Hitler’s estate sues Tea Party for copyright infringement

The relatives of Adolf Hitler have issued a cease and desist order to the members of the Tea Party movement for unauthorized use of Fuhrer’s image in posters comparing President Barack Obama the leader of the Nazi party.

Andy Hiller, a descendant of Hitler (the family name was changed after the WWII) as well as other aunts, uncles and cousins of the Hitler line have been quietly incorporating Hitler’s name and image to prevent unlawful use.

“Do you know what it’s like to be a Hitler and watch movie after movie, book after book come out about the guy and you don’t get to see one red cent?” Hiller says. “Like I don’t have enough painful reminders of what a monster he was.”

Hiller says his and his relative’s aggravation boiled over when members of the right-wing Tea Party movement started painting Hitler moustaches on pictures of President Barack Obama.

“I mean come on! If Obama is Hitler was does that make Dick Cheney? I’m not trying to limit people’s freedom of speech but let’s get our analogy’s straight okay? Barack Obama is black and from what I remember of the Nazi’s they weren’t so big on people of color. There are plenty of black dictator’s for these Tea Partiers to choose from, why not go with Robert Mugabe?.”

Says Hiller, “America was far more racist back when Martin Luther King was doing his thing and I don’t remember the KKK drawing Hitler moustaches on pictures of him.”
