Yesterday the National Republican Congressional Committee thought that the most productive thing to do that afternoon would be to compare Nancy Pelosi to Hitler, on Twitter. A savvy web intern found some video of Adolf Hitler planning to kill Jews, only he’s speaking in German (!), so what would be great would be if we could just throw up some subtitles that suggest that the kind of genocide Hitler thinks is even cooler is the kind when Barack Obama just FOR NO REASON decides to shut down America’s hospitals. Which by the way are in Berlin, according to the Democrat/Nazi’s map. In any event, like nearly everything else that happens on Twitter, it was later forcibly removed. [CNN Political Ticker]
people are crazy, comparisons are tedious.

I googled this Hitler person and I don’t think he was a very nice man.
I thought Pelousy and Barry were communist not Naziis.
I much preferred it when the GOPers used fucked up Star Wars Analogies to insult Nancy comparing themselves to the Rebel Alliance and the Demoncraps to the Empire… when the GOPers were shrieking about how they RAN ALL THREE BRANCHES of GUBBIMENT (right into the ground.)
Its cute that the NRCC thinks they can make Hitler-in-the-bunker-with-a-goofy-translation videos, just because everyone else is doing it. But now that Republicans are doing it, its officially in the category of That’s Not Funny.
Republicans punk’d by the Internet. Again.
Puthy Catth ith the CWAZIETHT peopleth.
Toady we are all Hitler.
nikomilinko: Blogwhoring to something about movies is even more tedious.
Wow. Republicans really have this whole “twatting” thing down, don’t they?
nikomilinko: At least fake your blogwhoring by writing something clever above the link.
Ha ha that Untergang video jiggery-pokery was so fuckin’ funny, like 3 years ago when the movie came out & before 13 billion of these things were made. Oh look, mom caught me masturbating! I’ll dub that shouty Hitler scene, only this time my mom is Hitler. How clever am I!
Disclaimer: my friends used to call my mom Brezhnev cuz she wouldn’t let me go out whenever I wanted to, or made me come home by midnight. If only there’d been youtube back then. And a movie where ol’ Leonid got all agitated and stuff.
“the” not “he”
/Hitler
Canmon (the Inadequate): That reminds me of when I was a very small child asking my Jewish parents “what was so bad about this Hitler fellow”.
Hilarity ensued.
Once the Republicans discover an internet meme, you know that it is well beyond played out and dead. Like when the Chuck Norris fact were used by Norris himself in Huckabee ads.
What’s next, the NRCC twitters “Funny - Obama says All your healthcare is belong to us”
This video, of course, raises the age-old question: WWRMD? (What Would Ronaldus Maximus Do?)
Answer: he would, obviously, compare a sitting President to Hitler. Because DUH SHEEPLE it’s funny! And also post-modern and “meme-y” and about a thousand other SMART (street smart, not book smart) things that Republicans are.
Re: my post above, the NRCC was comparing Pelosi to Hitler. Ronaldus Maximus totally would’ve done that.
Jennifer Crider said “Republican Leader John Boehner should order NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions to immediately remove this vile Tweet and apologize.”
Fighting words from the democrats. Calling it a vile tweet really hits them where it hurts.
If it makes even one Republican put Downfall in their Netflix queue, it will all have been worth it. Excluding, of course, Republicans who put Downfall in their Netflix queue for prurient reasons.
It should also be pointed out that if they really lived by their strong sense of conviction, they would have dubbed the scene when the SPOILER ALERT!!! children are offed. Since they claim Obama wants to euthanize health and all.
Next up: Michael Steele’s dog playing a Casio.
nikomilinko: Just when I thought a blog whore couldn’t get lazier or more stupider than that fucking asshole marmel. This fuckwit couldn’t blogwhore itself out of a paper bag. Its post veritably screams “meh.” I suppose we should be grateful that today’s blog whores are dumber than a box of hammers. The blog was probably about how to get your mother to suck your cock when no one else will, anyway.
JMP: We we know that Someone has set Steele up the bomb.
JMP: Yeah, just wait till they discover lolcats. Now that will be some funny!
Ok when do we get the Joe Cartoon RNC version? Pelosi in a blender….
But who is the worse Hitler? Pelosi Hitler, or Obama Hitler? Bin Laden Hitler? Saddam Hitler? Ahmadinajad Hitler? There was Qaddaffi Hitler, Noriega Hitler, was Castro ever Hitler? Kim Jong Il Hitler, who was the Hitler of Grenada when we invaded, there had to be a Hitler, or else we would never have performed that “Pre-dawn vertical insertion.” The Ayatollah Khomeini Hitler, the French are all Hitlers, I’m a Hitler, you’re a Hitler, wouldn’t you like to be a Hitler too.
Hitler Hitler is still the worst, isn’t he?
hobospacejunkie: Well, if a boy can’t count on his mother who can he count on?
Yo, dawg, I heard you like death panels!
I wonder what Adolf thinks about all this comparison of living politicians to him?
Let’s ask!
Mr. Grumpy: “Adolf, how do you feel about Pelosi, Obama and just about every other politician being compared to you?”
Adolf: “AAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH Es brennt! Es brennt!”
donner_froh: If only Democrats could learn the art of the sarcastic rejoinder.
So, Pelosi is a third-rate, Austrian landscape painter who suffer from hysterical blindness during WWI.
I can accept that.
