Not hyperbole. Point by point there is little to no distance between the positions he promoted and what the Nazis espoused.
I have no doubt he would have felt very much at home in the party. Do I think it's OK that he was shot? No. Do I think
our national discourse will suffer from his absence? No. Just another self aggrandizing malignant carnival barker. I hope his story soon becomes yesterday's news.
