Hitler was German? I thought he was a very well known jewish chef. ---

While you guys are so busy creaming yourselves pitting Hitler, you conveniently overlook Stalin. Oh, wait, I forgot- it’s OK if a communist does it. ---

Hitler was an asshole. This is just my opinion; you are of course entitled to your own and I respect it. ---

It was all a huge misunderstanding you guys. As usual everything’s been blown way out of proportion because he made a mistake. He was just trying to kill OJ Simpson, but through a game of “Telefon” his desire to eliminate “The Juice” got all messed up. ---

In regards to Hitler, I always find the following, from a 1938 quiz book I own, interesting: > [@The Quiz and Answer Book by Frederic J. Haskin](#): > > Q: Who was General Juan Vicente Gómez? > > A: Dictator of Venezuela from 1909 to 1935, the most ruthless, cruel and perhaps brilliand dictator that the modern world has known. I’m sure, in any subsequent printings, the editorial postscript was removed due to the “new world’s bad boy” ---

Hitler gets such a bad rap. Sure he did some bad stuff and didn’t listen to criticism, but I find his posts on pop culture to be very amusing. Lay off him, he makes Cafe Society a much more interesting place. ---

> [@kidchameleon](#): > > Hitler gets such a bad rap. Sure he did some bad stuff and didn’t listen to criticism, but I find his posts on pop culture to be very amusing. Lay off him, he makes Cafe Society a much more interesting place. I kind of appreciate Hitler too even though he was a little over the top and misguided. I watched a biography on him last weekend on the History Channel. It showed how he had a tortured youth through early childhood and then suffered in the trenches in WWI. Later, he developed a big chip on his shoulder as a struggling artist and writer, became a vegetarian, adopted dogs as his best friend and shacked up with some opinionated counter-culture chick. That’s right, Hitler was the ultimate proto-hippie. Lot’s of people here can appreciate that. I enjoy his Youtube videos a great deal as well.
