RE: I'm just asking questions - Normalizing Nazi talking points

Unfortunately, this has been growing for awhile. I remember reading a Pat Buchanan book (Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War": How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World - link) many years ago. It didn't go so far as to say Hitler was innocent, as many on the Right seem to want to do these days, but it did claim that he had no desire to attack Western Europe and that Churchill (who Buchanan also claimed was responsible for getting Britain into WW1 and thus making it a world war) was the guy who tricked him into it, more or less. So yeah, this idea has been on the fringe for awhile. Scary to see that it is now becoming mainstream.
