Rumsfeld Compares Iraq Critics To Communists, Stalinists
Rumsfeld Compares Iraq Critics To Communists, Stalinists
From Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s press briefing today:
Throughout history there have always been those who predict America’s failure just around every corner. At the height of World War II, a prominent U.S. diplomat predicted that democracy was finished in Britain, and probably in America, too. Many Western intellectuals praised Stalin during that period.
For a time, Communism was very much en vogue. It was called Euro-Communism, to try to mute or mask the totalitarian core.
And thankfully the American people are better centered. They ultimately come to the right decisions on big issues. And the future of Iraq is a very big issue.
So those being tossed about by the winds of concern should recall that Americans are a tough lot and will see their commitments through.
Yesterday, White House Deputy Press Secretary Trent Duffy said President Bush “believes that Americans, obviously, have a right to express their views. That’s part of being American. That’s one of the things we’re fighting for.” He left out the part about how, if you do express your views, the Secretary of Defense will call you a Stalinist.

I will see my commitment, of seeing these bastards run out of town, through.
August 23rd, 2005 at 3:59 pmJudd - how does it feel? Liberals have spewing this sh*t for months now and maybe Rummy is tired of it. Don’t call people fascist if you cry about being called Stalin. Get thicker skin.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:00 pm#1 - you did a bang up job of that last year. Gee, you even took senate and House seats away from….. er - oh yeah. Oops, wrong party!
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:00 pmPlease visit the Northeast Dilemma blog sites. He is very lonely, and could use the hits. Thanks.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:03 pmRumsfeld is looking in the mirror again.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:12 pmIt’s uglier than a direct accusation, since implication “if you criticize the war, you criticize America and are a Stalinist” is never explicitly stated, leaving Rummy the out of claiming “I never said that!”
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:13 pmNoreaster -
(it’s also the name for storms blowing from the south into Maine - alot of wind)
If anyone is a Stalinist it is Rumsfeld. He comes the closest, only Cheney beats him on the communist stalinist type thinking. THen of course there’s Der Bush. When he thinks it is in Stalinist fashion.
There are no gray areas with these guys.
Before Stalin died, he fell to the floor from a heart attack if my memory serves me, and no one would go near him for fear they would be blamed for his death, the paranoia was so fearsome. So Stalin lay on the floor for hours without medical help, and he died.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:16 pmHow fitting.
What democracy is Rummy talking about? True democracy may still be alive, but the way he and the rest of BushCo and cultists keep kicking the shit out of it, our speaking out against these traitors may be evidence of democracy’s last throes, so to speak.
And on the topic of speaking out, did you change your diapers yet DilEnema?
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:21 pmI wonder how Saddam’s hand felt when Rummy shook it back in the daze of Ray-gun? Remember? That was when Rummy went to deliver the message that Ray-gun would look the other way with regards to Saddam’s gassing of the Kurds. Yes, yes, Ray-gun tut-tutted around the media that gassing was bad bad bad. But Rummy had a message to deliver and deliver it he did. And Ray-gun lifted not a finger to stop their buddy Saddam.
Now that Saddam is no longer on hand shaking terms with Rummy and others we get word that if you disagree with anything they spew then you must be a [fill in the compassionate conservative word of the day]. And that’s not a good thing to be called. Trust us.
These fools are no better than squabbling kindergarten boys out on the playground. Too bad they never grew up.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:22 pmRumsfeld doth protest too much. He is an idiot, an ass wipe if there evr was one.
At a time when Bush is calling on other countries to quiet their rhetoric in mosques, Robertson makes his idiotic statement, and Rummy thinks that as a citizen he has that right.
I think you are wrong Rumhead. Behind the statement of Robertson I see the fine hand of someone in the Bush camp. Probably Rove called Robertson and put him up to it just to test the waters.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:22 pmJudd, this is a stretch to me. Why didn’t you ask the question of what Amurkans are actually committed to?
BTW, Rummy is talking about Nazi admiring Joe Kennedy, who’s political career went in the toilet when Britain failed to cave in to Hitler. Meanwhile, his political soulmate, Prescott Bush was trading with the Nazis…..
