Another Hammerhead

I received this comment from one Timothy Clarke from an older, sallow post of mine, and I wish to share it with you:

In 1991 during the desert storm thing, I was going around referring to all middle easterners as towelheads (or worse). I later wondered why I was full of hate for an entire race that had no influence or effect on my life at all. I eventually realized that I had (along with the majority of Americans) been brainwashed to mistrust and hate Arabs. The media slanted all of its reporting to make it seem as though all the worlds problems were the fault of Islamic fundamentalists. That was then. Today the government is waging an all out propaganda war on the Arab Islamic world in order to justify taking over oil rich countries that happen to be Islamic. The true tragedy is the gullibility of the average American (myself included) to believe that a couple dozen Arab nutcases represent the entire Muslim community. We have been systematically brainwashed by our government through the media that is apparently controlled by it, to support any kind of action against Arab Islamist countries in spite of the logical fact that the majority of them are not nutcases.
The situation is exactly like that of 1940 Germany when an entire innocent German population was convinced by their lying government that Jews were the cause of all of their problems. The result, then, was that German people stood by and watched as millions of innocent Jews were interred, and ultimately murdered.
I remember the German population with some disdain for their lack of action in the 40's.
At least inform yourselves of the facts before you sign your name to a very similar holocost in your lifetime, and with your consent, lest history remember you with the same disdain.

My response? Bush = Hitler? Do me a favor, Timothy. Please go fuck yourself, lest you procreate. And I mean that sincerely, with all the love I can muster.
