Quote from: AJF on March 03, 2007, 12:18:38 PMIs there something particularly offensive about calling someone something that he/she obviously is not? Edwards is married with kids. Despite his fantastic hair, everyone, even Ann, knows hes not gay. Sooo she called him a faggot, people call Bush a nazi and war crimminal all the time, both equally untrue statements. Will you all get up an arms about such comments that serve only to cheapen the severity of the holocaust?Bush is a war criminal, though.

Quote from: bluewarrior on March 22, 2007, 11:07:01 PM"the 911 Commander-in-Chief"I think to compare Washington to Bush is a tad misguided...For starters, the American Revolution was about representation for (what would become) the US. Iraq was first about WMD, then about Saddam Hussein, then about Iraqi Freedom(c). W could learn a lesson or two from Washington's cherry tree incident.

You know who else used a terrorist event to seize unprecedented power, stomp on civil liberties, and invade other nations? Hitler. Maybe the people AJF mentioned weren't so far off, huh?
Saw dashrashi's LSN site. Since she seems to use profanity, one could say that HYP does not necessarily mean class or refinement.
Comparisons like that are always rhetorical and I wouldn't recommend getting too het up over them.
