BDS Alert - Stone Equates Bush to Hitler

Ah, the good old days. Remember way back when filmmaker Oliver Stone lamented about his even handed portrayal of George W. Bush in his disappointing new hit piece, W?

"I tried to be fair and balanced and compassionate," Stone said. "I don't take sides. I don't take political sides. I'm a dramatist, and this is the movie I've made."

Yes, that was way back on October 12th, barely a week ago.

Now however, it appears being fair and balanced means comparing the President to someone like, say, Adolf Hitler.

Stone is quoted in the Globe and Mail as saying (emphasis mine):

"I tried to understand Nixon, I would try to understand Hitler, I would try to understand Oedipus. I'm not here to make judgments. Downfall is a great movie about Hitler - God, Bruno Ganz may have made Hitler better than he was, I'm sure he did, but you know what? It gave me a little insight into the banality of evil. Bush is the same thing."

Bush is the same thing, eh? Is he banal? Or evil? Or banally evil?

Either way, what Stone is saying is that by studying another film’s role in portraying Hitler, he was able to gain better insight into George Bush.

He then goes on to charge the President with being a mass murderer:

"I've behaved abominably. I don't think I was a monster, but nobody thinks he is," he says, chuckling. "I probably did hurt people, but not in the way of killing, like George Bush did. On a massive scale - which requires a lack of empathy." .

Oliver Stone, best known for wild conspiracy theories and left leaning beliefs involved in his films, honestly believes he has created a heartfelt drama. But how does one go about creating a heartfelt drama, when the main character in the movie is seemingly comparable to the perpetrator of the Holocaust? At least in the Director’s warped mind.

Textbook Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS).

Textbook BS.

What’s next? Cartoon characters that compare John McCain or Sarah Palin to Hitler?

Poor Oliver...

I guess the crashing failure of his latest piece of celluloid trash must be weighing heavily on him! 

This guy is certifiable... "...I don't take sides. I don't take political sides..." Yeah, right, Ollie.

Where does this deranged loon get the financing to make his movies? You'd think by now, even the leftists in Hollyweird would know a bad risk when they see one. I guess they must like to throw their money away. 

What a yutz.

"...peace is the highest aspiration of the American People. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it, we will never surrender for it, now or ever." President Ronald Reagan, January 20, 1981

How original!  Seriously

How original! 

Seriously though, if Bush was as Hitlerian as the Loony Left thinks, he's doing a pretty bad job of it; seeing as how they're all still running around loose.

Oh bruther

Oliver you're quite the dramatist, no wonder you work in hollyweird.

You are to directors what the National Enquirer is to newspapers. (not that there's that many good media outlets, ironic, isn't it.)

Compassionate?

"I tried to be fair and balanced and compassionate," Stone said."

The advertisement for the movie has the current President of the United States sitting on a toilet.  No Mr. Stone, you produced a smear movie, and by smearing the head of the US, you show how much you hate this country.

 "I tried to be fair and

 "I tried to be fair and balanced and compassionate,"

His follow-up was..."but I failed miserably"

Where ya been,

Where ya been, Ollie????

Comparing Bush to Hitler is SO last year!

mb, You're so right. They

mb,

You're so right. They really do need a new hated despot to compare Bush to. So many are "of color" or communist - which make comparisons politically incorrect. Where are the bad white guys when they need someone? What's a liberal to do?

This comes from the same

This comes from the same deranged guy who suggested to Val Kilmer he use heroin to get into the role of Jim Morrisson!

Jockeying.

I think he's positioning himself to possibly be Barry's pick for Ambassador to Texas. When Texas succeeds, that is. That's just my View.

Or more like Obama's own

Or more like Obama's own private Leni Riefenstahl. Both are/were very dexterous filmmakers.

Reality Is Obama is More Like hitler!

The reality is that the Obama campaign and suck up Media looks more like Hitler and the Nazi Party than anything we've experienced since then!

Watch out for the little Dictator and his SS crew to wipe out all dissent as they destroy our Country!

STOP OBAMA while we can!

Oliver Stone on George W. Bush: "Frankly he would have died."

Oliver Stone was on Bill Maher's show last Wednesday. The Huffington Post has a brief summary of the Maher interview:

"Maher went on to ask Stone which caused greater damage to the U.S., Al Queda or the financial greed machines on Wall Street. Stone went with Al Queda, explaining how Bush played into their hands and made a very emotional decision pressured by his father to go into Iraq. He tried to kill ma daddy!

