Spicer deserves the flak for being a dumbass that was careless with a Hitler reference, but it's obvious to anyone who understands context what he meant
Possibly but his clarification only sounded worse.

I found this article from yesterday. I would bet good money that this is where Spicer got his talking point.

having said that, he should have walked it back immediately. is that ditch worth dying in?
"no, see I meant he didn't have a method of delivering it across distance"
"on his own citizens" - i'm not even sure you can walk that back...
republicans are so afraid of the press they say stupid shite like this. spicer is worse because his bravado is pretty transparent. he looks afraid up there but he's talking tough. it's like a shitty special effect in a movie...we all know it is fake.

He sure as hell used propaganda to his advantage though, didn't he.

if i'm hiring, i'm looking on Madison avenue and then I can sleep well at night knowing my press secretary is representing me well, or at the very least not tying my presidency to the holocaust

He clearly means use of chemicals in combat. Not much to spin..
So using chemicals on civilians specifically singled out for death due to their faith or ethnicity, whom you march into a death chamber, is better than just dropping chemicals indiscriminately on a town?

Hitler was actually in the hospital at the end of WWI with mustard gas poisoning. Temporarily blinded.
Actually, many historians propose that he was never injured from gas attacks but rather had a nervous breakdown and suffered from "hysterical blindness"

Don Draper would've made a hell of a Press Secretary.

It's ridiculous that MSNBC put in parentheses (Hitler gassed millions). I mean let his quote speak for itself without the commentary.

they weren't his own citizens, they were just filthy jews
it would be fun to make a list of shite I'd like my press secretary say rather than this...pretty sure i'd get the banhammer

whether it is Kasich giving a shite answer to rape or this...republicans are so bad at speaking to the media. I know they treat them as adversaries, but if you can't grow some balls and keep a cool head, then you have no business being the representative for the people of said party. you're being counterproductive

Does comparing Assad to Hitler means we are going to war. How can we not remove someone worse than Hitler?
He didn't say he was worse than Hitler. he said Hitler didn't use chemical weapons. Does this equate to the left saying that Trump is literally Hitler? Does that mean the left should be trying to actively assassinate Trump since he is "literally Hitler"? That's just silly.

A big gaff to ever mention Hitler. Whether gassed in a death chamber or in your own home makes little difference, as the intent is evil. I suppose Spicer had a case of oral diarrhea. Best to shut up.

the first rule of PR is
1. you do not talk about hitler
the second rule of PR is
2. YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT HITLER

The sad part of this statement is it's not true. Spicer marchers out there everyday and says exactly what he is told to say.
Guy is going to stroke out soon
