This is an example of another tactic by Hilter: tell a big enough lie and the
people will believe you.

All Bush and other Republicans have said is that the current laws of the US
protect everyone in a fair and equatible manner, homosexuals included.  
Because the Republican party is strongly against the granting of extra rights
that will make a certain sexual preference a leagl minority does not make them
evil.  Thus, to twist this to mean Bush is just like Hitler is rather lame and
pathetic.  Homosexuals can be this way if they want, Bush has said this.  It 
is just strongly immoral to many Americans that this certain lifestyle 
decision be given more rights and privilages than a hetrosexual lifestyle.

The government under Bush is not going around kicking in the doors and 
rounding up gays to put them into special camps.  Rather, the amount of 
funding for a cure of AIDs became the highest medical funding catagory under
his Administration.  He also had FDA totally re-organize their drug approval
proceedure to speed up the process of getting medicine out for the treatment 
of AIDs.  And just because he will not accept homosexuality as a moral and
right lifestyle makes him just like Hilter is the most absurd thing I have
heard in a long time.

Enough said!
