Jesus fuck, I can't believe I'm agreeing with Toke, but here I am.
What WSJ was slightly distasteful but I can see why they did it. Disney supporting a guy doing anti-semitic jokes out of context or not, probably isn't a good image for a company focused on kids. I don't think he's an anti-semite at all, I don't think many people think he's an actual anti-semite, but kids watch him and they're easily influenced, they might find it funny OR they might actually believe it and start thinking Hitler actually didn't do anything wrong.