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:23 pmThe word gets tossed around too much,
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:24 pmand one must separate the whole confusion
with the Third Reich, but if you actually
read the definition, “facist” fits the Cheney
administration pretty well.
Rummy’s still rattled by the scolding Ted Kennedy gave him.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:24 pmI think this is one of those things he doesn’t know he doesn’t know.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:28 pmWow, I don’t remember the Republicans being this upset with the past administration. What is this country coming to?
Void of ideas, driven by hate, vote the Democratic Party in 2008
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:29 pmAfterthought, you are absolutely right - the Nazis were fascists, but not all fascists were Nazis. The N word comes out far too often and the F word is not applied right. I would argue that Stalin was also a fascist - my key pointer is that he shut down the Trotskyite Comintern in the end. Interesting debate to be had there.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:30 pmLook at the havoc the Communist supported government in India is wreaking on its poor: the first-ever “Guaranteed Jobs Bill” in human history. Now what’ll the multi-nationals do? Down with the commies!

August 23rd, 2005 at 4:36 pmTerry,
I was going to put Stalin in the “F” camp too,
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:37 pmbut was not secure enough in my history.
Have you read, “Stalingrad The Fateful Siege: 1942-1943″
by Antony Beevor?
I could not put it down once I started it.
They have been exposed and they know it.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:39 pmTheir words now mean nothing and they know it.
They are sinking fast.
In my thirty plus years of association with the US Military I found that every good unit had a designated “Couth Control Officer.” He was that officer who demonstrated set the standard for uncouthness. That standard beyond which no self respecting man would sink. In view of the above I move that we declare DUHbya and Rummy as this administration’s “Truth Control Officer” as it is impossible for any one to have a lesser regard for the truth.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:39 pmCheap shot from a moron. He’ll regret it. Stalin was twice as evil as Hitler. 1/2 as evil as Bush.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:39 pmI won’t be offended by a meat head war criminal.
Keep checkin’ under the seat, NED. You’re a f*ckin’ monkey.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:41 pmDefine Fascism (from google):
A political movement that believes in an extreme form of nationalism: denying individual rights, insisting upon the supremacy of the state, and advocating one-party rule with ultimate authority resting in the hands of a dictator.
http://www.iclasses.org/ assets/ history/ social_studies_glossary.html
Gosh, that sounds an aweful lot like King George Wanker Bush and Company.
At least Hugo Chavez was elected by the people in a democratic election. And when Hugo was forced from office by the ultra-rightists, the people roused themselves to fight back. There may be a lesson for us in this.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:50 pmAT, I’ve covered most of Beevor’s material in the last five years. But I think Rummy’s ‘reds under the bed’ comment is insightful for this reason: he is trying, once again to define the US by whatever it is opposed to. The US has always done this post-WWII lest Amurkans take a close look at themselves instead and decide they don’t like what they see. In true Animal Farm fashion, having a ‘red under the bed’ keeps everyone asking from questions - but this “you are either for us or against us” doctrine is self-defeating, because the world is not like a Gary Cooper western and because being “for us” requires that you don’t ask questions; you don’t question why billions of Muslims, South Americans, Africans, Asians and Europeans like Amurkans but hate your government. And there’s a lot more of them than there are of you and the Iraqi ‘insurgents’ seem to have the idea of how to win. Oh and the Chinese have all your money.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:50 pmInsightful post Terry.
August 23rd, 2005 at 4:57 pmApparently, it is ok to agree with Rumsfeld, and if you do, you are free to say anything you please. If you disagree with him, you are subject to ridicule. Stalin was the same way. He was all for freedom of expression as long as it coincided with his views. Who is looking like Stalin here?
He needs a scapegoat.
Pay your taxes and shut up

August 23rd, 2005 at 5:07 pmWhat short memory you have! Past administrations?
Clinton is still being blamed b your pals for everything that’s wrong under the sun.
