I've said it before and will say it again. The belly aching bothered me for a long time, now it amuses me.

I am more worried about current events with his staff. Trump may or may not do well but several member of his key staff seem to be idiots. Spicer is a f-ing joke who cannot get simple facts right and then gets butthurt when you call him on it. The Hitler comments about not gassing people the other day were jsut the icing on the cake.

I don't like when ever anyone makes a comparison to Hitler, however the msm only showed a portion of Spicer's comment. Part of his comment explained the difference between Hitler and Assad.

Gee weren't the Liberals comparing Trump to Hitler? Then it was ok, now it's horrible. I love the double standards.

He tried to destroy America. He said so himself. He does not like America. The people saw right through him. HE is the reason that Conservatives are in control of this country at the Federal AND the State level. No one wants for their kids what he was offering...

You can't refute it, so you laugh. That's fine. I'm laughing every single time the libs go apeschitt (which is about every 10 seconds) about anything Trump does. They did as much (if not more) to elect him than the Conservatives did. They made a mockery out of the Presidency, the country saw it and fixed it for them. So keep on Laughing, Flannie. It's going to be a LOOOOONNNNGGGG time before the libs have any sort on influence...

A Press Secretary should not be corrected on such simple facts. And this is not the first time he has shown his idiocy. He should not be backtracking this much on his comments. He should be prepared and double checked before he speaks. He looks and sounds like an idiot every time he talks. He is representing the White House. Write it down and read directly like a speech if he has to. He has been winging it and looking like a smacked azz. White House Press Secretary is not a position that can just wing it.

I agree that Spicer needs to go. He's an albatross around President Trump's neck.

There's no good way to walk-back a provably false comment such as "You know, you had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons.". The White House Press Secretary CAN'T make those types of blunders. He or she must be unimpeachable in their accuracy of facts.

Does anyone have the full clip where he said this? I would like the context of this comment, but have trouble searching for things on my phone.

But in misconstruing the facts of the Holocaust — Nazi Germany’s brutally efficient, carefully orchestrated extermination of six million Jews and others — Mr. Spicer instead drew a torrent of criticism and added to the perception that the Trump White House lacks sensitivity and has a tenuous grasp of history.

“We didn’t use chemical weapons in World War II,” Mr. Spicer said. “You know, you had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons.”

He continued, “So you have to, if you are Russia, ask yourself: Is this a country and a regime that you want to align yourself with?”

Asked to clarify his remarks, Mr. Spicer then acknowledged that Hitler had used chemical agents, but maintained that there was a difference.

“I think when you come to sarin gas, he was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing,” Mr. Spicer said, incorrectly, before mentioning “Holocaust centers,” an apparent reference to Nazi death camps.

160,000 to 180,000 Jews killed by the Nazis were from Germany, according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Mr. Spicer’s explanation drew gasps from reporters in the briefing room. The remarks almost immediately elicited outrage on social media and correctives from scholars of the Holocaust.

“Historically, it’s just wrong,” said Deborah Lipstadt, a leading historian of the Holocaust and a professor at Emory University in Atlanta. Mr. Spicer “should not be making comparisons,” Dr. Lipstadt said. “It’s, at the best, not thought out, and at the worst, shows a latent anti-Semitism.”

Shortly after his briefing, Mr. Spicer again tried to clarify his comments, saying in a statement that he was not “trying to lessen the horrendous nature of the Holocaust.”

“I was trying to draw a distinction of the tactic of using airplanes to drop chemical weapons on population centers,” he said. “Any attack on innocent people is reprehensible and inexcusable.”

So, apparently, Mr. Spicer thinks it is worse to drop deadly gas in a public place than to round the public up and put them in a gas chamber instead.

It was a moronic thing to say.

Not the way he said it. And quite frankly, he just showed absolute ignorance about the Holocaust. Jews weren't taken to "Holocaust centers" - they were taken to death camps or concentration camps.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

True.

He doesn't seem to be, how to put this... playing with a full deck some times.

Clueless, really.

Like he don't know how he got there.

Jews weren't real people? German citizens?

Y'all can diss as much as you want. That bomb drop was brilliant. It killed at least 36 ISIS leaders, wiped out weapons caches, and hurt their tunnel system defenses with no civilian casualties.

Absolutely perfect military strike.

It was moronic, given the holocaust. However Hitler did not use gases on the soldiers from the US or our allies, that was his point however poorly made. As I said, comparisons to Hitler need to stop, how about comparing attacks on citizens to Idi Amin?

Yep, and empowering your Generals letting them know you trust them, compels them to want to work harder. We have many brilliant military and they should be the ones who manage military operations.

So what? Assad didn't use gas on US soldiers or our allies either. He used it on his own people, just like Hitler.
