Oh I know it was published in the ‘satire’ news paper but this is so offensive I am not clear on how one is able to muster up the satire defense.... plus they used a real person’s name and likeness as opposed to the Onion New which managed to come oh so close to the line and yet not crossing it.

Socialists and tyrants (redundant) will always do some things that some will interpret as being good, but it is all done in the broader context of advancing evil.

Useful Idiots can’t discern the broader picture.

Not only should parents not send their children to public schools, but they should also learn about the college system. A good idea for homeschooling parents would be to assign or reccomend research on the various colleges available and what they have to offer. Perhaps checking blogs of current and former students who make postings on their college experiences, they can learn things that are not on the official websites.

You know it's satire, yet you insist upon acting as if it wasn't.

You're one of those people who makes a career out of being offended, aren't you?

Here is the website of the newspaper:

http://www.rutgersmedium.com/

I was unable to view it. My Adobe flash player recently quit working on my Xubuntu Linux machine. I installed an alternative flash player, but it won’t work on this website.

I doubt the article is still there.

I took it to be an inane sophomoric April’s Fools joke, which it apparently is.

That’s the problem. In the beginning, he did do some popular things and then his evil nature became apparent, to some. Unfortunately, it’s not PC to make comparisons to Hitler, even though doing so would be an excellent cautionary lesson.

I know it was printed in a ‘satire’ news paper but this is so offensive it goes deeper than just being stupider unthoughtful. Rutgers has in recent years been very pro-Palestinian and has given the Jewish on campus a hard time.... I think that context needs to be remembered as well

I hope the Jewish student sues the student newspaper for defamation and identity theft. I cannot think of anything more despicable than what was done to him.

That aside, I think this is an important reminder that Hitler was not born a monster; he was human like you and I, but chose to become a monster. And in doing so, it was his good actions which allowed him to gain the trust of the German people to the point that he could convince them to carry out Naziism’s greatest evils.

This reminds me of an encounter with one of the vets at our local Legion post, who happens to be a former Nazi from Eastern Europe. This bothered us young vets to no end, we wanted to get rid of him as we considered his presence a disgrace. However, the old WWII vets were very protective of him and the Korean and Vietnam vets had come to respect him as well.

So one day one of us young guys popped the question to one of the old guys. Namely, how could they tolerate, let alone defend, the presence of an individual who not only had fought against them, but represented one of most evil regimes in human history.

“Why don’t you ask him yourselves?” was theirresponse.

So we did. We asked him how he could have fought for Hitler and the Nazis during World War 2.

“Because in Eastern Europe the alternative was communism and fighting for Stalin. The concentration camps were the last things on our mind. We were worried about what would happen to our families under communism.”

He then told us how, when the war was over, the Soviets invaded his country and liquidated his family and well as many others in the village who had resisted communism. Most of his people were disgusted by Hitler and the Nazis, he told us, but that had chosen them as the lesser evil to Stalin and the Communists.

your history is flawed... even with quotation marks.

In 1933 Albert Einstein was on a tour of the United States. Shortly before his scheduled return he visited his friend, the German consul in New York. His friend warned him that if he returned to Germany, they would drag him through the streets by his hair. He received word from friends in Germany that the Nazis had looted and vandalized his beloved home in a Berlin suburb.

Albert Speer's father was a successful architect. Several years before the War, he visited his son in Berlin and was shown the plans for Welthauptstadt Germania (Hitler's name for the new and improved Berlin). The elder Speer became agitated and told his son, "You people are crazy."

Later, on being introduced to Hitler, the old man became physically ill and had to excuse himself.

You obviously cannot have any more than the most superficial knowledge of Nazi regime to think that Hitler "did good things". Nazi economic policy was, at best, the New Deal, but more coersive and counter productive. And they knew how to deal with political enemies.

German politics was raucous and unseemly prior to Hitler's rise to power. He "restored order" by killing and intimidating his critics. When the head of the German supreme court ruled Hitler's edicts unlawful, the Gestapo arrested him, which sent a message to all the other judges. Academics had to take a pledge of loyalty to the Nazis, and Jews were forbidden to teach Germans.

Excuse me, if I fail to see the good he did before the War. The only people he pleased were antisemites and rent seekers, who benefitted from property stolen from the Jews.

“student-funded” - as if. The money is taken from students whether they like it or not and doled out by the leftists on the student council without any sense of perspective about what the students actually want.

I bet that is much closer to fact

You are correct. I had heard of the dreadfully “pro Palestinian” atmosphere at Rutgers, I failed to link it up. because Rutgers is not something I think about much.

That's no way to talk about Obama's good buddy Soros.
