would STILL never associate the child with what Hitler had done,

I go for pretty crude humor but there's a time and a place for humor and for serious discussion.

These authors may want to re-evaluate their politics if bile is the only way they can oppose someone. Because when your opening salvo is making fun of a toddler with Down's because you hate his mom, you're not going to help anyone.

I'm not even a fan of Republicans, but I can't even say that I saw that image before yesterday.

What is it with you lately?