Potater: for some reason, this has already made my entire day
Prommie: Hitler Hitler is still the worst, isn’t he? — you are forgetting the soup nazi, he was pretty bad
Prommie: No. It’s Father Damien Hitler, who was haupt commndante of a state-sponsored death camp for leppers on Molokai. He killed them with free health care, that Nazi bastard.
I’m with the NRCC on this one. Downfall parodies are always funny. Always.
hobospacejunkie: Todays blog whores are indeed a disgrace when compared to the delightful blog courtesans of yore (circa 2006, for example). Back then, the blog whores were piquant, intellectual imps, possessed of sparkling wit and a moral candor that…je ne sais pas…left one breathless. The current crop are little more than common digital street walkers in comparison and I ,for one, wonder why?
Was at the car dealer yesterday having something fixed and went to wait in their “waiting area” and of course FOX News is on the teevee… Two old morons were sitting there going back and forth discussing politics, which centered around the “fact” that Obama was secretly having the Constitution changed to give more to the blacks. This, by the way, was in New Jersey, not Alabama.
They both agreed that the only person out there who understood what needed to be done, BTW, was “this Huckabee guy”.
I couldn’t take it for more than 30 seconds though, because of the old blood pressure, which was about to cause my head to explode.
jagorev: Downfall parodies always do it for me too, but I am surprised there are a lot of Republicans who are smart enough to watch the video and absorb the subtitles at the same time.
AnnieGetYourFun: Yes but ‘vile Tweet’ has like 9 subtle digs hidden inside. If someone told me I had a vile Tweet I’d probably cry.
Norbert: And don’t forget Stalin Hitler. We were for him before we were against him.
JMP: Ha!
Next up: “Obamacare is scarier than Mooninites in Boston!”
I’ve been wondering WWHD? Please keep us updated NRCC with breaking news like this that would otherwise be squelched by the liberal media.
The great thing about Twitter is that you can delete something, but it never really goes away. Disappears from your profile, but stays forever on the public timeline. Just have to know how to find it.
Typed: Funny Video: Moonbattery in Twitter’s search engine and, lo and behold, there’s the original RNC tweet, posted some 22 hours ago. Did them a favore and Re-Tweeted.
Norbert: hobospacejunkie: Prommie:
And for Canine-Americans, Michael Vick Hitler.
dijetlo: Indeed, the blogwhores of today lack the wit, intelligence and sophistication of yesterday’s blogwhores. Why, nikomilinko probably doesn’t even know how easily the government could support the Borgen goals of the millenium project, which could feed the world or something like that. You can find out more at borgenshit.com
Prommie: And so once again, the LOLHitler parody site fails to take off. Can haz das cheezburger?
NRCC spokesman John Randall said Tuesday the group had made a mistake. “We obviously made an error in linking to this video and it has been taken down,” said Randall.
Wait — the Republicans admitted they did something wrong and corrected it? The sissies are getting soft. What’s next? “We obviously made an error in elevating Ronald Reagan to demigod status and he has been reburied without the toga and gold leaf.”
“We obviously made an error in invading Iraq for no reason and then pretending it was going fine for years while angry farmers were blowing our boys up with the explosives we didn’t secure and we resolve never to get our military plans from Sgt. Rock comics or the Left Behind book series ever again.”
“We obviously made an error in cutting taxes in a time of war and then deregulating the finance industry so much that our rich friends were rubbing themselves in butter and rolling around in overleveraged mortgage-backed securities while the entire economy was going to shit, and we are working on learning a little something about economics although it might take a while because we’re still a little confused about the part where if you don’t have money, you shouldn’t actually be spending any.”
JMP: How much longer before Rick Astley appears as the O in GOP?
Johnny Zhivago: I was in the checkout line at a grocery store where they had one of those stupid tabloids on display (World News, National Enquirer, something like that). The headline was something about Obama’s lack of US citizenship and the lady (not that much older than me) in front of me was scrutinizing the article. I asked her if she believed it and she said, “They couldn’t print it if it weren’t true.” And she was serious (and annoyed with me).
This was the same tabloid that had something about Batboy:

I think it’s the dumbing of America…
This makes about the republican’s 300th recaptioning of this scene from Downfall. It’s also been used to show the reaction to Brett Favre going to the Vikes. I guess we should at least be glad it’s gotten them off of screaming about how the Teletubbies and SpongeBob Squarepants is turning them gay.
The “Hitler Reacts to Palin Resignation” version of this was really funny. Two months ago.
Hitler this, Hitler that. Who does Joe Stalin have to blow to get a shout-out from the Republican party?
Min: Forget it. The GOP gave up on the kulak vote years ago.
The only thing funnier than the GOP “hitlering” those they dislike is when they start “reaganing” those they like. During the primary last year I swear I remember Romney arguing with McCain and insisting that he was more Regean-y than McCain was Reagan-y. Reagan must be the anti-Hitler.
They have to call people Hitler now because Ted Kennedy died, so they can’t call democratic politicians Ted Kennedies anymore.
SayItWithWookies: Thanks, I needed that.
dijetlo: lol @ ‘delightful blog courtesans’
proudgrampa: The Weekly World News ceased print publication in 2007, though it still exists online, Bat Boy and all.
I therefore have cause to doubt parts of your anecdote, sir.
DoktorZoom: Aw, come on. I said I wasn’t sure which tabloid it was. Since when did Wonetteers care about facts??
Today we are all Hitler.
