Former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.) said in an interview Monday that he would personally kill an infant Adolf Hitler.
“Hell yeah, I would!” he told The Huffington Post when asked about killing the Nazi leader as a baby.
“You gotta step up, man,” the 2016 GOP presidential candidate said. "That would be key."
“The problem with going back in history and doing that, as we know from the series -- what’s the series with Michael J. Fox called? The ‘Back to the Future’ series -- is that it could have a dangerous effect on everything else,” Bush added. "But I’d do it. I mean -- [it is] Hitler.”
Actually he is not technically "Hitler."
I mean yes his last name would still be Hitler but he would not yet have gone through the life experiences that ultimately made him a monster.
Killing a baby because you know he will be a mass murderer someday may seem like a no-brainer, but if you consider what that would mean about you as a person it should give you pause.
I mean taking a life to protect the life of others is a difficulty decision on its own, but killing a baby because you believe it may someday cause great misery and loss of life, well that it another thing altogether.
Besides let's fact it. Jeb! is a Bush.
The Bush family does not do their own dirty work.
If anything Jeb?%$! would more than likely delegate the job to somebody else.
Probably Dick Cheney. Somehow I have NO doubt that HE could crush a baby's skull without losing one damn night of sleep over it.
Heck yeah, a baby is small potatoes to them.
ReplyDeleteThey mass murdered almost 3000 on 9/11.
I think it is incredibly telling that Jeb's answer WASN'T "I would adopt him and nurture him and make sure he had good guidance and education so he wouldn't turn out evil.
DeleteNah, too much work. Easier to just snuff him. Gotta step up and murder a baby!
What a hypocrite.

DeleteAnon @ 3:19 pm... Not too many may get this, but you have a very valid point.
DeleteHe's a Bush and this is called a pre-emptive strike. We did it in Iraq with stupendous results--Mission Accomplished! What could possibly go wrong?
ReplyDeletepre-emptive strike

ShockandAwe... watched from afar. Bastids!
DeleteSo Jeb! thinks it's okay to murder a child but not let a brain-dead woman be removed from life support. Jeb! is turning out to be a Palinesque moron.
ReplyDeleteThere's intelligence going on in Jeb!'s brain. I can see it in his eyes in the photos.
DeleteDon't even get me going on the Terry Shiavo disaster.
DeleteNeither the woman nor her husband deserved to be used by dogmatic wrong wingers.
'Better off if you stab someone?'

If stabbing someone, your mother better yet, is a Republican vote get, think of what killing babies can do for a candidate!

Old Prescott Bush was in financial cahoots with the Nazis.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Jeb should rethink this whole "kill Hitler" plan. Without Hitler, Jeb might be selling cars right now.
Oops! Sarah is going to have to start the public whining again.

'Palin is not the only reason for the Republican Party's dysfunction, but her toxic lip lock is evident in the hapless 2016 presidential campaign.'
DeleteToxic lip lock. That's a really good one!
The question should have been "...would you kill baby DIck Cheney or baby George W Bush"?
ReplyDeleteWow!! Had not thought along those lines. I think many of us could think of others to add to that short list!!

Wasn't the Bush family all snuggly with Hitler and the Nazis?
ReplyDeleteYep. Until George H. W. joined the military where he served most honorably. I've wondered if he was embarrassed by the isolationist, pro-Hitler behavior of his family elders. We'll never know. Families like the Bush family do not like to speak frankly about themselves. Even when Papa Bush criticized George W.'s advisors he was careful to insist that he was not criticizing his son.
DeleteBeaglemom
Jeb! ... ever think how many people would want to go back in time to kill baby W.?
ReplyDelete"Jeb?%$!"
ReplyDeleteL.M.A.O!!!
Ya, the shrubs don't dirty their hands. But chainey would prolly get a stiffie at the prospect.
Hitler was a decent artist. His watercolors show attention to detail, with nice handling of light and color.
ReplyDeleteHe never would have been great, however, he could have had a lucrative career as an illustrator. With mentoring, he might have been able to bring some passion into his work, enough for gallery shows and sales.
Instead of strangling a babe in its cradle, an enlightened time-traveler would have supported his artistic endeavors. He would have joined Kincaid and Keene, rather than Stalin and Pol Pot.
I have seen some of his artwork - pretty much pathetic.
DeletePerhaps it was a desire of his to be an artist - but certainly needed some tutoring and a mentor.
Pat Padrnos
A decent artist? Oh please. Compared to who?
DeleteI can't believe the stupid sh*t the Rethuglican candidates say. Every day, it gets more and more stupid. I think they can't go lower, but they do, sadly.
ReplyDeleteI say happily -- let them show their true colors and depth of shallowness, their callousness, their willful ignorance, expose their stupid lies to ridicule... Another 12 months of this and they will all have to step down as contenders.
DeleteSo Baby Hitler dies; that doesn't change the meat grinders that were to come, from WWI all the way through the mass murders that were committed all the way up to NYEve 2000 and since. If Hitler hadn't existed, some other monster ego would have stepped up.
ReplyDeleteMankind is not easily deterred from murder.
Stalin would have steam rolled across Europe and we'd be speaking Russian to the British right now.
DeleteHe'd kill a live baby but no way would he let Hitler's mom use a morning after pill or get an abortion....
ReplyDeleteUh oh... Someone's been told to get his big boy Under Roos on swagger all tough and all. Big boy Jebbie is gonna get all in Rubio's face tonite and talk all cowboy tough! 'Bring it on.' Be the 'decider.' Won't work. Jebbie is toast.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
Delete"You gotta step up, man."
What a joke
Jeb! missed his chance to do anal feedings at Gitmo.
DeleteIn that photo above his body must look like a toasted marshmallow under that golf shirt.

