It’s sad to see groups like GLSEN be accepted by the teacher's establishment and then allow the platform to go into the public schools and try and indoctrinate children. For example, they have something called the Day of Silence. Now they chose April 20 of all days to be the Day of Silence, I looked that up, I was like, ‘isn’t that Adolf Hitler’s birthday,’ I looked it up and sure enough it is Adolf Hitler’s birthday. I don’t think there’s a link there but how ironic. But they are using this day as a means by which to promote their lifestyle as if it is a positive thing.

Oh, enough with this "indoctrination" shit. Plus, a lot of other people were also born on April 20. As you say, there's no link there.
So, GLSEN seeks to "end discrimination, harassment, and bullying"?
Hitler sent homosexuals to the concentration camps and forced them to wear a pink triangle.
You do know what the S stand for in GLSEN, don't you? It's all right; I didn't either, a few minutes ago, so I googled it before commenting on it, and now I know. It stands for Straight. They are promoting the straight lifestyle as well, apparently.
It always amazes me that people think super evil top-secret organisations are controlling the world and leaving clever little clues everywhere for giggles. Why would they do that? And compromise the layers upon layers of complex secrecy that must exist to perpetuate these conspiracies.
If you're trying to secretly force through your Hitler-style policies onto the unsuspecting public, you're not going to choose Hitler's birthday because of some fanatical devotion to sentimentality.
I don't know about you, but I'd have a hard time trying to indoctrinate someone by taping my mouth shut.
Grow up. Here's some [i]real[/i] indoctrination .
I'm glad he pointed that date thing out.
Isn't the date of the Day of Silence different every year?
A quick wiki: "The Day of Silence has been held each year in April since 1996. The 2012 Day of Silence was April 20. The 2010 Day of Silence was held on April 16; in 2011 it was on April 15."
Yes, because Hitler was such a bastion of tolerance...
@Brendan Rizzo
Ummm, Saudi Arabia and Iran ring a bell? It may be bad here but it's far from the only place with intolerance. Hell, even in the most secular countries you'll find intolerant nuts like the nuts that claim Europe is being taken over by Sharia Law.
@ Brendan Rizzo
Pfft. I wish. We've got the BNP here in Britain appropriating everything even vaguely patriotic and making it racist
You've got Le Pen and the National Front finishing third in the French elections
You've got Brevik and his ilk in Northern and Central Europe.
Everywhere has got it's fair share of loonies, it's just more acceptable in America to display the crazy in public. In Europe the spectres of Nazism and Communism keep extremism relatively subdued in public life.
Wow. So Hitler had a birthday. You right-wing fundies have birthdays.
Hitler was a right-winger. Hitler Ate Sugar after all, therefore...!
I don’t think there’s a link there but how ironic.
Isn't it ironic that the 2012 Republican National Convention will take place on the same dates as the Nazi party Nuremberg Rallies?
I don’t think there’s a link there but how ironic.

I actually made that up. The Nazi party Nuremberg Rallies were always either shortly before or shortly after this year's date for the Republican National Convention. But Jerry wouldn't know how to look it up.
Isn't it funny that Jerry just happened to know the date of the Führergeburtstag by heart?
Y'know, Jer-bear, April 20th is also the birthday of actor and gay-rights activist George "Sulu" Takei. There's probably a link THERE, if you want to go looking for signs and portents. (Like your halfwit ilk ever do anything else.)

