannot create anything of value to civilization. That is very much like the Jewish laws of the Third Reich I described above. The narrow-mindedness behind the proposition is astounding.

I am numb to believe that this could happen in America.
