One must consider what Marin Luther had to say about the Jews in context of what Christian Germans history of Jewish relations were, and were to become.

I think that might be a bit simplistic.

IIRC, some of the strongest proponents of surrender in WWI were Jews. As a result it was easy to stereotype them as the cause of all the misery that followed with losing in WWI. In addition, Jews had been very succesful in business and were not in the trades which was the sector that was first affected by the depression.

“...some of the strongest proponents of surrender in WWI were Jews. As a result it was easy to stereotype them...”

Also, 5 of the 7 ringleaders of the communist takeover of München in 1919 were Jews. That certainly gave credence to Hitler's assertions they were enemies of the country.

Good point because we must remember that Hitler was bad for everyone and not just the Jews.

We should be concerned about the direction of our country, but comparisons to Hitler will overexcite the alarms and then we’ll be glad that Obama is just a hard core leftist.

Hitler in Germany (and the German people) saw Stalin’s genocide of 7 million Ukrainians for no other reason than the Ukrainian farmers wanted to maintain private property rights. Stalin in the USSR was also a real threat. The USSR is so close to Germany in physical proximity it’s similar to NYC and Pittsburgh.

So, when the German people saw the wantan genocide of the Ukrainians and knew of the Stalin death camps in the USSR (Stalin, for the record, may have killed as many as 60 million of his own people)...

Hitler was a historical anomaly. Stalin was made into a hero by the U.S. movie industry of the WWII period...

Hollywood supported WWII because we were fighting alongside “Papa” Joe Stalin - even though we knew he was more genocidal than Hitler.

So, it’s an ugly business looking at history as it actually was and not how we’d like it to be.

The moral to my message? Don’t compare Obama to Hitler because when you find out he’s Stalin’s little brother you’ll breath a sigh of relief and say “At least he’s not Hitler.”

Thanks voters for electing Obama, we got our work cut out for us.

Thanks decrepit Republicans, you elected a despicable turncoat who hates conservatism even more than illegal immigration.

Well, FREEPS, lets get to work.