The line that got a host of cheers from Maher's audience was when he asked Stone what would have happened if Bush had gone to Vietnam. Stone, who dropped out of Yale to serve, said, "Frankly he would have died." Insert audience laughter here."

Here is the YouTube video of Maher's interview with Stone.

"They are actively promoting the decline of America." ~ Rush Limbaugh on liberals and Democrats

and even though it doesnt

and even though it doesnt apply because he is too young ,... how long would Obama have lasted in Vietnam ...How long would he have lasted in the Hanoi Hilton ... maybe he would have done great .. cuz he could have done some community organizing and showed the North Vietnamese how they were doing things wrong

dark_ds: "The Messiah" would have done just fine in Vietnam

Let's assume Barry Hussein Obama was the same age as President Bush and had been sent to Vietnam. He would have not only survived his Vietnam experience, but would have come back a war hero.

Why do I assume this? Because I'm making the additional assumption that since leftist attract their own kind, Obama would have been lucky enough to find John Kerry (who served in Vietnam). Kerry would have shown Barry the ropes, including how to "wound" yourself in order to obtain multiple Purple Hearts so he could leave Vietnam after only three months (Obama would have had more luck than Kerry, who had to spend four long months in Vietnam).

After returning, Barry (along with John Kerry) would have testified before Congress as to his fellow soldiers' atrocities, including raping, torturing and cutting off limbs. This traitorous testimony would be the beginning of the left and the Drive-By media's rapture with Obama.

Finally, with all this "experience" behind him, and with better luck than John Kerry, Barry Hussein Obama would have been the one, rather than John Kerry, to run against George W. Bush.

This remake of history does have a happy ending. George Bush would have kicked Obama's ass, just as he did leftist traitor John Kerry!

Let's hope John McCain is as fortunate as George W. Bush.

END of STORY! Gee, that was fun!

Stone is pissed because

Stone is pissed because Beverly Hills Chihuahua is kicking his crappy movie's butt. 

The movie cost 30 million to make plust the studio is spending 24 million in advertising.  Yet, on its first weekend it only  grossed $10.5 million.  

Meawhile, the other hate America movie,  Body of Lies, is behind further than W.

Hollyweird is not done with rubbing our convervative noses in this crap.  Expect to see one or both of these movies nominated for an Oscar. 

There is Justice

There is Justice isn't there?

Fortunately for us, the

Fortunately for us, the Oscars are declining in prestige making them akin to the Nobel Prizes and the Miss America pageant. Not that many people really care any longer.

Chris... Exactly

Chris...

Exactly right...sad how this has all been degraded by the left in this country isn't it?

I used to look forward to some of this years ago now...now it is all dumb-downed and total leftist with all of their politics inserted.

Sadly, Oliver Stone hasn't been relevant for quite awhile now, except as a bell cow for liberal paranoia. Stone's fatal flaw is that he is so steeped in left-wing politics that his worldview appears to be contained within the parameters of his influential friends.

O. Stone's Masterjunk...

The box office failure "W" isn't changing Americans' mind one bit about G.W. Besides it is irrelevant as he is not running for a "third" term.  Oliver Stone calling Bush Hitler however is below the belt but something we expect out of Hollow-wood crowd.

Stone

Hey Stone! You are a has-been give it up, no-body with any intellegence at all would watch your crap. And another thing, for someone who fed off this country and its people for years, you have some nerve degrading it's President. I for one am pretty sick of this shit. GOT IT JERK. I hope you read this, have a good night.

I've had liberals say Bush

I've had liberals say Bush is Hitler.  I simply tell them that the mere fact that they announce that they think this way only reveals their stupidity regarding what Hitler was.

Okay, and I equate Stone to

Okay, and I equate Stone to Goebbels. I think that's a much more accurate comparison don't you think?

Ollie's financing

I believe ,I read somewhere that he had to get Chinese financing for this epic.....

Stone Deaf?

If anyone could be compared to Adolf Hitler, that would be Barak Obama.  One has to remember how Hitler came to power in the first place, by being an articulate, eloquent and intelligent speaker who managed to seduce an entire country.  Hitler was a Facist, just a stone's throw away from Socialist.

Joseph Goebbels

That is OK .....Stoney is Joseph Goebbels
