You'd think with a presidential candidate who sought the endorsement of someone who praised Hitler (yes, you Mr. Hagee), they'd be careful not to get into Holocaust talk.

But then again, this is the RNC we're talking about.

Barack Obama made a statement referencing his great uncle's helping liberate Auschwitz. It turns out it was Ohrduf he helped liberate, which was a subcamp of the infamous Buchenwald. Obama made a mistake, yet the important part of the story was correct.

But leave it to the RNC to even politicize the Holocaust. Even Alex Castellanos, he of the infamous "black hands" Jesse Helms ad, thinks this criticism is beyond the pale:

It's just too bad Joe Lieberman wasn't there with Obama. He could have whispered into Obama's ear, as he does with McCain every time he mixes up Sunni and Shia, Iran and Al Qaeda and the variety of other policies he gets wrong on an almost daily basis.
