You’re likely looking for my Hitler Is A MemeDownfall parody. It was pulled from the YouTubes a while back, but is still hosted at Break.com, where it was posted by Holy Taco shortly after its release. Watch it here:

This is what happens when you run a campaign based on distortions, lies and fearmongering. This is what happens when you continually ask “Who IS Barack Obama?”, implying that he’s not “one of us”.

That remains to be seen.
