You seemed to have missed the point. Christopher said "it's always
the robber who first cries, "Stop thief!"." He wasn't just talking
about robbers, but making a more general statement: "those that accuse
someone of being an X are themselves an X". Then he calls your nice
Mister Clinton a Nazi. It follows from the principle that Christopher
has propounded that he is a Nazi himself. (That's irony, Alexander.)

No, it means you have bad taste.

Yes, I usually get a great big belly laugh over the antics of that
wacky Adolf Hitler. Genocide is one of the truly universal comic
themes. The holocaust was just a big practical joke. (That's
sarcasm, Alexander.)
