Nuff said.

Ya, the actions of a few always represent the whole.

You could draw the same conclusion about the Democratic party if you looked at other news sources.

Maybe, but don't those news sources come from the same devious and underhanded Republican party smear campaigns?

The point is that you can't judge the character of a large group from news coverage of a few of its members.

Until you see its leader and enough of its member doing some questionable stuff

[Artois]

Conversely, I am sure not all Nazi's party members were Jew murdering bigots, yet we judge the Nazi party pretty harshly through the actions of it's leaders.

If the nazis knew what they were doing though, then theres where the problem lies. Following directions, and killing people  is just as bad as making the decision yourself.

Wow--we made it to Nazis in just 6 replies.  That's got to be some kind of record for this forum!

Wow, haven't seen that since the BBS days, it actually turned into a Law now?  XD

But the point still holds true in both Artois' and BP's argument, just look the up the "Nazi that tried to save Nanging" or something similar to it

Ah yes, John Rabe, the Nazi of Nanking.

The Rape of Nanking was an absolutely horrendous atrocity perpetrated by the Imperial Japanese Army which killed 300000 in the early days of the Sino-Japanese War.

However, there were a few admirable, courageous and dignified Europeans and Americans (Oskar Schindlers within their own right) who did their utmost to save as many innocent civilian lives as possible. John Rabe, though officially registered with the Nazi Party, was one of them.

Sso basically he joined but didnt follow their actions or views, so he was a nazi in title only right? So in my view, thats not a nazi at all.
