Sidenote: this is not true at all. The German people were suffering the effects of the Treaty of Versailles. They were demoralized and felt oppressed and Hitler took advantage of a movement (set into motion long before he arose) to reinvigorate Germany to seize power for himself. One of the first things he did was eliminate any political opposition, including top military leaders, which might stand in his way. The German people supported him as far as rebuilding Germany and its economy, but they didn't at all wholesale believe in exterminating Jews, world domination and all that. They just wanted a stronger Germany. Remember that a lot of the Jews who were killed were German. Look into accounts of German life during the war and you'll see that by and large, with the exception of the rich upper class the German populace suffered greatly under Hitler and disliked him as much as, if not more than, anyone else.

I think Hitler was just misunderstood.

I'm a moral relativist - so I do not believe Hitler was "objectively" evil

The song "Springtime for Hitler" just came to mind.

So, what would Godwin do when Hitler IS the topic?

I dunno... do you lose the argument comparing him to Pol-pot or Caesar?

Oooh, I've got it: Castro!

Hmm... no that doesn't quite fly either. Hussein? Ahmahdinejad? King George?

Was there every anybody as evil as Hitler that time has simply forgotten? Who was Hitler before Hitler was Hitler?

George Bush?

Oh. You said before. Nevermind.

Anybody else here met and spoken with Will Smith for any period of time?

This is a perfect example of somebody taking a statement out of context, then another entity getting all crazy (JDL).

I think it's completely asinine when things get blown up like this. He was simply stating that he doubted Hitler would think he was a bad man, nothing any prison warden wouldn't back up, as probably 99.9% of people incarcerated think they are basically good people. Will sounds like he was using the ultimate in modern examples of evil as an example of this mode of thought,
