Will Smith has disappointed us in ways we could’ve never imagined.

In an interview, the 39-year-old family man and former-all around good guy says he sees the good in everyone, including Adolf Hitler.

"Even Hitler didn’t wake up going, ‘Let me do the most evil thing I can do today’. I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was ‘good’. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming,” Smith told the Daily Record.

Um, yeah, except for the whole killing six million Jews thing.

Will, you’ve broken our hearts.

It’s you that needs reprogramming.

Mother of Mercy, is this the end of Rico, er, Big Willy?

Another resident of Hollywood who should not speak without a script.

Perhaps he wants to co-star with Mel Gibson.

Reprogramming?
Did he turn $cientologist. If his grandmother was still alive, she would slap him.

[PAR35]

Perhaps he is planning to endorse Hillary.

Sounds just like my Mom who was indoctrinated in Hitler’s schools before and during WWII.

I can’t help but scream in frustration at her cause she STILL says that Hitler was a great leader!

[SolidWood]

OUCH!!!

The headline is misleading, he didn't say Hitler was a good person, he said everyone has some good in them including Hitler. I suppose you could say he liked his dogs if you're looking for "good" in him...but that doesn't make him a good person...he did unfathomable evil.

Sounds like Smith has been spending too much time with Tom Cruise and his Scientology crap.

But the trains ran on time ... until the 8th Air Force bombed the heck outta them.

'Hitler Was a Good Person'

Where exactly did he say those exact words? Until they can provide THAT quote this is just sensationalism.

[advance_copy]

What a tremendously stupid thing to say.

[Always Right]

I think Will hired Pat Buchanan’s old PR guy.

[mnehring]

...there is one thing we need to consider, this is Page Six.. they have thrown complete BS out there before, especially on people who are in the news.. this could be made up article or completely misquoted..

Another case of “Shut up and act!”

Dear Will Smith, Love your recent movie. Please remember the wise words: Pro 10:19 When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise. Discipler, Minnesota

This is a good example of humanist thought - that, at the core, all people are somehow ‘good’ and that matters of right and wrong are relevant to many factors. He’s just saying what he believes. He rejects the notions of evil and sin. Let’s pray that a) Will Smith will wake up before he dies, and b) that he sticks to acting.

Just a wild guess - given Smith’s statement —> antisemitic !!!

[spookie]

my father always told me that everyone can be a good example for others. For example, Hitler is a very good example of a evil person and should be put away. Everyone agrees Hitler was the worse, thus, excellent example of what not to be.

This guy is so freakin’ dumb. Never liked his acting in fact he’s such a ham he ruins movies. So I avoid movies that he’s in. Chris Tucker is my idea of a great black actor. This guy sucks. You never feel he’s the guy he is acting to be.
