These numbnuts and their Hitler comparisons need a swift kick in the nuts with a frozen boot. They've proven their lack of understanding and piss poor education by trying to draw an analogy.....and yes the spelling was intentional. They are the same type of sphincters, as the dumbass scum who compare NATO operations to SS occupations.

Hmmm....that sounds like something Hitler would say.

he is still considered a brilliant and charismatic orator.

Although by no means a history expert, I have heard as such.

In order to be able to rule an entire population and considering his accomplishments, he could have never been such an idiot, like some people seem to suggest.

danny, you were sleeping in history class again weren't you.

Hey hey! People liked him! Like you said. Smart and Charismatic. Even our Prime Minister liked him before the war started.

Hitler had charm,

He never had a majority though. The proportional system of representation allowed fringe groups like the Nazis to come to power within a coalition government.

The bible refers to satan as an angel of light. Deception is a part of the world we live in..

However, mainstream Judaism doesn't see satan as 'evil' per se. He is seen as the being that proves man's worthiness. If Satan/Lucifer was cast out of heaven for being evil, why was he still in heaven as told in the Book of Job? orthodox judaism sees the devil as more of an aggressive prosecutor.

Thank you! Maybe I can use that Hitler-vegetarian thing on my kid. Turning into a PETA-Vegan nutcase!

Keep in mind that his oratory skills were significantly augmented by pageantry and totalitarianism.

True enough. He was able to use propaganda to his advantage.

He employed the KISS principle when speaking to large crowds.

It worked just as well on the educated classes as it did on the plebes. It's still used today, as the Democratic Convention demonstrated with their 'Greek Temple'. They knew how to use imagery and the media to sell their message.

Some did support him, that's true (and many were university educated) but many groups, such as the Prussian gentry did not support Hitler (they were entrenched in many societal positions and the military) and a majority of the population actually didn't subscribe to many of his tenets. It's just hard to see that in the glowing light of a Nuremberg rally.

Oh...absolutely, propaganda did help, but a police state worked even better.

Some of the Prussian gentry were pissed because here was an upstart Austrian corporal who would dare to lecture them on how to wage war. Hitler also wasn't very subtle when it came to showing his disdain for the officer class, some of whom lost friends and comrades when he purged the wehrmacht of Jewish officers and those he considered dinosaurs.

Most thought his more extreme views were mainly rhetoric and propoganda, never envisioning that he would actually carry out the madness. Jews have always been popular scapegoats in Europe. The locals grumbled, things got dicey(some looting, burning and a few killings) for awhile, the Jews moved or went into hiding but things settled, the Jews returned and things were quiet for a few generations.

Hitler and Co., had other ideas. They purged the radical(Rohm being a socialist) elements from the party, to make it more appealing to the middle and upper classes. Much like the Liberal Party of BC(No... I'm not suggesting Good old Gordie is a Nazi), the National Socialists were that in name only, rather than practice.
