Give her credit. She was absolutely right about the drinking age vs. the fighting age and the voting age.
And it was dumb to mention Hitler, because it gives ammunition to the enemy. But all she said if you look at it closely is that Young Republicans look too serious. Frankly I've noticed that too, in the past. It's not a criticism of their views, it's a criticism of their looks and their clothes. She's suggesting that if they loosened up a bit, they might attract more converts to the cause. That's pretty harmless, too.
There's a difference between stating an intelligent opinion about where the drinking age should be, and stating, "I hate that woman" and booing Elizabeth Dole at a Republican convention. Obviously all Republican delegates should boo and express their hate at all speakers they have a different opinion with.

Of course, it's only wrong to compare others to Hitler when it's Howard Dean or Paul Hackett who does it. If Mean Jean wanted to say that some Republicans should loosen up, why not just say that? Why does she have to compare them to the Hitler youth?
