Oh, fair enough. This is a black woman who says she needs to overlook the Sanger’s eugenics, racism, and partnership with the KKK and see the benefit of her advancing family planning.
Fair enough, and very mature of her.
So now will she also extend such courtesy to Jefferson, Washington, Jackson, Lee, Forrest, and many others who are exactly the same???

“All the old Progressives should be remembered in their true light rather than the rosy picture painted today.”

At a bare minimum, progressive heroes should be held to the standards they hold Jefferson and Jackson to.

The nazis were very much just following the progressives of America from a decade or two earlier.

But that does not change the fact that all reasonable people should also be able to agree that America would be far worse off had Margaret Sanger never existed.

What an obnoxious comment. It's not enough to state her opinion that America would have been far worse off if Sanger never existed, but she prefaces it with "all reasonable people should also be able to agree". 'Here's my opinion, and let me point out that reasonable people agree with it.'

Goebbels learned propaganda from them.
It’s been perfected in this country, most people don’t even recognize it.

That is quite literally true. Mengele was actually financed from the Rockefeller foundation in the prewar years.

Holy KKKrap!!! This woman is saying that diaphragms make genocide worth it????

This is what racist Germans said: “At least Hitler made the trains run on time.”

Mussolini made the trains run on time. Wrong Axis dictator. Germany had no such problem, before or after. Well, maybe in Bavaria, being a little more happy-go-lucky than your typically stern, punctual German.

"There is no question that Adolf Hitler, born in 1889, held some views that any reasonable person today would consider unconscionable."

"But that does not change the fact that all reasonable people should also be able to agree that America would be far worse off had Adolf Hitler never existed."

"Hitler oversaw the introduction of the Volkswagen Beetle, the first "assault rifle", jet aircraft and rocket science. Could man have even landed on the moon if it weren't for Adolf Hitler?"

(Hmmmmm. No, that doesn't work, either.)

Hitler also loved his dog.

Soon they will be glowing over him, after all he was a devout fascist/socialist just like them.

Edward Bernays was a Wilsonian progressive propagandist. Bernays (who was Jewish) wrote later in life that he was shocked that Joseph Goebbels was using his propaganda methods to manipulate the German people against the Jews.

For what its worth, Bernays was a nephew of Sigmund Freud.

“Say what?? Abortion and birth control are responsible for her success?? Not her parents? Not her church? Not the millions of armed services members who have fought to keep this great country free?

Truly deranged.”

The proper response to democrats on this kind of issue is to first quote Margaret Sanger on minorities, then agree that, yes, had not Sanger done what she had, the cities and suburbs would be full to bursting with criminals that the non stop crime wave would make it impossible for anybody to live and succeed

Adolf Hitler embraced some really horrific ideas, but he did do a lot for population control. And overcrowding in many cities in Europe.

And conversely for the presence of too many cities ("overcitying"?) in other parts of Europe.

“This means that most American women lacked the ability to plan the number of children they would have.”

Really? Good thing Margaret came along to plan for them.

Keli Goff’s a fool. Margaret Sanger believed in killing off the black race using medicine and medical treatments. She was a monster.
