From Mel Brooks' U.S. News and World Report interview:
"I was never crazy about Hitler...If you stand on a soapbox and trade rhetoric with a dictator you never win...That's what they do so well: they seduce people. But if you ridicule them, bring them down with laughter, they can't win. You show how crazy they are."
This, to me, is so correct and M. Brooks was a jew himself...
