The way I see it, a bunch of people have been talking about how we (the average person) seem to react more to people being gassed to death than to bombs being dropped. Like we are accustomed to the bombs, or I suggested people are more fearful of gas, because it’s something that feels like you can’t fight back against. You can’t take out your gun and kill it, or run away and hope the bullet misses you. There was a Q on fluther about it.
Anyway, I don’t know if it’s the dems or the republicans, or both who have been talking about people being gassed to death, but obviously Spicer’s comment was trying to get in with that conversation, and he totally screwed it up by bringing Hitler into it, because obviously Hitler gassed people to death.
I do understand what Spicer was trying to get at, not that I give a shit about that as an explanation for our reaction to the events, and I am exhausted from the left wing picking on every little thing that is said, and I’m tired of it from the right wing also. In this case he really did say an idiot thing, which is historically incorrect, but in other cases it’s just overblown to often in our media today. All media, all sides.
