Of course the Hollocust happened but it was not all about Jews
This man wasn’t a revisionist; he was a holocaust denier who supported Hitler.
Unlike you and I, this man was actually old enough to have witnessed some of these events first hand.
That has absolutely nothing to do with this topic; plenty of people his age viewed the same things and completely disagree with his views and actions.
I don't think anyone human being is beyond redemption
Neither do I. That doesn’t mean that their past transgression simply wash away though, and this man doesn’t seem like he wanted redemption. This man had no redeeming qualities. He was a racist psychopath who believed in a host of neo-nazi nonsense instead of being a true independent thinker.
This is what maybe you don't get, that a lot of average people alive at the time didn't get...some rather notable people supported Hitler.
Forget about the Neo-Nazis, we were/are the Nazis!
Israel has hijacked the Hollocust for political reasons,
That blood is on all of our hands, yours too, and they will only ever get clean when everyone including you and me, takes responsibility for how our own dysfunctions play into all that.
How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think. ~ Adolf Hitler

So? That doesn’t make it right. This man was not one of those people, this man was living here, in the now, in 2009 and he was still supporting Hitler and supported Hitler’s actions.

Name me one politician in America who supports the current neo-nazi agenda and their purported history. You’re stuck in the past; we’ve moved on from that, everyone is not guilty of being a neo-nazi now because some prominent people in the past supported neo-nazi ideas.

This is an entirely different debate. Now you’re just going on tangent after tangent. I have no interest in going off topic with you.

Everyone in the world being culpable for some things does not excuse the actions of a deranged murderer and does not excuse his desire to be violent and willfully ignorant because of his deluded racism.

Yes, and it following your exercise makes it all the more clear why this man should be removed from society....
There are way too many crackpots on here and it's good to see cooler heads prevail...

Taking the big picture that has been painted into full consideration, it's important to walk this through to it's conclusion... which is that all 911 truthers should be removed from society.
As for your applause...

You can't be serious? If so, then it just shows how little you choose to see.

To speak more directly to the label of "murderer" for those who have such a hangup. Let's be honest with ourselves and one another... who hasn't felt the urge to end the life of another? Leave your impulsive urge to judge and condemn at bay while answering this question.
I would venture to say that we all have, the only difference is that very few act on this killer instinct that resides in all of us. But the fact remains we are all murderers in thought vs action.
So by putting von brunn's ultimate act to the side for a moment, we can see him versus not being able to see him behind the label "murderer"... same applies for the "racist" label.
The peeling back of these layers is not an action in advocating their premise, what you are doing is getting to the source of this man's beliefs and actions.
Do this simple task and see your objectivity and level of understanding expand.

In your initial posts, despite the prospects of getting attacked, you gave the thread a direly need important direction for inquiry. The generous and thoughtful effort you made in setting the record straight after being hit with a hand full of shallow knee jerk reactions, is no less then stellar. Your level of understanding is deep, broad and dead on target. Kudos and bravo dear sir
It's been fascinating to see the charges brought up against your insights on this matter. Amazes me that people are so quick to write someone off without taking into consideration all the layers to this complicated man. The pattern i see with the typical masses responses to news like this is very disturbing, which you have accurately pointed out is the main reason why we are in this mess... everything stays at the surface tied up in emotional banter. We all need to strive to place ourselves and others above the trees so we can see the forest for what it is... and encourage each other to review these topics/issues with greater integrity, compassion and scholarship... just as you have
As we know, and more should... the powers that be know how the majority of us lead our heads with our hearts and play to this weakness at every opportunity made and/or claimed.
