It is, on it's face, a very stupid and thoughtless bullsh!t line.

but then on the other hand, its a very real appropriate analysis of the current administration.

You're forgetting that the long term memory of most Americans reaches a maximum of ten years. No one cares to remember our policies from anything predating Desert Storm.

How can that be possible with Hitler TV (History Channel) on 24/7?

Really? How so? Our current admin had done very little internationally before 9/11, and we were still attacked.

If you're being attacked, there are only two options for peace: fight back or surrender.

No, this is the United States. You can say whatever you want but some of it might get you in trouble.

Still, not accurate.

Try this:

This is the US, you can say whatever you want, but you will have no immunity from the social consequences of your speech.

No, this is AnandTech. You can say whatever you want as long as the Mods are ok with it.