Now here’s a really evil dude - Hugo Chavez has created Plan Milagro - to provide free eye surgery to thousands of poor blind people - why if he were a good guy he’d be starting wars, invading countries - what’s wrong with him?

August 23rd, 2005 at 5:11 pmRummy should join Robertson and take the proverbial slow boat to China, disappearing on the horizon.. Those two old farts are too senile to appear in public much less speak. They are dangerous because many people worship their words.
August 23rd, 2005 at 5:14 pmRummy is certainly desperate — agree with him or you are a terrorist or a communist or a fascist. He should look in the mirror to see a fascist, and take a gander at Robertson (the American Taliban) to see a terrorist.
Imagine if the Democrats were ever to utter words as asinine as these guys.
We should all jump on the media to keep the pressure on Rummy - he will crack in public soon - and that will be the sensational story so loved by the MSM.

August 23rd, 2005 at 5:20 pmI found this Fareed Zakaria article yesterday. Neddy says that the left have no plan, nothing to offer, but read this. I find Zakaria to be a very level-headed, clear thinker. I notice he offers no reasons for why US foreign poicy fails or why there is a rise in anti-US behavior, but he draws the conclusion that energy is at the root of it: “we are actively fueling the cause”. At the end I think he shows that he is less of an energy economist than a foreign policy expert because raising the mileage on SUVs is just going to slow the problem down and does not get the cause… http://www.fareedzakaria.com/articles/articles.html

BUSH, EVER THE HYPOCRITE, IS CHIDING PROTESTORS FOR HAVING THE SAME BELIEF HE HAS.
White House Spokesman Trent Duffy, Aug. 23, 2005: “Bush Believes Iraq War Protesters Don’t Want U.S. To Win ‘War on Terror.’”
NBC’s “Today” show, Aug. 30, 2004:
MATT LAUER: “Can we win (the War on Terror)?”
SHRUB: “I DON’T THINK YOU CAN WIN IT. But I think you can create conditions so that the — those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world.”
http://www.cbsnews.com/ stories/ 2004/ 08/ 31/ politics/ main639709.shtml
Retired Gen. Merrill McPeak, former Air Force chief of staff, Aug 30, 2004: “I decided a year ago that we cannot win the war on terror.”
August 23rd, 2005 at 6:40 pm“What democracy is Rummy talking about?”
Of course, Judd once again mischaracterizes the point of the very remarks he quotes. The secretary did not call anyone a communist or a stalinist. In light of all the recent negative press on Iraq, and the premature predicitions of how the American people want to cut and run from Iraq, the Secretary is just pointing out that, historically, the American people have stood up to the enemies of freedom, even when those on the left were urging the easy course of accommodation.
With one exception (Vietnam) that has been true. Iraq will not become “another Vietnam” unless we cut and run, as we did 30 years ago.
August 23rd, 2005 at 6:48 pmSo we need to stay the course, even after 10 years, trillions of dollars, and sixty thousand dead?
August 23rd, 2005 at 7:05 pmBSR,
Srubby was isolationist pre-911.
August 23rd, 2005 at 7:25 pmHe only went imperial when it looked like
he could use the issue politically.
I said Shrub, but Cheney was pulling
the strings it seems. That’s why we
never got Osama bin Forgotten.
Iraq had better targets, so off we went.
The GOP was wailing about Kosovo as well.
The secretary did not call anyone a communist or a stalinist.
And no one is calling you a cowardly chickenhawk, just because you support the war that stretches our reservists and national guard to the limit while you sit comfortably behind a computer.
But the word chickenhawk does come up quite often. You just take it out of context, don’t you?
August 23rd, 2005 at 7:37 pmWe need to stay the course because we are winning. For every loss we have suffered, we have inflicted many times more. We are doing good work there. The morale of our troops is very high. The large majority of the Iraqi people support us, and the duly constituted interim government wants us to stay. Most of the states in the region have quietly established diplomatic relations with that new government.
There is no indigenous terrorist leadership in Iraq. There is no superpower support for the terrorists. There is no popular support for the terrorists. The terrorists are doomed to lose in the long run. Why should we flee from a fight we are destined to win?
