Ist der nicht ein Demokrat? Ja ist der ein Demokrat! Ist die nicht eine schmutzige Ratte? Ja ist die eine schmutzige Ratte!

Babelfish says:

Isn't that a democrat? Is the one democrat! Isn't those a dirty rat? Is the one dirty rat!

I use the 'Sherlock' translating software on my Mac. I've found it more reliable than 'Babelfish' on euro-translations.

What I translated was;

Is that not a Democrat? Yes that is a Democrat! Is that not a dirty rat? Yes that is a dirty rat!

It's a parody of the German drinking song, "Schnitzlebanc".

Better German would have been:

Ist das nicht ein Demokrat? Ja das ist der ein Demokrat! Ist das nicht eine schmutzige Ratte? Ja das ist eine schmutzige Ratte!

Der and Die have gender, but Das does not.

Translation:

Is that not a Democrat. Yes that is a democrat. Is that not a dirty rat. Yes that is a dirty rat.
