In Hillsborough County, Florida the County Commissoners prohabit the public from critizing their actions when the citizens speak at commission meetings.
Sure looks like a Kennedy. Eunice Kennedy Shriver has a son named Mark Kennedy Shriver.
"It's pretty awful, hateful and inappropriate," said Frosh. "I have a hard time thinking anyone would think this is funny."
"It is American politics at its worst," said Van Hollen. "It trivializes the evil of the Nazi regime."
"It is outrageous ... and does not belong in a public forum," said Shriver.
Contrast that with reviews of the current Broadway play "The Producers" with its "Springtime for Hitler" segment.
Near its beginning, we hear the sound of the familiar Chorus Line audition vamp being pounded on a rehearsal piano; and then the line of Dancing Hitlers appears on stage: now that's funny. The scene ends with Bialystock's famous declaration "That's our Hitler!" ... The "Springtime for Hitler" show curtain descends, the chorus line of jolly singing Germans appears, and then the curtain goes up, the SS Lead Tenor is center stage singing "Springtime for Hitler and Germany" and the parade of Nazi beauties starts down the staircase. And you think: I never thought I'd ever really see this musical number on stage. And the audience roars, and keeps roaring. And you're thrilled, and awash in laughter (in part because the costumes and choreography are genuinely hilarious). From the nytheatre.com review by Martin Denton.
The Broadway adaptation still contains the movie's centrepiece musical number Springtime For Hitler, a wonderful piece of cinematic kitsch, which has been artfully recreated for the stage. From the news.bbc.co.uk review by Tom Brook.
There are many more of course -- all praising the segment. It received 12 Tony awards.
If a conservative uses Nazis to make a point it "trivializes the evil of the Nazi regime." But if liberal entertainment people do the same it's just "kitsch."
His name is Baruch, and he told me: "We believe in G-d, believe in a strong America, believe in a strong Israel, and we are having 5-9 children per family. The deformed Jews are having abortions and intermarrying. GOOD! When all is said and done the only Jews left will be ones worthy of the Covenant. We think of this as another "cleansing" period such as Moses leading the wayward Hebrews through the desert for forty years to weed out the heretics."
I told Baruch..."yeah, but tell me how you REALLY feel"
lol
And while we are at that, the Israelis should give up their guns and try to reason with the Pallies.

RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
After Hitler was elected in 1933, he used existing gun registration lists to totally disarm his enemies, rendering them helpless to resist.
The rest is history.
"If someone is so fearful that they are going to start using their weapons to protect their rights, it makes me very nervous that these people have weapons at all." ~~Henry Waxman
"One of the basic conditions for the victory of socialism is the arming of the workers [read communist party] and the disarming of the bourgeoisie." ~~V.I. Lenin, Collected Works
"I don't think everybody has a right to a weapon which can be used to kill innocent people and maybe threaten the life of a president of the United States." ~~Henry Waxman
"Make mass searches and hold executions for found arms." ~~V.I. Lenin
"We are going to hammer guns on the anvil of relentless legislative strategy! We are going to beat guns into submission!" ~~Chuck Schumer
"If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves." ~~Stalin, 1927

Does anyone have the Feinstein quote on "if we had the votes, I'd ban firearms tomorrow"?
Senator Feinstein had no concern for what the Second Amendment says.
Big Bump Regards....I'd like to see Russert talking about how "innapropriate" this is....keep it bumped.
The irony is that Senator Feinstein would not have been allowed to possess a firearm after November 1939, in Nazi Germany.
Trivializing the Second Amendment with gun control is over the line.
Register your guns and you will soon find them confiscated!
Just ask England or Australia who were forced to turn even valuable collector's guns over to the government to be destroyed. Now, the only people who have guns are the outlaws. Outlaws who don't have guns use baseball bats and knives and terrorize neighborhoods.
Our government can't control illegal drugs -- they would have no better record in controlling illegal weapons. So thanks, but no thanks -- I'll just keep my guns, unregistered, and be prepared to defend my freedom against criminals and socialistic government policies.
