A lot of the holocaust deniers claim that they aren't racist.

Perhaps his brother Osama Bin Laden II should get some sympathy too.

Why would she jump down your throat, unless they are the moderators of said BC discussion session, then you should ignore people who would do such a thing. With that said, I dont think TT would care.

I dont care if it was racist or not, they ruined their childs life. Probably were going to breed that child to become a racist leader or some racist organization. But personally I think its racist.

pfft... i got your back besides if you explain that this is a follow on in the description you should be fine, its only annoying when people ressurect a thread to add one word, or that people will continue a thread that lost stem like 3 months before hand or when people create threads that are exactly the same as a thread that has been created before

i may be stating the obvious but... you don't think about it until someone puts it out there

I totally agree - just the first name would have been fine and none of this would have happened.

Digging this up from the archives. Apparently the child and his two sisters have been taken by authorities.

I wonder if those people know that any living relatives of Hitler and all their descendants changed their own names and never spoke about their relation to Hitler.

Why would two random people pick to torture their children. Not even Hitler's own family want to be a Hilter!

I have two blog posts on this from my Families in the News blog...

One on this specific situation on Wednesday: http://familiesinthenews.blogspot.com/2008/12/boy-named-adolf-hitler-denied-birthday.html

And one from back on October 17 featuring the girl named, "Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii" in a case where such names were ruled by the court to be a form of abuse (in New Zealand): http://familiesinthenews.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-zealand-some-names-are-so-weird.html

I have seen your breasts and they are long past viable, try Christian aid's carrier bags for life appeal.

Not in the near future but if I can add some ready cash to my council house and poor persons allowance it all helps.

I presume you have seen this?
http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/11/25/benito.italy.name.ap/
about right wing italians paying people to name their kids after mussolini?

Useless fact: my first proper boyfriend had middle name of Adolf - he was black. His dad had a sense of humour. I went on to marry P W Botha.

Sure he was evil, who is denying that. But on the other hand he also had influence over many people, you can't just can't ignore that by just posing him evil.

@flamingpoodle

Frankly I am not surprised that people who base their conclusions on the origin of mankind by breeding fruit flies and who think a foetus is a giraffe or not human would be trumpeting the rights of white supremists...

The child's full name is not Adolf Hitler, it is Adolf Hitler Campbell.

Some people seem not to know the difference between Adolf Hitler Campbell and Adolf Hitler, so I won't be surprised if Susan Sarandon gets arrested in that case. That is, if we lived in a society where thoughtcrime was a crime.

FP, most places know the difference between initials for a name, and a family insisting that a child's whole name be used - who happens to be named Adolph Hitler, with swastikas on the cake.

See what I mean?

besides, Susan Sarandon would hire a personal chef, anyway :P

flamingpoodle on 'Parents Named Their Son "Hitler"...Not Racist'

flamingpoodle — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 23:48:15 -0600

Imagine you are Susan Sarandon and your caterer puts 'Happy Birhtday SS!' on your cake. Next thing the thought police comes sliding through your window, abseiling from helicopters to arrest you for a hate crime against humanity...

flamingpoodle on 'Parents Named Their Son "Hitler"...Not Racist'

flamingpoodle — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 23:44:35 -0600

What is the crime? Next thing you'd want to arrest everyone named Paul from their parents because it sounds like Pol Pot. How about everyone named Rudolf because it's the same name as Rudolf Hess? Are their parents committing a hate crime against humanity? Should we stop singing Rudolf the Reindeer at Christmas time? What about parents who name their kids Joseph, because it's the same name as Joseph Stalin? How close should the match be before it's a hate crime against humanity to name your child after a historical figure?

It's not a crime against humanity until an actual crime has been committed. Until such time, you are proposing an Orwelian thought police and that has far more dangerous implications than naming your son after a world leader.

As a result of the outcry, Walmart seems to be reviewing their policies.
