AUDub 11,131 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 How stupid can you get? Quote WASHINGTON — Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, set off an intense backlash on Tuesday when he suggested that President Bashar al-Assad of Syria was worse than Hitler and said incorrectly that Hitler had not used chemical weapons during World War II or against his own people. Mr. Spicer was attempting to lend gravity to the actions of Mr. Assad, who United States officials believe used sarin gas, a lethal chemical weapon, in an attack on a rebel-held area of Idlib Province last week that killed dozens Hitler?! What kind of blithering idiot brings up Hitler?! That's PR 101! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 1,984 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Why would we expect anything different from this administration. Bannon's Breitbart has actively solicited Holocaust deniers to join its cause, other policy advisors like Joseph Schmitz are known anti-Semitic sympathizers, the White House official statements on Holocaust Remembrance Day, a statement defended by Priebus. And as we all know, this and the other military provocations currently under way, are really just a typical Republican ploy to distract from their horrific domestic policies -- let's do war and rally the "patriots" behind the struggling administration.

AURaptor 1,121 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 First guess is that Spicer is in over his head. That's the most likely answer. Or... he could have overtly trying to ' dis 'Hitler, there by undercutting the claims that Trump is Nazi friendly, while also slying insulting Putin, who supports Assad. Either way, Spicer was clearly off his game. This is being over blown, of course, but the inartful and frankly amateur way in which he " apologized " was less than stellar, imo.

That's flat out absurd. I think you're confusing fantasy for fact. Yes, Bannon has said that Breitbart has given some of the Alt-Right a forum to speak , but that isn't by any stretch the same as condoning Holocaust deniers. David Hororwitz supports Bannon , and vouches that he's no anti-Semite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Yep ..time for Spicer to go.....when you have to come back and explain what you meant over and over as a Press Secretary.....you are definitely in the wrong job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to think it's a combination of "in over his head" and "given the impossible task of explaining idiotic statements and actions from this administration." His job is monumentally harder than anything the press secretaries for Obama, W., Clinton, Bush or Reagan had to do. And to make matters worse, he's wholly inadequate to the task.

Agree but he gave a no excuse apology and I was impressed with it. But between he and Ben Carson the administration is woefully inadequate in history. It will only get worse.

He is a prominent scholar on United States constitutional law and criminal law,[1][2] and a leading defender of civil liberties.[1][3] He spent most of his career at Harvard Law School where in 1967, at the age of 28, he became the youngest full professor of law in its history. He held the Felix Frankfurter professorship there from 1993[4] until his retirement in December 2013.[5] He is now a regular CNN contributor and political analyst. Dershowitz has been involved in several legal cases and is a commentator on the Arab–Israeli conflict.[6] As a criminal appellate lawyer, he has won 13 of the 15 murder and attempted murder cases he has handled........

He is. Dershowitz, the "civil liberties lawyer," has the gall to not only argue in favor of legalizing torture, he also outright lies about Israel's use of it, which they freely admit to. Dershowitz, the "civil liberties lawyer," also fully supported the NSA's data collection and outright attacked Greenwald and and Snowden. Greenwald because he simply suggested everyone accused of a crime was entitled to a fair trial. This is the "great legal mind" you want to hang your hat on? LOL. He might have been a great procedural attorney, but he is an utter failure as a pundit. **** him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
