What do you expect? 60+ years ago his grand-dad was probably grinning like a Cheshire cat watching Jews being led to a concentration camp.
The Hun is either at your feet or at your throat.
Susanne Lang is a sorry ass excuse for a human being.
Susanne Lang ist eine traurige Entschuldigung für ein menschliches Wesen. Danke.
If it had to hit someone, I'm glad it hit us. We're tough, we can handle it. Just think, it might have hit some other country and they would have been desolated, and we'd have to come rolling in to pull them out anyway.
As for the Bush supporters, they are the ones rescuing the Kerry supporters, who are busy looting appliance stores and shooting at helicopters and ambulance drivers. There are two kinds of people; the ones who do, and the ones who wait on the ones who do so they can rip them off.
This German sounds confused (verrückt im Kopf)
The author isn't Lang. She's writing something in tomorrow's paper. It's someone called Philipp Mausshardt (Philipp Maußhardt), a freelance journalist who "lives near Tübingen and Tuscany."
Some people have written a lot of stupid and spiteful things lately. And the line between the established media and the bloggers isn't so clear as the mainstream media pretends. That's especially true of something like the TAZ, but it applies to other parts of the MSM.
Today Germany abounds in boorish would-be intellectuals, who wear a leftish attitude on their sleeve. Thirty years ago they were founding communes or making bombs. Now they're quite powerful in the government and the media. The country's Nazi past was a license to them to be as obnoxious as possible: if polite, well-mannered society had been willing to tolerate such atrocities then being ill-mannered and offensive looked justified.
The deeper question -- whether there's some real continuity or similarity between Germany's Nazi past and the New Left -- doesn't occur to the Mausshardts, though others have certainly wondered about it.
