”Ummmmm, Hitler wasn't as far as I know a vegetarian, a radical enviromentalist, nature worshipping, anti-smoking fanatic, an animal rights activist, or an anti-Christian.”

You really should look into it a little more. The problem with most people is that they view Hitler as one-dimensional. A cartoon character with a silly mustache who started WW2 and killed a lot of Jews.

He was a vegetarian. He was - for his time - a radical environmentalist. The Nazis did worship nature as part of their Pan-German desire to take Germany back to the imaginary world depicted in Wagner’s operas. He was opposed to smoking. And he persecuted the Christian Church and threw many of its leaders into concentration camps. Unmentioned in the article, he was also a war hero and a sex object for German women.

The John Kerry of his day?

Ok, I can see that stuff fitting. I remember he studied art, but never got far there. Yeah on the one side they persecuted Christians that opposed them, on the other side Hitler died a Catholic never denounced by the church. I think they even tried to use Christian anti-semitism.

Hehe, I doubt John Kerry is considered a sex object :-).

I also don't think everytime a politician is sexy, artistic, vegetarian, or a war hero who likes the enviroment, we should immediately compare him with Hitler.
