Checked my gear: my sarcasmeter jammed. Irony supplements forthcoming.

"A more realistic assessment is that the poem was written by an anonymous Leftist, perhaps a friend of Niemöller's . . ."

Interesting. Since the Nazis are widely (erroneously) considered the Right, I guess that necessarily makes anyone opposing them the Left? I don't know Niemoller's history, but was he truly "the Left"?

I'm hoping your irony supplements help here.
