Jewish Defence league. Are they really that dumb?

Pro-Hitler? No. Anti-semitic? Possibly. Phenomenally stupid? Absolutely.

We all have impulses to cruelty, and Hitler and the Nazis joyfully gave theirs free rein. When someone declares people sub-human, confiscates their property, murders them en masse, including children, harvests their fillings, makes people dig their own mass grave, etc., etc., etc., you don't look back on that with a shrug and say, "Well, he meant well."

Hitler was pretty much the poster boy for megalomania. Self delusion is inherent. He DID mean well, he DID not think of himself as evil. You weaken your own argument if you deny facts.

It seems to me you are reading in some type of apology for the actions of Hitler in Mr. Smiths statements. It's not there. Hitler was evil on an almost unimaginable scale and what Hitler thought of himself does not change that score.
