This may be the most asinine paragraph I've ever read on TFP. Since when can you not quote Hitler? The context is obvious and the point well made. It seems every piece leans over backwards to try to find fault with the conservative viewpoint.

"Just last week, an Indiana Moms for Liberty chapter put a Hitler quote in its newsletter and the story went national. The quote—“He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future”—was intended to warn parents what happens when a regime targets its children for indoctrination. But when critics are calling you ultra-right wing Christofascists, it’s probably unwise to invoke Hitler in any context."

Absurd. Why does one need to quote Hitler? Everyone knows that Hitler evokes unpleasantness. Do we not have enough other luminaries to quote? Are Hitler's quotes so special? It does not matter how anyone perceives the intention of a Hitler quote. It's just dumb to quote Hitler.