No one is wholly a bad person. Everyone has the potential to do bad things. Everyone has the potential to reform their ways. No one should be judged. It takes a low person to spend their life hating someone they will never meet. It takes a lower person to Form opinions about strangers
ReplyDeleteI want to hear how one of the Democrats would answer that question
Read several of the posts above for your answer, troll.
DeleteI don't get how they're a troll. From a psychological perspective, Hitler is fascinating. he was artistic and intelligent and had a lot of friends. He didn't become introduced to anti-semitism until he moved to Vienna and heard Georg von Schonerer and Karl Lueger. One has to wonder -- if he had never moved to Vienna, would he have "become Hitler" (as history remembers him). What if he had been accepted into art school?
DeleteThe whole "would you kill Hitler" question is stupid as it is. It'd be more interesting to hear "what would you do to stop Hitler from wreaking havok on the world?" I have the feeling most of the candidates don't know enough history to answer that, though.

Delete"It takes a lower person to Form opinions about strangers "
DeleteDo you really not see it? Really?
[you're forming opinions about strangers]
When the candidate's talk devolves to Hitler, they are toast. Face it jeb!, you are yesterdays news.
ReplyDeleteRemember jebbie your grandpa Prescott was buddy buddy with Hitler and the Nazis.
Is there no place these R assholes won't go? Maybe back to the past for all of them with no return trip?

I am horrified by this Hitler baby thing. But I am even more horrified and embarrassed that the whole world is watching these candidates for President show their utter stupidity and complete lack of readiness for any public position much less POTUS.
ReplyDeleteYep -- they are confirming the world's opinion of America and are probably surprised the debate doesn't involve O.K. Corral gunfights. Now there's an idea to get ratings.
DeleteBut it's being shown on-line -- who will watch it?
Key follow up question: then would you abort Hitler before he was born?
ReplyDeleteYup.
DeleteNope, Jeb! is prolife before birth and after brain death.
Deletedowl
I agree that the current pres candidates are an embarrassment to us all. But I would go further still, I think it is a national security issue because the rest of the world thinks we are all as stupid and therefore incapable of competing on a global level any longer.
ReplyDeleteHow in the hell did this ever become a political question???
ReplyDeleteFirst off - (snark on) why do the republicans hate Israel? (snark off) The state of Israel might not have become the state of Israel if it weren't for the atrocities committed by Hitler and his stasi goon squads. It was the mass exodus of Jews from Europe who helped form Israel as we know it today. A horrific way to become a country, yes, but it might not have happened - or not in the same time frame - any other way. Tragically, we will never know because, well, no one did anything about Hitler - baby or otherwise - until it was far too late. I would like to think it was because the world thought no one could be that evil but I'm probably given politicians too much credit.
Second: 10:15 look up sociopath in the dictionary.
As a fully functioning Democrat (capital D!) I would like to think that I would remove the child from the environment first to see if the nature vs nurture argument applied. I would hope, like the 9:49 above, that by encouraging his artistic abilities, he might have turned out differently (nurture). If that turned out to not be the case(nature), at least he would not have been in the position to join the army.....
jmho-fwiw
Gee, Hitler was an artist and his actions caused innocent people to die. And Jeb admits he'd hill a baby? Wonder how he'd feel if they substituted another great artist and mastermind of killing innocent people, His brother, President George W. Bush?
ReplyDeleteThis is do or die for poor Jebbie, if he doesn't really stand out in tonight's debate, it's time to pull the plug.
The fact that the man would even entertain such an absurd question, that he would not only dignify it with an answer but also use a piece of pop culture fiction to lend it some supposed gravitas shows the level of insight this dullard possesses. Can you imagine Dick Nixon's reaction to such twaddle? Bill Clinton's? Jack Kennedy's? William F Buckley? This is their idea of a man with a plan? Unfuckingbelievable.
ReplyDeletePro life advocates supporting killing a child due to concerns about how the child will turn out. Imagine if Adult Hitler had raped and impregnated women. Would it be ok for those women to abort child of Hitler resulting from rape? Charles Manson did impregnate a lot of women through rape. What if those women didn't feel that they could make lemonade out of the rape and didn't want to feel their rapist's child grow in them for 9 months?
