Tonight is sink or swim for Jeb Bush; so he has to be looking to stay afloat. He would have done better had he said he would assassinate Attila the Hun. Killing the man Communists hate the most can easily be misconstrued. As I’ve said many times, Hitler fighting Communism, for whatever reason, gave him one saving grace. Stalin had none.
If Jeb killed baby Hitler how about this for a dangerous effect: Hitler fought Soviet Communists more than any other single person.
Killing deceased figures is fantasy assassination. If you want the real thing try this with a live target:
In 1940, Hollywood made a movie titled Man Hunt containing a plotline about assassinating Hitler. Incidentally, Hitler never said “Today Europe tomorrow the world.” I believe the phrase was first said by a Nazi agent, played by George Sanders, in this movie starring Walter Pidgeon:
America was not at war with Germany at the time. In fact the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was at least 18 months away when Man Hunt was being shot. America was still at peace with Germany when the movie was released in mid-1941.
NOTE: No such movie plot ever explored the possibility of assassinating Stalin after WWII ended. As far as I know, Hollywood never made a movie about knocking off any Communist dictator. In fact, the Left is still angry over CIA plots to snuff Fidel Castro.
Assassinations in peace, and in war, are fairly common. Reinhard Heydrich was assassinated during WWII. Archduke Ferdinand and Huey Long were assassinated during peacetime although the results were worlds apart, Assassination motives vary. Profit and revenge are two. Pure political assassinations are rare —— and the dumbest of all because everybody moves up one notch if the government is not overthrown.
Failed assassinations inform more than the successful ones and are more humorous.
Stalin ordered John Wayne’s assassination. Nikita Khrushchev rescinded the order after Stalin died. When the story came out it was reported that Stalin was so angered by John Wayne’s anti-Communism he ordered Wayne’s murder. In addition to Stalin, none other than Mao Tse Tung was putting out contracts:
Assassination always comes down to who gets starched.
The Left never fussed over assassinating non-Communist dictators like Hitler during peacetime. Nor was there much said by media liberals when the news told us that Stalin ordered the murder of a Hollywood icon known for his anti-Communism. But let Pat Robertson suggest putting a hit on a Communist dictator and the liberal press was beside itself with moral indignation.
Pat Robertson’s comments triggered the following. (The article is “Closed.” Good luck if you want to research the date and title.)
The Robertson-Stephanopoulos story shows that Democrats are greatly offended when knocking off a Communist is on the menu.
All things considered, Jeb Bush could have found a better target than Hitler. I personally oppose assassination; nevertheless, if Jeb contacts me I will be happy to provide him with a list of possibilities who are still breathing.
. . . ‘If you could go back in time and kill baby Hitler, would you? I need to know,’” Bush explained.
The Republican hopeful acknowledged that, like those Michael J. Fox movies, time travel has its consequences. But the opportunity to snuff out the future leader of the Third Reich was too good to pass up.
“It could have a dangerous effect on everything else, but I’d do it,” Bush said. “I mean, Hitler.”

Wayne also told Mr Munn about an attempt to kill him by an enemy sniper while he was visiting the troops in Vietnam in 1966. "One of the snipers was captured," said Mr Munn, "and said there was a price on John's head, put there by [China's communist leader] Mao Tse Tung."

'We have the ability to take him (Chavez) out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability,' Robertson said.

Pat Robertson’s comments triggered the following. (The article is “Closed.” Good luck if you want to research the date and title.)
Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson prompted a firestorm of media outrage on Tuesday after he suggested that the Bush administration should assassinate a foreign leader who posed a threat to the U.S. - in this case, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
But when senior Clinton advisor George Stephanopoulos publicly argued for the same kind of assassination policy in 1997, the press voiced no objection at all. Fresh from his influential White House post, Stephanopoulos devoted an entire column in Newsweek to the topic of whether the U.S. should take out Saddam Hussein.
