So, should we keep doing the hitler thing? The idea I took from RightWingDuck that the liberals had been using the phrase so much (“Bush is like Hitler.” and “FOX News is like Hitler”) that we might as well take it to its full ridiculousness by using hitler as a catchphrase.
Well, discuss amongst yourselves (well, in the comments).
In a word, no.
I agree, sadly.
Unlike the liberals, we really do understand the impact of what the man did.
Even though its a joke, the name still gives one a lousy feeling.
Pol Pot. Now THAT’s funny!
ACtually, no. Not even.
Agreed. It’s just too weird.
I kinda liked it. I’m sure it pisses liberals off like crazy and I am fully aware of the evil that the man fostered.
I have to say no, too. The man was just too evil to ever become a joke.
That’s not to say that we can’t make jokes out of other german despots. Hehe: Bismark
I think it’s funny, but if we have to stop using it we should find an opposite, like…
“Dude, that rotten egg smells so Chirac!”
or
“I don’t agree with your idiotic and Chirac-ian idea”
any takers?
the Hitler thing has to stop!
first you drag God into the mud with the whole fake Bible thing, now your trying to elivate evil to a household word?
(mostly 🙂 )
FrankJ-I am a geezer and enjoy dropping by this site for a laugh and hearing younger folks banter back and forth. Your 2nd commenter had it right. left loonies do not understand what he was. We do. He was a monster who murdered mommies and babies. Saying his name is like conjuring up a demon.
I say it was funny for a while, playing on the lefts insaity, but I say its time to let it go.
I guess I’ve got to agree as well. RWD has it right- it feels kinda strange using it in everyday conversation. It does, however, get attention at work. “Wow, that report is totally hitler!”
Nah.
Ya, keep it going! It’s hilarious using the Hitler analogy against the libs.
It is Horrible Inappropriate To Laugh, Even Reluctantly.
But I do.
OFF TOPIC- Frank: plagiarism alert Have you seen Jonah G’s column in the new NR? The subject is that the 72 virgins are actually GRAPES! Sounds alot like your IMW post awhile ago about the 72 raisins! Coincidence? I think not.
Reluctantly, I must agree as well. Hitler is in no way hitler.
Perhaps we should put “Hitler” to bed, like we should “bling” (if we haven’t already)
Though we should pull it out again whenever someone else asininely compares something to Hitler. Kind of like a special appearance.
That would be so
Hitleror… well, it would work.Then it’s agreed.
hey, let’s just start a new trend.
Wearing your underwear OUTSIDE of your pants.
That would be – coool
Sounds like those who care thinks we should wear our underwear outside our pants instead of using “hitler” as a catchphrase.
So let if be written, so let it be done.
Boxers or briefs?
Hey, all you naysayers go away! I like the “it’s so hitler” fad, and only Frank has the blogo-popularity to transform it into popular slang!
It’s even got kind of an intrinsic connotation to it. You know…
hitler == happenin’
stalin == rockin’
marx == hurts
Personally, I don’t think it’s something to get worked up about. What about when Frank has Rummy strangle reporters? Obviously, if that really happened, it would be a very horrible evil thing. But you’re not supposed to consider the realistic implications–it’s just passing humor. And the whole reason the ‘hitler’ thing is so funny is precisely because it’s not a word you would at all expect to see used in that context.
Besides, isn’t it closer to an act of ‘reverance’ to not use the word in vanity?
Can we still refer to our errands of running weapons to the Khmer Rouge as Kerrying? I mean, I need SOME shorthand.
I think Hitler was funny for the first few days, but now it is getting creepy. And it’s now reaching the point where it has to be explained… which is the death of any good joke.
Which also explains most of John Kerry’s campaign.
I personally dont mind the hitler thing, but at the same time I like to respect the wishes of others if they are rational wishes and not mindless drivel. It seems that most of the people above seem to dislike it, so its probably better to give it up rather than keep on irritating people. Maybe since W is sooooo cool, in honor of him cool things could be called ‘bush’ or ‘dubya’.
E.g. “Saying Nookular is so bush” or “Killing terrorists is the dubya thing to do”
Conversely we could have things like “Incessantly referring to Vietnam when talking about the WOT is so kerry” or “Everyone here says theyre against using ‘hitler’ as an adjective, but we should recount their responses to be sure. That would be like, totally gore!”
