The Media Research Center reports that NBC is clanging the 'Bush=Hitler' bell pretty hard.
From Egypt, Fred Francis declared: "In the Arab street and much of the world, outrage has produced a consensus: Rumsfeld must go. In Egypt Marabak Molson [spelling not on screen and so a phonetic guess], considered a moderate journalist [video of her anchoring a TV newscast], says Arabs reject the Rumsfeld apology that still seemed more arrogant than contrite."I'm always amazed at how quick people are to make a Hitler comparison. If Bush really was Hitler, Brokaw would be in a concentration camp, and NBC would be parroting jingoism instead of waging their anti-American, anti-Bush campaign.Molson [sp?]: "He is reminding me of a sort of neo-Nazi character who's coming back to life and anything which is not American is wrong."
Francis: "In Cairo, anti-U.S. sentiment is so strong many here see no difference here between the actions of Saddam Hussein and George Bush..."
Moving on to Germany, Francis passed along this soundbite from Dr. Jurgen Falter of the University of Mainz: "There have to be total structural reform and total transparency in regard to the tortures and regard to what's going on in Iraq."
Francis added, as he walked through a Cairo marketplace: "Like the new prison picture from Iraq of attacking dogs, prompting one Arab businessman to say, 'that is not Jeffersonian democracy. It's more like a lesson from Hitler's book, Mein Kampf.' Many more Arabs here are saying the U.S. must quit Iraq..."
