He doesn't just stop at comparing Bush to Hitler (honestly, this one is getting old...is it because liberals have such a limited knowledge of history that they can only think of Hitler to compare Bush to? How about Stalin? Mussolini? Attila the Hun? Really, variety is the spice of life!). Here are a few of Bennish's other choice themes.
*He suggests that the U.S. has no right to destroy Columbian drug fields and suggests that the Peruvians, Iranians and Chinese have the right to drop chemical weapons over North Carolina to destroy the tobacco fields.
*He says that the economic system of capitalism is at odds with humanity and human rights. (Huh...which economic system does he think is aligned with human rights?)
*He says that the U.S. is the single most violent nation on the planet.
*He suggests that the United States is deliberately killing innocent people.
*He says that we want to keep the world divided. He calls the CIA dirty minds and dirty tricks who want to kill people just for the sake of killing people.
*He accuses the U.S. of over 7,000 terrorist attacks against Cuba.
*He suggests that when Al Qaeda attacked America, in their view, they were not attacking innocent people. He suggests that the World Trade Center was a legitimate military target, because it housed FBI offices and "huge multinational corporations that are directly involved in the military industrial complex in supporting corrupt dictatorships in the Middle East....people with blood on their hands, as far as they (Al Qaeda) are concerned."
And here's a great quote, near the end of the tirade...
Here's the real homeland security (I assume that here he points to either a map of the U.S. or the U.S. flag), fighting terrorism since 1492, I mean, to many Native Americans, that flag is no different than the Nazi flag or the Confederate flag. It represents the people that came and stole their land, lied, brought disease, raped, pillaged, destruction, etc. So it all depends upon various peoples' perceptions.
You can hear the audio of the entire rant at Charlie Sykes's weblog. You have to listen to Bennish's tone of voice--the mere transcript (developing at Michelle Malkin) doesn't do it justice.
Student Sean Allen shows amazing restraint and maturity for a sixteen year old. He is the lone voice of dissent in a class full of seemingly brainwashed automatons (or kids too intimidated to argue).
I would be hopping mad at the thought of my son or daughter having to sit through this tirade, while this guy is being paid by the taxpayers to teach geography.
Check out Slapstick Politics for some other interesting info, as well as another student who had Bennish for an American history class.
