Olberman's comparison of the US to 1930's England doesn't ring nearly as true as a comparison to Nazi Germany. The lies of our government don't serve a desperate and unrealistic hope for peace. Instead, our government's lies, like Hitler's, serve to provide cover for war, brutality, and crimes against innocents. Like the Republicans, the Nazis also claimed to be good Christians weilding the sword to protect the Homeland and Civilization from its enemies. The difference between then and now is just a matter of degree. But give it time. We've already got camps. It's not so far fetched to imagine a future Cheney administration awarding contracts leasing Boxcars that takes us all to where work will set us free.
