It means you're a fucking dumbass

Squoodgy pantload Ben Stein plays the moron-fearmonger card in the American Expectorator, invokes Hitler:

As I watched the speeches of the victors in the Iowa caucuses, I was stunned at how vague the comments of the candidates were. "Unity." "Change." "Hope." "Faith." What do these words mean besides evoking vague memories of films of Der Fuhrer screaming "Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer" to wild masses at Nuremberg?
OMG!! Yes, what heart-chilling calls to fascism those are! Fucking liberals! Ahhhhhh!

Boy, the Repukes are REALLY getting desperate! There's NUMEROUS meanings and contexts for words like 'unity', 'change', 'hope', 'faith', etc - - and MOST of them are positive. That's the reason why SOME tyrants DO use them -- because they're normally positive words and the tyrant is trying to cover his/her tracks!
It would be SO much easier to point to people like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, etc as being demagogues whom use 'code' words and defile language than to try to draw some far-fetched analogy between US campaign victory/unity speeches by Democrats (which are generally pretty much trite, throw-away verbage) and Hitler Fascism.
Of course in the next breath they'll be calling the Dems "wussies" and "weak on defense" etc? Which is it then -- calculating Fascists or impotent crybabies?
