NYC Fire Commissioner's Son Tweets: "I like jews about as much as hitler"
He's an EMT with the FDNY on the fast track to be a firefighter
The first-responder son of city Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano has unleashed a sickening slew of tweets that target everyone from Jews to blacks to the poor.
Joseph Cassano, 23 — who yesterday's Post revealed is working as an FDNY EMT in an apparent bid to fast-track his promotion to firefighter — regularly uses the derogatory term "shwoog" when referring to black people, and once tweeted, "I like jews about as much as hitler."

Is he saying he likes Jews as much as he likes Hitler or he likes Jews as much as Hitler likes Jews. Because if it's the former then that's how you Godwin the internet.
Curse you, Twitter, for your enforced lack of clarity.
Someone in the Northeast making a racist comment?? Mind: blown.
