"I see absolutely no sarcasm in his contradiction, and you have been unable to identify any."

You really think most people in the audience see the essence of Christianity as this;

"In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross."

No. No sarcasm there. That clearly is the essence of why Christ died on the cross, to get even with the Jews. That's what Christianity is all about.

This speech was delivered in Munich, in Catholic Bavaria. I don't think the audience would have taken that literally. But you, being a Hitler scholar in addition to all of your other achievements surely know best.

I'll note that the two tired quotes you trotted out are regular features on crackpot lunatic left sites, such as this:

NoBeliefs.com (Freethinkers)
http://www.nobeliefs.com/index.htm

And I suspect that is where you got them, or someplace very similar.

No serious historian doubts Hitler's contempt for Christianity. He said:

"The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity.” July 5, 1941. Table Talk p. 7.

There are hundreds of similar quotes for each of these you can find on you leftwing crackpot sites.

If these posts are your idea of scholarship, you are a joke. Which, given your preposterous back-patting, seems pretty clear anyway.

Read Martin Luther's 'The Jews and their Lies' and get back to me. It's freely available on the web.

You have no conception of the nature and pervasiveness of European anti-Semitism. You're arguing from ignorance. Educate yourself. Go visit the Prague Jewish Museum, or the equivalent.

Adolf Hitler, in his speech in 1922, said little that would have been any way unusual to his listeners. What he said was what most of them believed.
