15.1.04

WELL: So I've been reading the comments on Yglesias' Bush=Hitler post, as well as the responses to the 'Bush in 2004' in which I involved myself in the argument, and I have sort of a serious question to ask: let's grant the proposition that Bush's policies have been less than stellar (though I'm not entirely prepared to concede this) and that getting him out would be good because Democratic policies would be at least marginally better--this seems like a legitimate set of arguments to me.

Does anyone seriously believe any of the following:

a. Bush's policies will cause irreparable harm to the country (such that a Democratic Congress and President could not at some point step in and reverse the trend)?
b. Bush is actually equatable with a fascist?
