Please bask in the Hitler vs. Coulter Quiz.  I got 9/14.

got 12/14, mostly by looking at the style of language

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what i tried to go on, too.

I got 12/14 by assuming, in the absence of obvious clues, like referencing the destruction of America or Democrats, that the more elegantly written passage would be Hitler.

[tinellaq.livejournal.com]

I got 11 and a cold shiver or two.

Except there were at least a couple Hitler quotes that referred to "America". I wonder whether the person who wrote that quiz "translated" German & Germany to American & America, or if the Hitler quotes came from some interview with an American magazine or something.

Yerp. USENET told me so! And then poking around some more:

From the quiz:
"We must study this vile liberal technique..."

From Mein Kampf:
"We must study this vile Jewish technique..."

Next quote from the Coulter-Hitler Quiz:
"Taking these consequences into account, it is no accident that it is always primarily the liberal..."

From Mein Kampf:
"Taking these consequences into account, it is no accident that it is always primarily the Jew..."

From the quiz:
"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."

From Mein Kampf:
"Hence it is that at the present time the Jew is the great agitator for the complete destruction of Germany. Whenever we read of attacks against Germany taking place in any part of the world the Jew is always the instigator."

etc. Pretty lame.

VERY lame. Hmph.

Same here. A big clue was whether the quote was about "Liberals" vs. "The Liberal".

thought it was a trick quiz

[lammah.livejournal.com]

Only got 6/14, cuz I thought the punchline would be Coulter had come up with every quote...that she hadn't is even scarier, I think.

Funny, I picked 'Hitler' for every quote, and did better than you.

11 Right

[mouseworks.livejournal.com]

I used the the style test.

[sambushell.livejournal.com]

9/14.

[nothings.livejournal.com]

I got 13/14, and the one I missed I should have gotten, since it said "when we read of", and obviously only one of them wrote in an era when people got their news through reading.

[urbeatle.livejournal.com]

Are you sure it doesn't randomly re-answer questions for you? I got 11/14, but I swear I marked at least two of the quotes as Coulter, but it said I marked them as Hitler.

[madmerle.livejournal.com]

Actually, I also recall one question I distinctly answered one way and it came out the other in the eval. Hmm.

[madmerle.livejournal.com]

I got 9/14 as well. Eeek.

[thedarkages]

10/14. Not clear whether the quotes were "massaged" to make them more similar -- otherwise, everything referencing "America" would be Coulter, and who knows what the German word translated as "liberal" actually was?

[matrushkaka.livejournal.com]

10/14 for this midget.
