hillary may have told you when she will be writing the sequel to Mein Kampf? However you seem unable to show where even dems after WW II went around crying: "Where's Hitler? Why haven't we captured him?" Or is tejek composing the sequel to Mein Kampf? But after World War II, the Democratic Party suffered a form of what France had succumbed to after World War I. The entire party had lost its nerve for sacrifice, heroism and bravery. Beginning in the '50s, there was a real battle for the soul of the Democratic Party. By the late '60s, the battle was over. The anti-communist Democrats had lost. anncoulter.org

Ann Coulter is the epitome of the revisionist right-wing thought today. Yes, as a matter of fact, there was a LOT of concern about where Hitler was at the end of WWII. There was concern that he would mount a 'last stand' in Bavaria and potentially draw the war out as long as he was still alive. Only when it was proven that he was dead, by physical evidence and witnesses, that the world truly believed that National Socialism was dead. Similarly, Coulter's assertion that Joe McCarthy was right is ludicrous. McCarthy was a sick man who skillfully manipulated people's fears of communist threats into his own brand of totalitarianism, where people were afraid of their friends and afraid to speak their minds. To say that McCarthy was right because there were communist spies is akin to saying that vigilantes were right to string up suspected rustlers because there surely were rustlers out there somewhere (shamelessly borrowing from the Ox Bow Incident). Coulter will go the way of McCarthy, and I predict her name will become synonomous with yellow journalism. It is no wonder she admires McCarthy so much, as she clearly is attempting to emulate his 'success'.
