Yawn. Is there really anyone who doesn't know Hitler was a socialist? I mean what part of National Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiters Partei (National Socialist German Workers Party) is unclear?

Without wasting a lot of time on the article, one thing stood out as wrongheaded: the discussion about Hitler and the Nazis being "middle class". There was no "middle class" in the American sense in Germany. Rather, there was (1) the aristocracy, (2) the bourgeoisie (non-noble rich, owners of significant businesses, etc., living primarily on undearned incomes), (3) the petit bourgeoisie or, to use the German term, Kleinbuerger, (4) the working class (the vast majority in urban areas, (5) peasants (farmers ranging from prosperous Frei Baueren with large farms to landless agricultural laborers, and (6) a relataively small lumpenpoletariat. The closest thing to what we would call "middle class" in this country would be the kleinbuerger (which would include most white collar workers and professionals) and the upper third of the working class (master and journeymen in trades, etc.).

Umm, if you read the mainstream media, the answer is "yes" in regards to your question about whether or not people know Hitler was a socialist. The amount of space devoted to the Bush/Hitler comparison should make the answer obvious.
