In 1965, the great Tom Lehrer sang in "Wehrner Von Braun,"
Gather round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun
A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience
Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown
"Ha, Nazi schmazi," says Wernher von Braun
Now, in 2009, the Brownshirts have resurfaced in the Land O'The Free and The Home O'The Brave. Those striving to be the Oberster SA-Führer of the Brownshirts are The BFI, BillO The Clown, Glen Dreck, Sean Handjob, Orly Lack Of Taste, and the grassroots organizers of the Tea-Baggers, Birthers, Deathers, and other assorted Dumbasses. If this is (fair & balanced) hatred of homegrown Brownshirts, so be it.