I think we should keep going with it, its so hitler.
Ok, if you guys all stop, can I start using it? I figure this would an oh so hitler way to get more traffic on my site.
I think, if the purpose is to confuse the lefties, we should start use their heroes. For instance, we could say “that is so Che!” or “that would be real Ho Chi Minh if we won the lotto!” and “That new skateboard is totally Lenin!”
sackofcatfood, I’m sorry, but I fail to see the evil in Rummy strangling reporters. If it’s so bad, why do I giggle with glee everytime I read about it??
The hitler thing was totally hitler for a few day but it’s time to come up with something new.
Now I shall go type in my special number so I can post……
NO! Who cares how the name is used, when you are responsible for the death of hundreds of millions of people the name should not be used in anything other than the context of history. However, the moonbats have free reign to be as big Asses of them selves as they want. So Ted Kennedy them!
It wasn’t bad as a quick joke, but it’s not something that should be permanent, mostly because every person who comes to the website will start running in fear at the fact that everyone here seems to worship the third-most-evil guy in history. Let it die.
I don’t like it, personally. The original joke was funny, but…the man was just so pure evil even reading his name gives me chills.
Rummy strangling reporters isn’t evil. To my knowledge, he’s never actually strangled any, so it’s okay. If he ever does..well…then we’ll know he reads IMAO.
It had its run, let it go out with a bang. Have HFL try to use it and get beat up for the effort.
Eh, I don’t think anyone on the right should really promote somebody like Hitler in that way (even though it is funny). Maybe switch it with something positive, like Reagan? “Bush is like Reagan” “Drugs are totally un-Reagan”
I dunno, but to show that you’re better than the left for realizing what he did, stopping the “Hitler/un-Hitler” would probably be a good idea
Hitler is NOT funny, but dead!
Stalin is NOT funny, but dead!
Pol Pot is NOT funny, but dead!
Mao Tse Tung is NOT funny, but dead!
Yasser Arafat is kinda funny and dead!
Idi Amin is hilarious and dead!
Fidel Castro is funny, but not dead!
Saddam Hussein is neither funny nor dead!
Take your pick. Personally I’d take a captive GI Joe doll over any of them.
I think the hitler thing should end.
I don’t usually post here, but I read on a regular basis…and I do worry that people who come here might not understand…and the fact that really this website is completely non-racist would become burried by the reputation as “that site where they think Hitler is cool”.
So in short, I’m against continuing with the hitler thing. It’s totally un-Franco :).
Have we had a Know thy Enemy: Hitler, yet?
“Chirac” would be a good replacement – that name reeks like cheese-eating surrender monkey pate under glass.
Thank you Frank.
I have to agree that the ‘hitler’ tag should stop. However I still would like to keep showing how off target the left is. Therefore I propose that everytime a leftist screams “Hitler” or “Facism” or laments the “Loss of Free Speech” that we immediately point out a recent leftist action and associate it with the appropriate slur. This will not only show the correct meaning of the slurs but also show how its actually leftists and liberals who are the “Hitlers”
Example:
When a moonbat decries the loss of Free Speech someone point out how universites do not let conservative students speak out and have established “Free Speech” zones on camput.
When a tree-hugger screams “Fascism” point out that it was leftist college students that stole and destroyed convervative college newspapers and that it was college administrators that banned others.
etc….
Drop the hitler. It’s too apt to be misunderstood and anyway, the English language has been degraded enough. Let the word hitler stand for the evil of the man.
Likewise, I see nothing wrong with referring to ideas that are (a) bad and (b) outdated and (c) rejected by thinking persons as DNC.
“Supporting dictators is soooo DNC. Get with the 21st century, would ya?”
“You should see the sweater my aunt sent me for Christmas! She means well, but her taste is so DNC!”
i agree with the lose the “hitler” thing crowd. sorry. I think it rusts up your edge rather than adds to it.
-now commence with the dadgum funny
Let it go.
Thank you Frank.
Keep the hitler. It raised my eyebrow at first, but now it shows how foolish the Democraps really are.
This idea is like so… hitler
Lose it.
lets use positive thinking, and use “Dubya” for good things, like HumanOverlord suggested.
Huh… let it go, I guess. Keeping it too long would be so un-Chirac.
