Time Magazine States the Obvious

You were expecting John McCain maybe?
The runners up were Henry Paulson, Nicolas Sarkozy, that Chinese guy who produced the Olympics opening ceremony, and yes…Sarah Palin.
Idiocracy Watch: No Cake for Little Adolf
“Idiocracy Watch,†chronicles stories that expose the fact that the U.S. of A. is a nation of stupid people who blend anti-intellectualism with racism to create ignorance and intolerance.
Tolerance-challenged Heath Campbell and little Adolf Hitler Campbell.
Maybe it’s a free-speech issue, as some commenters on the story maintain, but somehow you can’t blame the local ShopRite with declining to decorate a birthday cake for 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell. As if that’s the worst thing that’s going to happen to that kid as he makes his way through life, saddled as he is with dumb white-supremacist parents. By the way, his sisters are named JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell (we assume they meant “Himmler,” not “Hinler,” but who knows).

The family lives in Holland Township, New Jersey, and the Lehigh Valley Express-Times reporter/photographer gives us a peek inside the Campbell home through a photo album.
In its defense, the ShopRite offered to provide a cake with a space left for the Campbells to fill in little Adolf’s name, but they declined. Not to worry, though, the local Wal-Mart had no qualms about decorating the cake, so the little dictator’s birthday party was saved.
“Might as well put a sign around their (the children’s) neck that says bigot, racist, hatemonger,” said Anti-Defamation League Director Barry Morrison. “What’s the difference?”
