PS - When people say “Oh have respect for the dead” I wonder if they also would have given Hitler a moment of silence and refused to speak the truth about him.
Hitler goes to a fortune-teller and asks, "When will I die?" And the fortune-teller replies, "On a Jewish holiday." Hitler then asks, "How do you know that?" And she replies, "Any day you die will be a Jewish holiday."
Well, Eamon de Valera (Prime Minister of Ireland) did just that, mainly to spite Winston Churchill.
