It is one thing to disagree with the politics, or supposed politics, of a source. It is another thing entirely to make comparisons to recognized evil.

That recognized evil became pertinent to this discussion the moment you responded to LG's documentation of the Fuehrerprinzip argument with a gratuitous slur against him for associating the common elements of that argument with the Lincoln one. You chose this course of debate. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

I have posted nothing - NOTHING - that can be construed as hate-filled by any person with half a brain.

You have made slanders upon other posters with unfounded accusations of bigotry and hate though, AND you have remained curiously silent as to whether you agree with Hitler's position while simultaneously demanding that everybody else denounce him. While I do not explicitly decry you as a bigot, enough reason exists for it to have crossed my mind and for me to make a fair inquiry about your beliefs, to which you have yet to respond.

You may not like the content because it is contrary to your own beliefs; you may not like some academic affiliation of the source author; you may not even understand the point being made; but, don't even try to suggest that I quote from "left-wing haters" without documenting your accusation. PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

Documentation #1: You extensively quoted and defended Finkelman, a left wing reparationist best known for being the SPLC's hired gun in the ten commandments lawsuit.

Documentation #2: You extensively quoted and defended Farber, a left of center loose constructionist law professor at Berkeley.

I "put up" this evidence here just as I put it up a long time ago. Now it's time for you to shut up and answer the question: do you agree or disagree with Hitler?

"Documentation #1: You extensively quoted and defended Finkelman"

A lie. And not even a particularly defensible one.

"Documentation #2: You extensively quoted and defended Farber, a left of center loose constructionist law professor at Berkeley."

I have quoted "extensively" from Farber - I have his book. Farber's style is to present opposing views on the issues and analyze them for strengths and weaknesses. Your friend nolu chan has also quoted "extensively" from Farber. That doesn't make him, or Farber, a "left-wing hater."

Slothful documentation from a slothful, narrow mind. You need to put a little thought into your otherwise knee-JERK responses.