“A cynic is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing” - Oscar Wilde
August 23rd, 2005 at 7:40 pmFor every loss we have suffered, we have inflicted many times more.
How is that not like Vietnam?
I guess you think whoever kills the most, wins. Congratulations, you are the terrorists’ best ally.
August 23rd, 2005 at 7:50 pmBSR, Are you talking body counts here?
August 23rd, 2005 at 7:50 pmThat really impresses those of us
who lived through the last quagmire.
BTW, Where did you come with that
fantasy dream, from Judy Miller?
This is really “1984″ — we hear double speak so often now that it is hardly even questioned, except by the damned libruls>
August 23rd, 2005 at 7:56 pmBush contradicts his own words (thanks, TAC) but a year later, similar words spoken by protestors show they want to lose in Iraq.
Rummy says those who disagree with him are communists, fascists, etc.
They are already re-writing history to the degree that there is probably a team in the W.H. basement working on that task. The hipocrites flip-flop daily.
This is one sick and twisted regime in place here, and we will continue to suffer under their ineptitude and dangerous policies unless we can take back the house and impeach them. They are all criminals.
~GARY QUALLS OF “FORT QUALLS” BUMBLES THROUGH VINDICTIVE SHEEHAN SMEAR.
~KEITH OLBERMANN CALLS HIM ON IT.
On MSNBC’s “Countdown” Monday night, Gary Qualls, Cindy Sheehan’s counterpart at the new, pro-war “Fort Qualls” down the road from her, bumbled Homer Simpson-like through a smear against Sheehan. He slimed her for “forsaking” her family while she’s in Crawford:
QUALL: “I‘m not out here all the time…I stay with my family. I haven‘t forsaken them. I will not abandon them…I have not left halfway across the country like Ms. Sheehan has, and she has forsaken her own family. I cannot do that…My priorities and responsibilities as a parent are important.”
Olbermann didn’t think much of Quall’s sliming.
OLBERMANN: “To be fair to her, sir, I mean, her surviving kids are adults, and she went home last week to take care of her mother, who had a stroke. Is that fair of you to say that about her?”
QUALL: (Quall is speechless, and after an embarrassingly long pause, Qualls changes subjects and goes on to make the claim that “Everybody else in her family, they do not even support what she is doing,” which is yet another fabrication.)
Funny thing is, Qualls had hugged and chatted with Sheehan a week earlier, just days before the GOP got hold of him. Here’s the photos:

For more on Quall’s duplicity and political motivations:
http://www.reachm.com/ amstreet/ archives/ 2005/ 08/ 22/ cold-qualls-two
If the Right was looking for an honest, articulate and persuasive mouthpiece to foil Sheehan, they have failed miserably on all counts.
August 23rd, 2005 at 8:17 pmI give up. What drugs are BSR taking? And from whence does he derive his data?
Our guys and the Iraqi recruits are being blown to shit in Iraq. Only the skies are safe (and only relatively so). Everyone knows the “elected” government is a corrupt sham. All oil production has been shut down by the insurgents. Billions are missing. The draft Constitution reads like the Necronomicon. And the whole of history is leaning towards a three-part civil war.
“Stay the Course” is a formula for old women and bedwetters. We need to call this a success, retreat to the 13 permanent bases we’ve built and hope that the REST of Bill Kristol’s plan for US hegemony in Central Asia works out better than “Phase 1.”
August 23rd, 2005 at 8:19 pmHmmmm…. name calling 101. Iraq critics are Stalinists and Communists, not free Americans exercising their right to free speech. I wonder if I can possibly give them some of their own medicine.
Well, lets try it out. Anyone that believes in a war based on 100% lies is an ass-licking nazi! How’s that? Passing grade?
More? Yes, more, more!! Neocons are the equivalent sadistic kiddie rapers (just read about the as yet to be released extra Abu-Ghraib photos and videos to get that one)!
Why does Dick Cheney always seem to be hunched over? Why it might be from Rummie the Rump Roaster!
