Dude on Facebook posts the old "Clinton Quote Sounds Like Hitler" meme

He posted this one...



Blecch, ya dumb kid. I did the right thing. I counterposted this

Bogus quote, btw. The guy who wrote the book admitted on CNN in 2006 that he didn't bother verifying Clinton quotes if he "felt like" Clinton might've said it.... according to how he saw Clinton.

[font size="4"]Hillary Clinton and Adolf Hitler didn't issue similar statements about putting the needs of society ahead of the needs of individuals.[/font]


Dude comes back two hours later and responds
