Originally Posted By mele That story barely registered with me, Dabob, because I knew Stewart and/or Colbert would handle it oh-so nicely. No need to get mad...just wait for the impending hilarity.

People definitely need to back off the stupid comparisons. But that better not stop us from considering the possibility that it could happen again. Seriously ... if the economy is about to do what a lot of us think it's about to do, then we, right here in the good ol' USA, will have most of the ingredients in place that existed in Weimar Germany, including our very own paranoid nut-job nationalist fringe party. You better speak up about Nazis if that happens ... while you still can. >> … there is no discharge in the war. You are on probation only — you and the faces you dreamed about, and the rest of us. Henceforward we must do a little civil thinking every day, and not pass up the front page for the sports page as we did before. Vigilance pays interest and compounds into peace…. Peace is never granted outright; it is lent and leased. You can win a war today and lose a peace tomorrow<< Norman Corwin, "On a Note of Triumph" 1945 (If you've never heard that program, it's a very worthwhile way to spend an hour: <a href="http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=4668028&m=4668044" target="_blank">http://www.npr.org/player/v2/m...=4668044</a> )
