UKIP MEP's Hitler comments- is he actually correct in what he said

Cause not. Getting on a platform in a widely publicized meeting and talking about a wonderful guy Hitler would not get him any publicity, hardly any at all.

If I say John Terry is a great defender does that mean I support adultery?

He is correct

Hitler was a great man

Hitler wanted to be a painter, was a vegetarian and non-smoker and was concerned about over-population.

Maybe the Green Party should talk about him too.

It's obviously incredibly distasteful for an elected official to tell candidates to take inspiration from Hitler, even if he is just referring to his oratory skills. How can anyone not see that?

Hitler, according to Etheridge, 'achieved a great deal'.

Why didn't your little friend pick up some other great man/woman to show an example of a great public speaker? Charles de Gaulle, Churchill, Nixon, you name it. Why choose Hitler?

So what you actually want is free speech and truth to be stifled

Oh for ****s sake.

That's because he did. He went from school dropout to leader of Germany. He was a great orator who helped Germans buy into his vision. This was an Austrian man who came into Germany and got German people to buy into Nazism, essentially. He did achieve a lot. To suggest he did not is just pure ignorance and quite unequivocally idiocy.


He mentioned several as examples. Hitler was one example and a fine one at that. This guy was clearly a great orator and only people with their heads in the sand would suggest otherwise.

I think you've missed the point I was trying to make.

So what you actually want is free speech and truth to be stifled.

That's like saying I support pedophillia because I think Rolf Harris was a great artist.

Typical left wing nonsense, defemation, propaganda, inept enthusiasm to create racism which isn't there and create guilt complexes in society.

He's not wrong mate.

And would everybody please stop all this 'Hitler was a great man'/

Hitler was a great orator

Great men do not murder millions of people and then end their careers by killing themselves in a ****ing basement while their country gets bombed to oblivion.

Was he a great orator? When people say this they seem to be referring purely to the delivery of his speeches and nothing else. Yeah, he shouted a lot and waved his arms around. Awesome. Newsflash: it takes a lot more than that to convince a nation that an entire race of people needs to be eliminated. If you want to talk about Hitler as an orator, you cannot separate the delivery of his speeches from the content. Hitler was convincing because he lied a lot, dehumanised the Jews, and manipulated people's fears and prejudices when his country was at it's most vulnerable. Convincing? Yes. Great? No. Colossal ****ing douchebag? Yes.

Yes he is. The purpose of free speech isn't to grant you immunity from being called out on the stupid **** you say. Nobody is calling for this man to be thrown in jail for what his words, we're just saying he was an idiot... Or are we not allowed to do that.. ?

He's clearly had a massive effect on people. I mean why would you bother typing a whole speech regarding Hitler? Because he had an influence. Hence, his impact in History is applausible. That then makes him worthy of admiration, regardless of his actions.

Do you think it's appropriate to endorse a pedophile's raping skills or a murders knife skills ? Considering this is a speech we have to look at the context it was set in , feeding a child with chocolates is much easier compared to vegetables, but in the end both are considered "feeding". Post first world war Germany was in perils; A speech is not just about waving your hands or shouting , Hitler sold a lie which the people wanted to believe, hence all the followers. Do you believe this is endorsable ?

If he wanted to just endorse good oration there were so many other people which he could have referenced without the terrible connotation, he chose not to . Then we have justification to question it.
