Streisand: Bush Reminds Me of Nazi Air Chief

Hollywood's top Democrat diva, Barbra Streisand, is blasting President Bush for "controlling" the nation by ginning up fears of another terrorist attack, saying the president's tactics remind her of Nazi Luftwaffe Commander Hermann Goering.

In a statement posted to her Web site headlined "A Country Controlled by Fear," Streisand complains:

"Bush's actions remind me of Herman Goering's quote during the Nuremberg Trials, where he stated: '...it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.'"

  Streisand continued to quote the Nazi Reichsmarschall, contending that his words provided an insight into Bush's thinking:

"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders," said Goering, according to the disgruntled songstress. "All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism. ..."

The Democrat diva said that Goering's tactics, as adapted by Bush, have been extremely effective, arguing that the American people have been "unable to recognize they are being manipulated when they are paralyzed by fear because their government is constantly reminding them of an impending terrorist attack."

She griped that Bush's propaganda blitzkrieg managed to obscure his terrible performance in office during last year's presidential campaign.

"Despite all of the administration's mistakes and shortcomings, Bush was re-elected by the American people (regardless of the many accounts of possible voter fraud)," lamented Streisand.
