You know, once you get past the Holocaust thing, the deaths of millions of people and that World War II dustup - all caused by an evil, megalomaniacal, delusional Austrian fruitcake - Nazis can be pretty funny, actually.
See: Hitler, Springtime For.
Let's face it, while the Warsaw Ghetto was hardly the stuff of Comedy Central, Mel Brooks has made more than a healthy living lampooning the Third Retch.
So you would be forgiven if you happened to be motoring blissfully along Florida's Turnpike in Sumter County and misunderstood a billboard erected by the Neo-Nazi National Alliance that reads: "Who Rule$ Amerika?"
This could be promoting a road show of "The Producers," right? After all, the billboard also invites the curious to contact the Internet address of the National Alliance at its headquarters in West Virginia.
Oh, that's just great. It's not as if West Virginia doesn't struggle already with an image as the yahoo, redneck, intermarriage, dimbulb center of the universe.
How bad is it?
Good grief, West Virginians yearn to move to Mississippi for respectability.
Now West Virginia is where the Obergoobers of the National Alliance call home. Geez, these Wermacht White Trash almost make the Ku Klux Klan look like the cast of "Friends."
Almost.
Neo-Nitwits
You would think a hate group that inspired Timothy McVeigh to commit the 1995 Oklahoma City terrorist bombing, which claimed 149 lives, would want to keep a lower profile than Warren Sapp at a paternity testing lab.
But Shaun Walker, who carries the title of "chief operations officer" for the National Alliance, said the billboard was intended to "raise public awareness of the political reality we live in today."
Uh, just what does the chief operations officer of the nattering Neo-Nitwits of the National Alliance do all day long at the Appalachian Wolf's Lair? Make sure there are fresh corn cobs in the outhouse?
Apparently the job requires the ability to foam at the mouth more than Old Yeller toward the end.
"I'm a white American, and we'd like to return the reins of control to white people," Walker told the Orlando Sentinel.
That's because white people are so obviously "genetically superior," added the Barney Fife of Berlin.
Patron Saint
Okey-dokey. Here you have a bunch of racist, anti-Semitic Bowery Boys of bigotry pretty much reduced to hanging around West Virginia spewing forth their Mein Kampf of Ca-Ca on turnpike billboards - and they think they are genetically superior?!?!?
You know, it's chaps like Shaun Walker who give missing links a bad name.
At the same time, it seems that Walker - when he is not otherwise engaged ironing the brown shirts of his fellow Dog Patch Anschluss travelers - is annoyed over what he views as the duping of the American people by a so-called "Jewish-controlled media."
Obviously Tel Aviv overlooked the billboard industry!
Of course, it can't be denied that Walker and his geek-show storm troopers have every First Amendment right to spread their manifesto of malevolence on any billboard the National Alliance of Silly White People wishes to purchase.
It's a right of free speech that Walker's patron saint of perversity denied his own citizens.
Who rules America?
Thank God it's not the National Alliance of People With Less I.Q. Than Teeth.

Jimmy Carter and the 'Final Solution'
had I been elected to a second term, with the prestige and authority and influence and reputation I had in the region, we could have moved to a final solution
This person was published, and paid, for this horrible writing.
Color me stunned, as in 2x4-to-the-face stunned.
Besides, the NY Times is at least as anti-Semitic as these folks -- they just have the good sense to go to the dentist more often.
"Good grief, West Virginians yearn to move to Mississippi for respectability."
What a bigoted big city Liberal author. While I don't defend Neo-Nazis, rural West Virginians don't derserve such insults. Needs to clean up his own act before going around bashing others.
The same sign was posted on roads as you entered Cabarrus County, N.C.
