“Today, a member of the communist party circulated a dated document that listed my name as the owner of a historical book found in many libraries,” Gale wrote in his letter to Flack.

"Please explain the framed Hitler picture, a signed book and your tattoo!" /S

Owning Mein kampf isn't that bad. It's a book, it can give you a look into the mind of one of the most famously evil who ever lived.

The book itself isn't very good. I remember reading it as a teen, and finding it very rambly

Mitigating factors for me:

• it's signed by Hitler and he had the signature authenticated
• he decided to call the person who publicized that he owned this book a communist for some reason? Presumably with negative connotations.

I don't know fuck all about this guy, but it's not a good look.

I somehow missed that his was a signed copy, that definately changes things.
