*But look, there’s a larger historical issue here, which I doubt if anyone disputes.*
OH FOR PETE’S SAKE. JUST TYPE IT OUT. “I. WAS. WRONG.” Is anyone going to think any less of you if you just admit it?
*Those facts I well knew. The fact that Hitler himself did not serve in the Reichstag I had forgotten. But surely that was his choice?*
NO IT WASN’T HIS CHOICE. You didn’t “forget”—you never knew in the first place! Good God, just give it up. Admit you are in over your head and slink away.
*Irrelevant to what? If I remember, Hindenburg did not really want Hitler as chancellor, but appointed him anyway. Do you say different?*
It doesn’t matter why Hindenburg appointed him. We’re talking about whether or not Hitler was ELECTED—remember, fool? ELECTED. He wasn’t. EVER. Just admit you were WRONG.
What in the holy h*ll is wrong with you? Are you sick? Are you here ONLY to insult, or are you going to finally tell us something that matters?
Are you going to rationally dispute my statement that Hitler's Nazis first came to power more-or-less legitimately, having received about 43% of the vote in 1932 -- or are you just going to fire away with a constant barrage of insults?
Of course, I would be interested to learn a fact or two from you, if you have any to contribute. If you want to explain to everyone -- nicely!! -- why Hitler did not serve in the Reichstag, that would be helpful information everyone will appreciate, I'm sure.
Go ahead, give it a try. Teach us something that matters. You might even like it! ;-)
Now, now j-damn. Go back and look, and you'll see. From the beginning this exchange I SAID Hitler was APPOINTED chancellor after his party was ELECTED with 43% of the vote.