Admirers of Karl Rove are like prison bull queers, they just love that chubby butt of his.
Anyway, I thought I’d give it a try. Name calling is just a childish cover up for one’s own deficiencies and being human I’ve been guilty of it from time to time also. But I don’t think my name calling ever caused thousands of deaths or did anything to destroy the Bill of Rights.
August 23rd, 2005 at 8:38 pmTAC is there a link to the video of Olberman? I am home sick today and could use a good laugh.
August 23rd, 2005 at 8:52 pmThe fact that Rummy and the other criminals have to make an effort to gain support for the war, proves they have little.
I’m glad Rummy is acting like Pat Robertson. They become targets when they shoot their mouths off.
August 23rd, 2005 at 9:03 pmThe fact is, they can’t defend their decisions so they have to resort to calling us commies.
There’s no pretty way to debate these clowns. If we went along with the program like they say they want, then they would blame us for the problems. Remember the force resolution? As soon as Kerry criticized the war, it was all, “He voted for the use of force!” WMDs? Their answer is, “Look at everyone else who thought they were there!” Nevermind the decision was Bush’s and his alone. Nevermind Bush directed the intelligence and presented the selective findings.
If we agree, then we share blame. If we disagree, then they claim we want America to lose and are to blame for the enemy’s will to fight.
See how that works? Catch-22.
August 23rd, 2005 at 9:43 pmCatch 22. Dr. Strangelove. Has Bush&Co.taken us back to the 60’s? In more ways than one, it appears.
August 23rd, 2005 at 9:55 pmYet, we see them also in Orwell’s 1984.
They are a mutation.
Rummy’s farcical. He’s always talking nonsense, a real empty suit. He’s silly and dangerous at the same time — brought us torture, poor support for our troops in the field all in complete loyalty to King George, whom he compares to George Washington. For a full litany of his inane remarks: http://www.warisaracket.org/rummywatch.html
August 23rd, 2005 at 11:09 pmRumsfeld has a history of being spot on in both his analyses of things that have occurred and predictions of what is to come. With a record like his I am sure all the usual suspects will find more than enough blog fodder contrary to the facts on the ground.

August 23rd, 2005 at 11:13 pmI sense the paranoids here are feeling guilty. You are the people predicting failure every day. Is that not true? And when you can’t defend your position you call us who point it out names like asshole, POS, etc. You hate Bush. You’ve shot your mouth off. You can dish it out but cry foul when it comes your way. This is SO entertaining!
August 23rd, 2005 at 11:15 pmSteed, you need to be a man and go to Iraq. Whats your problem are you a chickenhawk? Dumb question. Your moron breeds insanity and terrorism. Have you forgotten Abu Graib you loser? Wait until the horrific tapes and photos are released. I suppose you will be proud to support the rape and torture of human beings. Something you whine and complain that Saddam has done. You’re a moron, I hope you choke on a pretzel and do our world a favor and disappear. You are useless, you serve no purpose.
I hope that was entertaining you freak!
August 23rd, 2005 at 11:57 pmActually, Steed. The people who predicted failure (and I wasn’t among them until 6 months into the occupation) are so far correct. Those who predicted success (weeks, not months, remember?) are so far wrong.
But hey, things could still turn around for you. I think you should go to Iraq and receive the thanks the Iraqis so desperately want to give you. Take lots of pro-Bush banners to display.
August 24th, 2005 at 12:01 amHe wont go ex-hippie, he’s a chickenhawk and promotes murder, torture and rape. Exactly the things he claims Saddam Hussein is guilty of.
August 24th, 2005 at 12:12 am#7 Sorry but a northeaster does not come from the south, if it did, they’d be a hell of a lot warmer than they are.
August 24th, 2005 at 3:59 am#38 Blue State Red said :
“With one exception (Vietnam) that has been true. Iraq will not become “another Vietnam†unless we cut and run, as we did 30 years ago.”
