It's a big deal to the opposition party... nothing more!

Seriously, answer the question: What exactly did Spicer say that made it seem it was right in either case? Was he somehow pro-Nazi? That's where the left are going with this. MORE ABSURDITY from the, now proven, insane.


STOP THE BS

He was wrong historically, nothing more!

It wasn't a slip of the tongue. It was a reflection of his true thoughts. Spicer minimized Hitler and the Holocaust. What he was trying to say was that Asad is worse than Hitler because not even Hitler gassed people. No only is that factually wrong, but completely asinine. Hitler murdered more than 11 million people.

There is suspicion that many on Trump's staff are white nationalists aka white supremacists. And many white supremacists minimize or deny the Holocaust to belittle Jews. You have to question what one's true feelings are on a matter when they make a statement this ignorant. How would you not know that Hitler gassed his subjects among other forms of torture.

He may have been trying to avoid that with his ridiculously over-the-top apology.

He should watch his mouth but you cannot require all people to think like Jews. It's unfair and impossible.
I'm Asian and my great grandfather was killed by Japanese troops. However I can't possibly require all Americans to have the same feeling as me towards Japanese.

He has apologized so many times and the media is talking about firing him already.
Personally to me it matters, because what he (Spicer that is) was doing, was much closer to what I consider to be "propaganda," and deliberate spread of hysteria.
Hitler didn't have military opposition within his country that he had to deal with, unlike Assad.
The people that he deemed to be "the enemies of the German state" however - i.e. Jews, were gassed en mass.
Therefore when Spicer makes such public comparison, invoking the most fearful and grim associations, to me it sounds more like propaganda trick than anything else.
This, or pure stupidity.
One or the other.

He did not say that Hitler never gassed people.

So you have to be Jewish to recognize that killing 11 million people largely through torture is wrong?

I don't suspect that you are not bright, it's just a fact you are not bright. He clearly stated that Hitler didn't gas victims and then tried to backtrack by indicating he didn't specifically use sarin gas. You clearly lack attention to detail.

Let me guess, you are one of these "enlightened" individuals who deny global warming and facts?

The liberals (all Mainstream Media) hate Spicer for who he represents and the fact that he calls out the media on their continuous destroy Trump propaganda so when Spicer screws up, as he finally did here, the liberals and media (same thing) all launch their missiles, guns, rocks, and feces at him with everything they have.

Honestly, I don't think anyone hates Spicer. I think they feel sorry for him. It's his job to defend and spin Trumps lies. I doubt he will last long in this job. How could anyone with a conscience last. I'm sure it's hard on him.
