Maybe the point is you can get carried away sterotyping - each needs to be evaluated on their own merits not just a few generalized sound bites.

That Hitler thing...

Didn't he have syphylis?
Wasn't he an anti-smoking zealot?

And didn't he write Mein Kampf?

Ya'd think that would come out in the Iowa Caucuses

While he didn't have extramarital affairs, Hitler did have his mistress Eva Braun, who he married shortly before they both committed suicide. He also, if I recall, did hate cigarettes.

I understand that Hitler had an incestuous affair with his niece, and that she committed suicide.

Hitler was a nut-case pervert in every sense of the word.

If you can get a copy, "The Mind of Adolf Hitler" by Walter Langer is a psychological study of the man done for the OSS during the war.

If you got that book, the FBI would have you on their "monitor" list. Not only do you post to this forum, but buy Hitler books...

Those are more than Census workers at your door...
