 :The entry given was created by author "anti-communist/anti-fascist" who also wrote definitions for the terms "kkk" and "gay marriage." Not only were the entries written eight years ago, they were also written down the same day. It seems obvious that said author took that day to spread his own personal political views, and should not be treated as normal day-to-day speech. Furthermore, there is no other reference to Hilary Clinton in this strip. I am removing the incomplete tag from this explanation. If the need is felt to restore it, please give a more justifiable reason. [[User:Castriff|Jimmy C]] ([[User talk:Castriff|talk]]) 02:13, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

 I'm pretty sure that this is a reference to a German play called The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui (Der aufhaltsame Aufstieg des Arturo Ui).  It's a satirical allegory about Hitler, where Hitler's name in the play is Ui.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Resistible_Rise_of_Arturo_Ui [[Special:Contributions/108.162.221.173|108.162.221.173]] 12:04, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
