There are tons of noteworthy Adolf Hitler quotes to choose from—including “Whatchu talkin’ ‘bout, Wilhelm?” and “Say, Eva, is this your cyanide tea or mine?”—but the best advice for properly using and citing Hitler quotes is, “Jesus Christ, don’t! What the hell, man? That’s Hitler! His Q score is lower than Matt Lauer’s!”
That’s good advice for anyone, but it’s especially pertinent if you’re a moms’ group proofreading your shit at Kinko’s and a juicy Hitler quote smacks you square in the face. And if you’re a moms’ group that’s already been flagged by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an extremist organization, as Moms for Liberty has, you may want to goose-step especially lightly.
The Hamilton County, Indiana, branch of Moms for Liberty, the putative extremist group in question, recently hit it out of the park with the latest edition of its newsletter, “The Parent Brigade.” Not only did it feature a Hitler quote, said Hitler quote was on the cover! Like, where you’d normally put a Dr. Oz quote—which, despite everything you’ve seen and heard, is still marginally better than a Hitler quote.
Marginally.
