Years later I discovered that Pat Buchanan had things to say along the same lines.
It's enough that Buchanan doesn't hold a candle to Hitler when it comes to anti-semitic intent and tone, but he's in there trying eh!
Mein Kampf was written a terribly long time before the Final Solution got really pumped up, but once the Nazi party got in charge of Germany they started executing the handicapped, mentally retarded, et al ~ those they described as having "lives not worth living". It only got worse.
The accepted standard is that the Weimar Republic set the stage for the pre-war Nazi atrocities. Experience there made it all the more easy for the Nazis to murder the Jews, the Gypsies, the Poles and anybody else who got in their way, or that they thought got in their way, or whose existence called into question the Nazi idea of the Aryan "superman".
I think the accepted standard is still in play. Buchanan's deviations from that standard suggest he has some antipathy toward Jews.
