In the hilarious tradition of "Republicans demand Obama resign over Beyonce scandal"

In which the National Review takes exception to Obama's disapproval of the Holocaust.

Except oddly, unlike the Beyonce joke this seems to be perfectly serious and not a parody at all.

"Nazism may have been an ideology to which the United States was — and to which the president is — implacably opposed, but it is hardly “senseless.” By the early 1930s, the Nazi party had hundreds of thousands of devoted members and repeatedly attracted a third of the votes in German elections; its political leaders campaigned on a platform comprising 25 non-senseless points, including the “unification of all Germans,” a demand for “land and territory for the sustenance of our people,” and an assertion that “no Jew can be a member of the race.” Suffice it to say, many sensible Germans were persuaded."

And conservatives wonder why I hold them in contempt.
