CNN Video from 2006: Bush With Hitler Mustache? No Outrage; Called A 'Look-Alike'



The media are currently apoplectic about the Obama-as-Hitler references at town hall meetings across the country. But this collective media outrage at references to the President as Der Fuhrer is a new development.

Back in the George W. Bush days, the Jurrasic Press was far less reviled by the often made Bush-as-Hitler comparisons, and indeed some saw similarites.

As you can see in this CNN clip from January 13, 2006 by Ms. Roesgen reporting from New Orleans on Hurricane Katrina. During which she says, in reference to a man in a giant Bush head with a Hitler mustache (and devil horns):

"City officials say more money is needed to fix the levees, and they hoped the President would stop by after his meeting with business leaders. But while a look-alike showed up with a wad of cash, Mr. Bush did not."

"Look-alike?" Where's the outrage? Where's the indignation?

Like LaRouche today, these were Leftists making the comparison. And the media didn't seem to mind.
