Brian Sack And A Puppet Explain Why You Should Stop Calling People You Don’t Like ‘Hitler’

» 31 comments

If there’s been one thing that every Mediaite writer since the origin of this website back in 1862 (don’t look it up), it’s that people need to stop calling other people “Hitler.” We’ve written a number of columns about the issue but it seems like, every few months or so, there’s a new rash of Nazi-name calling. Maybe GBTV’s Brian Sack will have better luck in ending Godwin’s Law with this clip from The B.S. of A. Sack’s making the same argument, however, he’s trying one thing we’ve never thought of; puppets.

In the clip, Sack informs his puppet friend Hoodie that he shouldn’t compare anyone to Adolf Hitler on his protest signs. Together they then sing a lovely song entitled “You’re Not Hitler” and teach everyone the valuable lesson that no one, be they George W. Bush, Barack Obama, or Brian Sack’s boss (who’s had his own problems with this concept), are anything like the Nazi leader.

It’s so true. Heck, modern day Nazis are barely like Hitler.

    I realize that most media personalities are unaware of the laws of logic and discourse, but Godwin’s Law isn’t necessarily a logical fallacy, and can sometimes be a valid point in a discussion.

    I agree, after all, Limbaugh was on the radio today taking up for the parents who named their children after Hitler and several of his henchmen.

    I kid you not.

  • Kid Dynamite

    Limbaugh would name his kids after Hitler if he was able to reproduce.

    But he can’t, just like you know who.

  • Kid Dynamite

    The appropriate insult is “Sack of Shit,” or “Sack,” for short.

    We have become a society of name callers and we look at every comment through a colored filter and can’t see the intention of the speaker but we must spin it to suit our own agendas. Can’t wait for a sound bite to take out of context to jump on to make those we don’t agree with look bad instead of looking for things we can agree on and work together on. Most people never even read or hear the original statements or facts so they can make any kind of intellegent decision. Minds are made up and lines are drawn and no one is listening.

    GBTV?

    I don’t listen to him so tell me how was he defending them? How can you defend or not defend them? Child protective services cannot by law tell us why they took the children away and the media and the parents would have you believe it is because of only their politics. I don’t like their politics but they have the right to believe how they wish. Naming their children with Aryan names is not sufficient abuse to take the children away but then we don’t know that is the reason they were taken away do we. I suspect Limbaugh was saying that the politics of the parents is not sufficient reason to take the children and that is a rightful stand by itself. For myself I think there is more to the story as CPS has lots of hoops to jump through to be able to remove children from their parents as it should be. But they must also abide by the law to protect the children and CPS cannot tell us their side of the story.

    I have an obvious distaste for Glenn Beck, but Brian Sack I like. I can appreciate someone who shits on everybody.

    Even though it still went over their heads, give Beck credit for programming to teabaggers on a level they might understand if they can focus long enough and not be distracted by any bright shiny objects or jingling keys.

  • Just some Blow Hard…

    People should google Glen Beck, Louis Black, and Hitler to see the divine irony in all of this.

  • Norbit

    That explains why you’re a Democrat.

    Perhaps all the righteous posters here would have more credibility if we’d seen or heard from any of them when Progressives were calling Bush the H word for years!

    Even though it still went over their heads, give Olbermann credit for
    programming to fleabaggers on a level they might understand if they can
    focus long enough and not be distracted by any bright shiny objects or

    Google… Olbermann, Chris Matthews, oh hell… anyone on MSNBC.

    Isn’t it strange tha Mike Godwin looks like a Nazi?

    What’s interesting is that GBTV has more subscribers (who pay) than Olbermann has viewers who can see his rant for free on undercurrent TV!

  • Just some Blow Hard…

    You obviously didn’t because a while back Louis black did a commentary on Glenn Beck calling everyone Hitler. I am sorry, but do you have links to Matthews or olbermann calling anyone Hitler?
