“Lately we’re being told that it’s either (a) inappropriate or (b) untrue to refer to Bush’s illegitimate junta as Nazi, neo-Nazi, or neofascist. Because, you know, you’re not necessarily a Nazi just because you seize power like one, take advantage of a national Reichstag Fire-like tragedy like one, build concentration and death camps like one, start unprovoked wars like one, Red-bait your liberal opponents like one or create a national security apparatus that behaves like something a Nazi would create and even has a Nazi-sounding name. . . Of course there are differences [between the Bush administration and Hitler]. Hitler, for example, was legally elected . . . I’ll be happy to stop comparing Bush to Hitler when he stops acting like him.”

“George Bush is not Hitler. He would be, if he f***ing applied himself.”

“It is like some sort of weird, painful rash on your face that makes you embarrassed to walk out the door, and so you sit there day after day, waiting for it to go away, slathering on ointment and Bactine and scotch. And still it lingers. Some days the pain is so searing and hot you want to cut off your own head with a nail file. Other days it is numb and pain-free and seemingly OK, to the point where you think it might finally be all gone and you allow yourself a whisper of a positive feeling, right up until you look in the mirror, and scream. George W. Bush is just like that. Everyone I know has had enough. Everyone I know is just about done. There is this threshold of deadened disgust, this point where the body simply resigns itself to the pain, where the disease, the poison, has seeped so deeply into the bones that you just have to laugh and shrug it all off and go for a drink. Or ten.”

“In [Iran] there is a democratically elected government. If you ask me, [President] Khatami has more clear legitimacy than Bush does.”
- Hamid Dabashi
“[President Bush is] the biggest terrorist in the world, [. . . a] lying bastard, [. . . an] evil maniac [who is guilty of] blatant genocide, [. . . and a] fuehrer [who is] waging a nuclear war in Iraq.”
- Cindy Sheehan
“If George Bush truly listened to God and read the words of the Christ, Iraq and the devastation in New Orleans would have never happened.”
- Cindy Sheehan
“[Christopher Columbus] makes Hitler look like a juvenile delinquent [by comparison].”
- Russell Means
