Hitler Sighting
October 16th, 2005 by Quan Tranh
The Governor’s race in Virginia has spawned Hitler.
The Republican candidate for Virginia governor is drawing fire for campaign ads that suggest his Democratic opponent is so averse to the death penalty he would have spared Adolph Hitler from execution.
A commercial featuring death penalty proponent Stanley Rosenbluth has him looking into the camera and saying: “Tim Kaine says Adolf Hitler doesn’t qualify for the death penalty. This was one of the worst mass murderers in modern times.”
Interesting spin on bringing the “H” word into an election. The real question is not whether or not the accusation is in bad tastes, it is whether or not certain people deserve the death penalty. Does Osama deserve to die by being devoured by wild boar?
I’ve also got a problem with some of these Jewish groups saying that this trivializes the Holocaust and that the commercials should be stopped. Can we say last century? Yes it was a very important event to the Jews, but can I get some equal time for the fall of Saigon, Mr. Rabbi?
