Answer my question.

Anyone else think Hitler is funny? How about in the context of Tracy Coxx's other political posts about Obama and Obama's positions, and given the Tuse of Hitler images at public Tea Party events. Or how about the recent statement by a Catholic bishop likening Obama to Hitler and Stalin?

I don't think Hitler is funny, but I do think the posted video is funny. I've seen the same video with Hitler going to Sturgis on a Honda and another when Hitler found out that Toronto had been eliminated from the playoffs. I found all of them funny as they are just spoofs. I'm pretty sure the creators of these video clips did not intend to compare Hitler or his actions to anyone else. I'm equally sure that the videos were created to give others a laugh.

smc, I'm sorry for what happened to your family. It was a crime against humanity, but I don't see the video as attenuating the circumstances of what happened to your family and to the Jewish people. Nor do I see the video as making light of Hitler's and his regime's criminal acts.

Then it belongs in a "humor" thread, and not in a political discussion thread. Given the provocative nature of certain posts throughout this site in political threads, one reasonably can wonder whether it was posted exclusively for its humor.
