''Oh. My. God. Jeff Tweedy IS a Nazi!! Oh crap, now I see that the people condemning him were absolutely right, he has sold us all out! I bet marrying my Jewish sister was just a ruse to further his white supremacist agenda. All that liberal twaddle he spouts at his concerts is just a front ... Dammit, that’s the last time that turncoat comes to our Yom Kippur services!...Have I ruined my chance to get a free Volkswagen?''|[http://dannymiller.typepad.com/blog/2007/05/the_thanks_he_g.html Danny Miller] (Tweedy's brother-in-law), in response to a thread complaining about [[Wilco]] songs in VW ads.}}

Systematically killing everybody who disagrees with you just to be turned into a cartoon character like fucking [[Lex Luthor]]!? To think I could have had a normal moustache all along like [[Josef Stalin|Stalin]]! I have had it with these Americans. If they cannot tell the difference between a genocidal maniac and those fucking teabaggers they can all go to hell!''|[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}a4lJ9vsZjMU&p{{=}}751014BC83DD7643&index{{=}}36 Hitler finds out Americans are calling each other Nazis] (a ''[[Downfall (film)|Downfall]] [[Gag Sub]] where Hitler's goons inform him about his [[Villain Decay]] at the hands of American protesters using this trope)}}
