Artistic Freedom vs Fascism in Austria

Austrian politician Jörg Haider was perhaps most notorious for making favorable comments about Adolf Hitler’s employment policies. But for many Austrians, the satire by comedy duo “Stermann & Grisseman” that aired on public television just days after the far-right leader’s death last October was over the top.
Read the rest of this piece about Jorg Haider's death on The Comment Factory.

My German isn't good enough to have understood everything, I relied heavily upon a friend interpreting what people were saying. It was a lot of fun though, and being able to understand some German was encouraging.

So read the shit out of my piece for The Comment Factory. You won't regret it.
