Krem could stomach a sidekick. Chipmunky, on the other hand, would simply be outshone.

That. Caius already explained why.


They are valid comparisons. Logically they are correct. Maybe not to a certain degree, but at it's core, they are correct.

Is that not the point of a sidekick?

They may be valid, but are they VERY valid?

Kidding aside, no, they're not valid. If you look at the surface only, you can compare anyone to Hitler. Obama has (or had) a very magnetic pool over audiences without say much of anything. Does that make him Hitler? No, unless he also believes in things that made Hitler Hitler.

How can you possibly say they are not valid without knowing the comments?

Because I've heard it all before.

Unless you're talking about other tyrants, comparisons to Hitler are not justified.

But feel free to post them if you want me to dissect them.

Also, while 99% of this site is sarcastic and not serious, everyone takes my comments pure. What's the deal with that shit? When have I ever been serious on this fucking site?

Are you trying to say you were sarcastic with your comment about Beck? Then you failed at being sarcastic instead of at being insightful. Take your pick.

And for your enjoyment:

Quote:
Beck, like Hitler, also had the backing of rich industrialists (the Koch brothers) supporting him for their own agenda.


Quote:
Beck is an egomaniac, but a smart egomaniac, like Hitler. As economy worsens he will only gain more followers.


Quote:
Is there going to be blood in the streets like Hitler? No. Is Beck going to invade other countries? No. But domestic goal is the same: Reduce a large swath of the country into dust after relentlessly targeting them as God haters, unpatriotic, ruining American values.


Quote:
Beck has now begin to believe he is the messiah and savior. And he has bully pulpit larger than Hitler times a thousand.


Quote:
Why is Beck scary? Because he disguised yesterday's event as some religious revival as a way of gathering his masses.

As does Barack Obama and any other politician.

As is Barack Obama.

Really? That's Beck's goal? Wow! The man is a menace to society and must be stopped at all costs!

Oh wait. Let me look around. Nope, that's not really his goal.

Oh no! Beck is scary because he gathers masses! Someone call the New York Marathon office!

Sarcasm is not appreciated.

And it's one person gathering masses for one cause. Not a marathon. Two completely different things.

It's hard not to take these quotes sarcastically.

Jay Z can gather 90K+ to preach hate? Show me.

Who said Glenn Beck preached hate?

And Jay-Z can easily gather 90,000 people at his shows. Earlier this year he performed in front of 225,000 people at Coachella.

They weren't there for him.

And Glenn Beck DOES preach hate. That's not an opinion.

Beck himself isn't creepy, it's more his angry followers and ilk. I'm not going to be surprised if another OKC-type bombing happens and it's perpetuated by some Teahadist.

Yay, presumed guilt by association (in the future no less).

You continue to display astounding leaps of logic.

All you ever post is sarcastic comments with no value.

I most certainly do not. I do employ sarcasm sometimes, but only to show the ridiculousness of some people's arguments.

For instance, my response to Jon was to meant to show highlight the fact that it's rather illogical to believe that Glenn Beck's fans can be reasonably assumed to harbor terrorist tendencies any more than an average American.
