n a 2010 radio interview, Frazier Glenn Miller, the man suspected of killing three people Sunday at a Jewish community center and a Jewish retirement center in Kansas, said he was interested in the tea party, voiced support for then-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and spoke approvingly of Ron Paul, the Texas Republican congressman and presidential candidate. In late April 2010, Miller, a former Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon, was a guest on The David Pakman Show, a nationally syndicated left-of-center radio and television program. At the time, Miller was running for US Senate as an independent in his home state of Missouri with the slogan "It's the Jews, Stupid," and Pakman pressed Miller on his extreme views.
During the interview, Miller was unabashed about his anti-Semitic positions. When asked whether he thought the United States would be better off if Hitler had succeeded, Miller responded, "Absolutely, the whole world would Hitler would have created a paradise on Earth, particularly for white people. But he would have been fair to other people as well." He added, "Germans are blamed collectively because of the alleged so-called Holocaust."

Hitler? Right, all those he deemed worthy. Holy crap, these people are totally insane and should be locked up somewhere.

That is tragic.

(115,584 posts)4. Yeah, too bad he wasn't busted for something less lethal
a long time ago. Wonder what the wingnuts have to say about this bastard?

NSA spends hundreds of billions a year on electronic spying, and hasn't caught a single muslim terrorist. Couldn't they have spent $49.95/mo on cable TV, listened to this guy's deranged rants, and prevented the deaths of three people? We're spending a lot of money foolishly, on the wrong terrorism threat.

That explains why Blacks were treated so well in Nazi Germany and so many Black soldiers made it out of the POW camps. All that fairness.
