1. Lol, I got a 43% Correct

Shows just how similar they really are!!!

[Fridays Child]

2. Fun!

I got 12 out of 14 right. :)

[Minnesota_Lib]

3. Eleven correct...but they sound like they are joined at the hip.

[MrSlayer]

4. I got 11.

Amazing how close they are to each other.

[davidinalameda]

5. I scored an 11 when I took it as well

honestly, I had to really read the questions carefully or else I would have scored lower

[Ringo84]

6. Got an 11

That's definitely disturbing.
Ringo

[whistle]

7. Eventually Ann Coulter will claim all of those quotes as her own

[Liberal_Dog]

8. I Got 10 Right

Definitely had trouble distinguishing between the two of them.

[Ian David]

9. That was hard...I got 10 out of 14 right. n/t

[Brigid]

10. I got a 10.

Scary how it's hard to discern which one said what. :scared:

[Ian David]

11. Who said it: Al Gore or Adolf Hitler?

Let's see the Repukes try THAT one.

[farmbo]

12. Scary: the rhetoric of both authors is the same...only the syntax differs

Yuck...I need a shower.

[mcscajun]

13. 8 out of 14 right. It's depressingly scary how difficult it is to tell

them apart.

Of course, as I don't listen to Coulter... :)

[Berry Cool]

16. I got 13 out of 14. And you know what was the only way I could tell?

The sentence construction of the Hitler quotes was a bit older and more stilted and archaic-feeling.

However, the sentiments expressed? No difference.

[idgiehkt]

17. which one did you miss?

I missed these two:

"Hence it is that at the present time the liberal is the great agitator for the complete destruction of America. Whenever we read of attacks against America taking place in any part of the world the liberal is always the instigator."


Liberals always get a lot of credit for suffering, while never actually being made to suffer."

[lfairban]

41. That's pretty much how I did it too.

I got 10 right out of 14.

Hitler often used very convoluted sentence structure. Coulter does a little bit better.

I was reading Mein Kampf a couple of years ago. Sometimes the translator would put the original German in footnotes. He was saying, "I know this doesn't make any sense, translate it yourself, it doesn't make any more sense in German than it does in English."

[mcscajun]

43. I went for the same thing...but still didn't get it.

I guess I have no feel for Ann Coulter's speech...and that's a Good Thing. :)

[Sequoia]

52. Same here.

Also, he wouldn't talk about America's liberals.

[Doctor_J]

14. 8/14!

And I am pretty good at history!

[idgiehkt]

15. I got 12 right.

But I confess that I cheated a little. I went by sentence structure and word choice rather than content after the first few questions, because these are so damn hard. I guess we know who Coulter was in a past life.

[BuyingThyme]

18. 11/14

[CAG]

19. 8 of 14. Very telling that u can't tell a difference. We should send it

to the freepers. I wonder if they would get some chills down their spines. Do chickenhawks have spines?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

20. That is a good blog, thanks

LOL

[ruggerson]

21. This needs to get out there n/t

[lonestarnot]

22. Only 7 out of 14.... boooooh me.

[redherring]

23. I got 11 right

[teknomanzer]

24. I got 10 correct...

I foolishly assumed that where America was mentioned the quote would be from Anne the man. I figured Hitler's rhetoric would be focused on Germany alone. Oh well.

[il_lilac]

25. 10 correct for me

they do sound strikingly similar tho!

[PatrioticLeftie]

26. I got 12 out of 14

Wow, and I was guessing the entire time. Funny just how similar they are in their speech.

Wait, it's not funny at all. Reprehensible, really.

[Terran1212]

27. 8/14

[davidinalameda]

28. thanks to those who have recommended this

:loveya:

[Random_Australian]

29. 13/14

Hitler's style was slightly older, he was more into conspiracy, and I have just had a psychology exam.

Missed this one:

"Hence it is that at the present time the liberal is the great agitator for the complete destruction of America. Whenever we read of attacks against America taking place in any part of the world the liberal is always the instigator."

Seemed so American-centred.

Realllllllly should have picked it from the words "the liberal" x(.

[NoSheep]

30. 7 correct - that was difficult. I relied mainly on language "usage".

And even that didn't help! Sad. Fucking sad.

[catzies]

31. I got 12 right (gasp!) becaue I assumed Hitler to be the better writer

of those phrases. And that turned out to be mostly true.

Not only are Ann's opinions ghastly, so is her writing.

[Ilsa]

32. I got 11 right and I've never read Coulter! eom

[enki23]

33. 14/14. i get the point, but the differences in voice were pretty apparent

.

[K8-EEE]

37. Yes Adolph's Language Was A Bit Dated,

However the sentiment was amazingly the same! I really just went by the lingo, got only one wrong.

[Beelzebud]

47. Adolph was also a more talented writer than Coulter. :D

Sad to say, but it's true. I could tell which ones were Hitler because his crap at least seemed to come from an educated mind. (not that I agree with any of it)

[progressoid]

34. k/r!!

[DarleenMB]

35. 12 out of 14

Hmm. Well some were easy to guess. Amazing since I've never read a thing she's written, except for excerpts from a couple of columns. That was enough.

[K8-EEE]

36. I Only Missed One!

I missed this one:

"The truth is another hateful "bourgeois institution."...liberals always seem to be enthusiastically defending liars. Lying is their most cherished human activity."

That was Annie, I thought it was Adolph.

[laundry_queen]

38. 11 for me.

I've never read anything Ann Coulter has written. I've heard/read some Hitler speeches in books and on TV history programs, but it's been a long time. There is a difference in writing style, but not much difference on the sentiment is there?

[MADem]

45. I got the same score

My problem, apparently, is that Coulter sounds TOO MUCH like Hitler, so I was giving Hitler "credit" where credit wasn't due him!!!!

[BrewerJohn]

39. I only missed this one

"These scum manufacture more than three quarters of the so-called 'public opinion,'...To give an accurate description of this process and depict it in all its falsehood and improbability, one would have to write volumes."

Having gone through this experience, I now have an idea of what it must be like to try
to identify the variety of corn of kernels dug out of turds.

[Greyskye]

40. 12 right

Hitler has a better command of the language - at least in translation. :crazy:

[LeftishBrit]

42. I got 11 out of 14

But a couple were obvious because of references to 'America' or 'the Democrats', which would not have been a concern of Hitler's. They do sound frighteningly similar.

[smoogatz]

44. Got them all.

But only because Hitler's use of language is considerably more elegant than Coulter's.

[Fovea]

46. WHoo HOO! I win at the internets!

I got 12 right.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

48. missed one. Anne Heilter!

[joefree1]

49. Bwahahahahahahahah

Now mass e-mailing to everyone I know.

[robertpaulsen]

50. Nine out of 14.

:kick:

[Sequoia]

51. I got one wrong.

Hilter was smarter than she by a long shot.

[helderheid]

53. 9 right

[Ian_rd]

54. 11 of 14 right! It became obvious because Hitler is more eloquent ...

... despite he and Coulter sharing near-identical philosophy.

Edit: Nice find btw. K&R.

[davidinalameda]

55. is it wrong to kick your own post

:rofl:

[Wonk]

56. a kick, for those who missed it (and keep posting dupe threads)