While I understand your frustration with the way things are in the States, you're now taking things to whole new, 'headache' levels.
Anyone notice that since Brendan started getting all 'headachey', 'headache' is no where to be seen? Maybe 'headache' didn't like the competition.
Hitler persecuted and killed gay people you ignorant piece of shit. If anything, creating a day of memory for all the gay people who have been persecuted and continue to suffer persecution to this very day on the day of Hitler's birthday is the best insult we can throw at those bastards.
Fuck you Hitler, we don't remember April 20th as your birthday, we remember it as a day of solidarity with our fellow man, the very thing you opposed.
The date in April of the Day of Silence varies. It was simply coincidence that it was on April 20 this year.
I might also point out that 4-20 is a BIG marijuana smoking day. That has nothing to do with Hitler or the Day of Silence either.
Now they chose April 20 of all days to be the Day of Silence, I looked that up, I was like, isn’t that the day the Supreme Court upheld the voiding of Western Electric's patents for insulating telegraph wires?,’ I looked it up and sure enough it is the day the Supreme Court upheld the voiding of Western Electric's patents for insulating telegraph wires(114 U.S. 447, 1885). I don’t think there’s a link there but how ironic. But they are using this day as a means by which to promote their lifestyle as if it is a positive thing.
I. Am. So. Sick. Of. The. Babble. Of. Stupid. People!
1) Hitler massacred gay people, you dumb fuck.
By an amazing co-inky-dink, April 20, 1945, was the day Soviet troops entered Berlin, the US 7th army captured the German city of Nuremberg, and US forces conquered Motobu peninsula on Okinawa. World War II was almost over.
On the same day, his 56th birthday, Hitler made his last trip from his bunker to the ruined garden of the Reich Chancellery in order to award Iron Crosses to boy soldiers of the Hitler Youth. Then, he slithered back underground where he lived a miserable existence for 10 more days before he finally ended his own life.
Obvious, April 20 is NOT a day that celebrates Hitler.
So, it’s more likely that the date for the Day of Silence commemorates the 8th recorded perihelion passage of Halley's Comet in 295.
Or any of the 206 other incidents listed at the following website
or, most likely of all, none of them.

I was like, isn’t that Adolf Hitler’s birthday
Of course you were... doesn't everyone know Hitler's birthday?
@Atheissimo
If Jerry-boy here is so moist for coincidences, then he shoud be soiling himself over the fact that François Hollande's election as President of France happened during the May bank holiday here in the UK - which of course is very soon after May Day, the Socialist holiday*.
Monsieur Hollande is the leader of the Socialist Party...! >:D
But all the best to our French commenters, in your victory over the Conservative womaniser Sarkozy (in bed). Vive La Revolution!
*- On May 5th here in the UK Labour gave the Conservatives & their Liberal Democrat bum-chums a right old kick in the bollocks via the local elections; the Tory & LibDem council seats, nay, whole councils falling to Labour! (But you lot in London who voted for... him ; if you want Boris 'Bozo the Clown' Johnson - Harry Enfield's 'Tory Boy' character for real - over Ken Livingstone, then you deserve him).
The Day of Silence is used to show solidarity and respect for all the gay people, particularly young people, who are teased, bullied, beaten and killed by people with attitudes like yours. And there is no "indoctrination" of children.
Insensitive prick.
and? whats your point? would it make any difference if they had chosen Stalin's birthday? or Mussolini's? or how about rodrigo borgia? or julius caesar? or alexander the great? or ghengis khan? or any other historical figure, good or bad. every day is some villains birthday, there have been too many years, and too many villains for every day to be "pure" enough
Jerry?
Asshole?
They're spitting on Hitler's birthday by co-opting it for their Day of Silence.
Hitler was behind the most comprehensive regime of genocide in modern times.
By having their Day of Silence on Adolf's birthday, they seek to remind the world of this fact.
This is not a bad thing.
Your rotting cranial matter, however, is very, very bad, Jerry. Seriously, get a replacement brain that might actually form a thought.
I looked it up and sure enough it is Adolf Hitler’s birthday. I don’t think there’s a link there but how ironic.
No, it's really not. If you look hard enough, you'll find that millions, if not billions of people have been born on April 20. At best, you have a coincidence - but even then, only because you're looking for connections to prove an incredibly idiotic posture.
"I looked it up and sure enough it is Adolf Hitler’s birthday. I don’t think there’s a link there but how ironic"
Not so ironic when you consider that among the main victims of Hitler's 'Final Solution' - Jews - were homosexuals. Mayhaps the date of said 'Day of Silence' is to show solidarity for those innocent victims of Hitler's tyranny. By thumbing their noses at Hitler's Skinhead/Aryan Nations/KKK/Tom Metzger/Fred Phelps & his WBC etc bumchums in this way, and on that date.
Never considered that did you eh, Jerry-boy...? And like I say in an equally ironic & 'Reverse Godwin'-esque way: Hitler was a right-winger.
I don't exactly see you & your ilk wearing T-shirts with the illustration of Karl Marx with the slogan 'I warned you that this would happen!', carrying placards with that classic poster of Che Guevara, proudly showing your membership cards of the Communist Party of America , and singing 'The Internationale' and/or 'The Red Flag'. Are you?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
