Instapundit:
BAD NEWS FOR AHMADINEJAD AT THE WORLD CUP: "Did you ever think you'd see the same people waving Israeli flags and singing Deutschland über alles?"
No, but I wouldn't want to get on their bad side...
That would be the Nazi Anthem. Except for a tiny minority of skinheads, Germans don't sing it anymore. Does the Instapundit think Germans are still Nazis?
And what does "their bad side" mean? Are Germans like the incredible Hulk and Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde? Or is that a Nazi reference?
The Atlantic Review covers this in detail and explains the background of the Nazi anthem. This blog by German Fulbrighters also explains why nobody should be surprised that Germans wave Israeli flags and why the Instapundit is not the only one who got in wrong: He just recommended an incorrect blogpost, which was based on an incorrect article in a British newspaper. However, he should have realized the mistake by that paper and blog.
