Show Alabama Court Terms Hitler Same As S! unk It's illegal in Alabama now to call anyone Adolf Hitler or a skur.k which, as far as the state court of appeals is concerned, are one and the same thing. The court upheld a S900 judgment judg-ment by a circuit court judge who made the award to a plaintiff allegedly al-legedly compared to the former German dictator. The defendant, it was charged, had posted a sign over nine bales of cotton, likening the plaintiff to Hitler. Since it is libelous to compare a person to "an odious, foul, or despised de-spised animal for example, a skunk" the court ruled that the same goes for calling anyone a Hitler. We might see the Republicans beating the Democrats on a pledge to prevent a recurrence of the blizzard that came in the latter's administration. Or the Democrats fighting the GOP on the claim that the worst humidity always came when the Republicans were in. |
