Killing an innocent infant is "hell, yeah!"????

[uppityperson]

Aside from having a total lack of imagination to be able to figure out another way to prevent Hitler from becoming the murderous ass he was, it just seems that loudly and proudly proclaiming you are OK with murdering infants is rather off putting.

Wtf?

On the other hand, the more these idiots loudly and proudly announce their idiocies, the better.

1. But no abortion for the mother!

The same idiots who deny all abortion rights have no problem with the idea of killing an innocent infant. In fact, they would line up for the privilege of being the one to kill baby Hitler.

2. Exactly! Heh, I wished they'd asked that also.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

3. What?

[uppityperson]

6. Jeb was asked if he'd "kill baby Hitler" and he said "hell, yeah!"

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

7. Somebody should have asked a follow-up question: "Does that mean it would have been alright for

and Iraqi, whose family was butchered by US troops, Blackwater or some other Merc force, to kill baby Dubya?"

9. He watched Looper and thought it was real n/t

4. with the butterfly effect couldn't one just...

take away his bottle and let it play out differently

5. If he'd been a slightly better painter

he'd have beed admitted to the Vienna Academy of Arts (Hitler, not Jebthro) and spared the world untold horror.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

8. I'm not so sure of that.

Somebody else may have come along who could have out-Hitlered Hitler.

History is set.

Just remember, before Stalin there was Lennin.

Would the former have been more cruel that that latter?

10. And if only GW had been made baseball commissioner n/t

11. It wasn't the quality of his painting, it was his style that kept him out

The Vienna Academy was heavily into modern art at the time, and was only accepting modern artists. Hitler was a classical painter, and not that bad of one:



I think of him as a Prussian Thomas Kinkade...except that Hitler became the embodiment of absolute evil, and Kinkade just became a swindler who died from mixing booze and Valium. Oh...and Kinkade was a far worse painter. How good could he have been if he was better trained?

13. Cool painting.

Kinkade and Hitler were both evil swindlers. If only Hitler had turned to booze and valium. If only we had killed baby Kinkade the world would have been spared the horrible pain inflicted by Kinkade.






I hope I don't really need the sarcasm font.

[Fumesucker]

14. I'm probably outing myself here somehow as a person of plebian tastes

But that painting appeals to me more than most of the "modern art" I have seen.

Hitler considered himself an architectural artist, he was interested in grand structures like the one in the painting.

[Atman]

15. Did he paint any pictures of his feet in a bathtub?

As our Dear Leader did?

[jmowreader]

16. I kinda hope not

[Marr]

17. He carried a grudge against modern art, too.

He labelled pretty much everything more modern than his own work as 'degenerate art'.

[Atman]

12. And herein lies the problem when a conservative faces nuance.

They can't deal. Black or white. Life to them is binary. They can never fathom any situation other than the perfectly ironed-out situation. Questions baffle them.
