    My guess is that he just read Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" and felt like those were well-presented informal fallacies.

    ah for fucks sake. you know who else would probably be apologising for hitler remarks if he were still around today? Hitler. What's it going to take for these people to understand the only side preaching suppressive ideas in this argument is their own.

    the entire basis of the jewish genocide in the nazi regime was based on ANTI-SEMITISEM FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, AND THE PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONS!!! The play book hitler used was basically ripped off from how catholics for well over a 1000 years were demonizing the jews. The only difference is that he made it a matter of national security, and the church just wanted to eradicate anything that wasn't under their control.

    The only supression of religious freedom under hitler was called the gas chambers and concentration camps, where he killed jews, gypsies, gays, and ethnic minorities.

    the catholics just murdered over 4 million people over centuries, and the nazi's did it in a decade.

    That's an oversimplification, please be more careful

    not historically. The catholic church was extremely anti-semtic. when the reformation happened, the anti-semitisem didnt stop. we really only saw a rejection of it after the holocaust, when people saw it taken too far, and woke up to its evils by witnessing it. There is nothing oversimplified in what I said, because the church itself remained silent during the holocaust when everyone else knew it was happening, and didnt denounce it until after the fact.

    the concept of secular anti-semitisem didnt exist before the holocaust, and techncially, it still doesnt exist. it still remains rooted in religious based animus, even if most religious movements now reject it. the flag of neo-nazism remains firmly planted in religious fervor. outside of fundementalist christanity and fundementalist islam, anti-semitisem has little hold.

    To suggest the Church played an acquiescent role is different than to suggest a causal role, which is an entirely reasonable reading of your initial post. It invites animus against Catholics for anger over a holocaust, and is not germane anyway.