Wow, that’s dynamite, Blue! Do you mean to say that that we could have actually won Vietnam? Well, we might have run the risk of losing another 55, 000 kids over there, but if we just employed the strategy of unadulterated genocide, we might have won…
Seriously, do you think mass murder is a religious duty? Let me remind you that if the Lancet is even remotely close to the amount of people we’ve so far killed in Iraq (100, 000+), we’ve already killed a third of what Saddam had. AND in under a tenth of the time! You’re right, Blue, we’re winning!
August 24th, 2005 at 4:57 amNo matter how you want to justify it going there and killing all those people and getting saddam out of power in the end got you absolutely nothing. Where are the WMD’s that they said he was sitting on. When this war started there were 2 agenda’s free the iraqi people from the clutches of the tyrant Saddam and find the WMD’s he was hording. Well saddam is not a moot point rotting away in jail. No WMD’s found. I’d say the mission is done unless there was something else that needed to be done but was never disclosed.
Why is questioning this war such a bad thing? President Bush is hardly a perfect man that can do no wrong as is the rest of his cabinet. We become better by questioning and asking why where how and when (I have no idea why this would be a Stalinist stance).
August 24th, 2005 at 7:11 amIf it weren’t for our curious nature we’d still believe the world was flat and that the sun revolved around the earth

August 24th, 2005 at 9:09 amRemember what started all this Iraq stuff? (supposedly)
9/11 ?
Remember Osama bin Laden?
Remember this -
“The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him.”- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01
How about this -
“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
Where is Bin Laden?
August 24th, 2005 at 10:03 amWhy doesn’t Bush care about the leader of Al Qaeda?
Whu did Bush lie when he said “It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him.”?
Why do you support this Dickhead. (You know who you are)
Excuse me people, didn’t 9/11 happen during the Bush watch (vacation)? haven’t all the Bush bunch said under oath they didn’t know it was coming.? Isn’t the Bush and BenLauden bunch closely related through big business dealings and large BarBQ’s.? Do we forget Bandar Bush to name one and what about all the jet’s that left full of the foreign dignataries when American family members coulden’t get off the ground. Let’s see we now have over 1870 of our best killed, en excess of 10,000 wounded and fighting for medical care at home, over 100,000 men, women and children in Iraq killed and add to that 3,000 from 9/11. Our country is devided with shouts of war and kill from the extreme right, some profesed christians and peace justice, freedom and tolerance from some of the left. Our verbal in fighting is just what the politicians want as they creep around taking away our rights and emptying our pockets to fill their ever demanding greed for wealth and power. All the while people of great value are dieing. Our country is in financial ruen, job’s and fuel are dwindeling and the foreign powers own us. Instead of fighting and name calling each other how about standing up to the people that cause the problems and demanding full accounts, when we don’t like the answers, boot them out of office. How about a common cause, caring for our troops even when we don’t want this dreadful Bush war would be a good start. And stop condeming people in grief for their views. They have the moral high ground here, not a person who ducked out on their service with lies and influance.
August 24th, 2005 at 3:55 pmI READ THIS ARTICAL AND IT MADE ME FEEL SO GOOD. I HOPE THE WHOLE WORLD COULD READ IT. IWISH THAT THIS ARTICAL COULD BE HANDED OUT TO EVERY AMERICAN AND SAY PLEASE READ IT, IF THAT WERE DONE WE COULD RIDE THESE BASTARDS OUT OF THIS COUNTRY ON A RAIL. THESE PEOPLE ARE SICK ,SICK ,SICK. “THEY SCREWED UP THE WHOLE WORLD.”
August 24th, 2005 at 5:42 pmYeah? Is that right? Rummy compares Iraq critics to “Communists” and “Stalinists”??
Well, Rummy, I compare you and your boss to Hitler, Goebbels, Goering and the whole Nazi organization.And it isn’t just flaming words either. This country’s Bill of Rights has suffered some major hits and under the guise of security. If that be so, then why are you and your pals doing nothing down on our Southwest border?
August 24th, 2005 at 6:39 pm[…] Think Progress, the blog of the Center for American Progress, has an interesting tidbit about Rummy calling the anti-war movement a bunch of Commies and Stalinists. […]
