Hey guys, check it out: Bush not only Godwinned, but he compared Bin Laden to Lenin. Awesome.

* Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the U.S. hadn't made an official declaration of war since 1942.

This is the sorta shit you throw back into the face of all your conservative buddies who go on and on about how librulz compare Bush to Hitler all the time. How about we just avoid these references altogether? At least for originality's sake. Pol Pot is feeling neglected.

The problem is that in order to make a Pol Pot analogy, someone has to have the equivalent of scads of Cambodian skulls lying around. Which most people don't.

That didn't stop some very strange individuals for making Pol Pot–ARA comparisons, but it had to do with the anarcho-syndicalist flag more than anything else.

"but it had to do with the anarcho-syndicalist flag more than anything else."

How so?

The Khmer Rouge flag.


The anarcho-syndicalist flag.

They kinda look the same if you don't pay attention to the big white cross thing in the middle. This video just showed a bunch of ARA folks with the anarchist flag, then the Khmer Rouge flag, then a pile of Cambodian skulls, I guess drawing the brilliant conclusion that ARA commits genocide.
