You Don't Have to Be a Historian to Be Funny

There's a famous story about the late Molly Ivins who once quipped about a speech by Pat Buchanan at the 1992 Republican Convention that it probably sounded better in the original German. See? German equals Nazis which equals Republicans. HaHaHa. That Republicans have nothing at all to do with Nazis doesn't rob it of the humor. (That it's Pat Buchannan supplies about half, I think).

It's also pretty funny that investigators of the Canadian (and provincial) Human Rights Commissions (CHRC) which have been raping and murdering free speech up north (while persecuting Mark Steyn for quoting Muslims among other outrages) are assuming pseudonyms, signing on to neo Nazi websites and leaving hateful messages. See how terrible the problem is, they then say, look at all this hate speech. It is possible, the investigator admitted under oath, that Canadians who run websites have been prosecuted by the CHRC for having hate speech on their website, because of messages which were left by employees of the CHRC.

It also strikes me as funny what the German word is for Human Rights Commission, Menschenrechtskommission. Well, maybe not funny, what's the word I'm looking for? Oh, yeah, obscene. The German populace during the Third Reich, especially the young, loved Hitler. The Wehrmacht (not just the SS) enthusiastically participated in ethnic cleansing/political murder. Most of the populace knew about the work camps, if not the death camps, and were OK with it. The Germans don't get to complain about anyone else's actions (other than murder) until the last German alive in 1933 up and dies.

We on the right haven't the wits to make this stuff up. It takes a different sort of mind set and I'm not talking about Reverend Wright's left brain/right brain bigotry.
