How about a statement about Hitler as Christian??? [etc. etc.] The sentence quoted above that Ken places between quotation marks was not written by me. However...in e-mail to me, Ken has claimed that the Jews brought the Holocaust on themselves and deserved what they got under Hitler: "They were asking for it!!!" So his public statements about Nazism are more than a little suspect. In the passage quoted above, note the way he ridicules those who are appalled by Nazism by portraying them as hissing and booing.
