F1 » Ecclestone: Hitler could 'get things done'

Bernie, Max, Leave before you destroy F1. Its not yours. It belongs to the world.

@Johnson

I take your point but been a fan of F1, rallying, bikes etc for may years I just find the comments tiresome now, too me they indicate someone who's not completely of sound mind...we know Mosley isn't.

The politics of F1 used to amuse me and times fascinate me, I just find it tedious now, statements like this are ok when he's retired, he has a right to speak his mind but when he represents the commercial arm of the F1 business I think it's hardly a wise course of action. If I was a board director on CVC I'd be pulling my hair out...although there would be none left after figuring out I'd paid far too much for the business in the 1st place and bernie had fleeced me

@ Taz

Fair point, but this is BERNIE.
His comments will never change, nor will he.

At least one day in the next 10 years(pray) he will stand down and well, i dont know! lol

It will be fascinating to see an F1 without him
OR MAX!

Bernie Eccelstone & Max Mosley, should BOTH be removed from there posts, & BANNED from Motorsports forever!! They're destroying F1, & WRC!!!
The FIA needs a major enema! I say NO to Jean Todt as well!

I always knew Bernie and Maxy were as thick as thieves. But now Bernie's Nazi comment now leads me to believe, he and Maxy are thicker than i thought, it wont be long before Max is leading Master Bernie down the steps to that sicko sex chamber i saw on the NOTW vid,,,my my, what a sick piece of work that was, i had to turn it off after 20 seconds.
Oh by the way Bernie, a man needs to know when to shut his stupid mouth, only an idiot supports Hitler and the like. It's funny though, because you support Maxy don't you, he's nothing more than a corporate dictator, isn't he? the lawman

I agree with Bernies statements. He's stating that ruddy obvious. Hilter did get things done because he was a dictator and ruled through fear. Margret Thatcher, though unpopular, did get things done also through sheer bloody mindedness. Saddam could control Iraq, I mean look at it now. His statement is not supporting Hitler. He's a Jew. Does anyone notice the flaw here? Lets face it if he had said "dictator" rather than "Hitler" there would be no fuss. Also look at what runs this country. An unelected moron and a cabinet that is also largely unelected. It's a dictatorship pretending to be a democracy. Face it, democracy will never work 'cos the folk at the top get power mad. Sad innit?

I'm not aiming to portray myself as a right wing nutcase like hitler or an anti-semite but this is all really a fuss over nothing. Like I've already said slow news day.

Black Mans Wheels - can always trust you to mis-read a post. I'm looking at this from an intelligent view rather than jumping on the Bernie hating band-wagon.

I don't agree with anything Hitler did but Bernie has a point he did make Germany into a superpower albiet through fear intimidationand needless killing. Dictators to get things done but by the wrong means. And I'll stand by my comment that this country is being run like a dictatorships under the mask of democracy. You can think I'm a bigot if you like but it's not my problem that you can't look at this on an intelligent level. The mistake Bernie made was name Hitler. If he had just said dictators no one would take notice.

Yes Bernie Hitler was an absolute whizz at getting things done like being responsible for 61,000,000 deaths in WW2 You must be an absolute brain fade to have to make a comparison of this kind.

I never said I agree with Hitler. He was a madman and thankfully a one off. All I am saying is that I can see where Bernie is coming from. Bottom line: dictators get things done. Problem is the "things" tend to be dispicable.
