In Meeting With Atheists, Rep. Ellison Compares President Bush to Hitler

Monday, July 16, 2007

 

Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, is

defending himself Monday after comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler and

leaving the impression the administration may have rigged the Sept. 11,

2001, terror attacks.

 

Speaking to an atheist group on July 8, Ellison said that the president

acted much the way Hitler did when the Reichstag, or German Parliament

building, was burned in 1933 ahead of elections that pitted Hitler's Nazi

Party against others, including the Communists. Hitler, who was suspected of

ordering the fire, declared emergency powers that helped him launch his

dictatorial and murderous reign.

 

"It's almost like the Reichstag fire, kind of reminds me of that," Ellison

told the group, according to The Minneapolis Star Tribune. "After the

Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it and it put the

leader of that country [Hitler] in a position where he could basically have

authority to do whatever he wanted."

During his speech, Ellison went on to tell the 350-member Atheists for Human

Rights: "I'm not saying [sept. 11] was a [u.S.] plan, or anything like that,

because, you know, that's how they put you in the nut-ball box - dismiss

you."

 

Later in the week, Ellison told one of the newspaper's columnists that he

thinks Usama bin Laden - not the Bush administration - was responsible for

the attacks. On Monday he suggested the administration's response to Sept.

11 was one of "fear and rage."

 

"Obviously, Usama bin Laden and the hijackers who carried out the murderous

events are responsible for 9/11. The question is, however, how do we respond

to this tragedy? With fear and rage? Or with courage and reason? I'm for

courage and reason," Ellison said in a statement.

 

"This means that in the aftermath of 9/11, instead of invading Iraq,

President Bush should have responded militarily where necessary, but even

more so, diplomatically, and with all of our intelligence resources," he

added.

 

In both his speech to the atheist group and his statement Monday, Ellison,

who has co-signed a bill to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney, said that

civil liberties and religious tolerance have eroded since Sept. 11, that the

president has squandered international good will, and that the U.S. image

abroad has been shattered by "the taint" of Iraq, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay

detentions and Patriot Act violations, among other issues.

 

"If the president had embraced the good will of the post 9/11 world to

marshal an international effort to eliminate the terrorist cells responsible

for this heinous act, we wouldn't be mired in a five-year war. We could have

effectively eliminated Al Qaeda instead of creating a virtual recruiting

station for them in Iraq," he said.

Perhaps if Bush and the Neo-Cons didn't act so much like Nazis, they

wouldn't draw such comparisions.

 

Same with rightards like you....
