ORIGINAL: Lucylastic Are you denying he did ....at all? or just obfuscating......what do you want , video? or a direct line to hell? do you have anything that negates the op in any way? If, by OP, you mean the original post by you, I m not dealing with that in my post to Mr. Rodgers...I'm dealing with Mr. Rodgers flat out statement of what inspired Hitler. "What inspired Hitler as much as anything the US did, was how the govt, dealt with the American Indian. A concerted Republican policy BTW." Now then, given how much everybody on these forums likes facts...especially when a particularly odious claim is made...yes, I do want a source. Otherwise, Mr. Rogers opinion is just that...an opinion, based on HIS belief and NOT based on any citable facts. Im going to ask you to clarify what particular part?the republican part? The american indian part? because i gave a link to the american indian part in the op other than that......mr rodgers is more than capable of responding I am denying that Hitler was inspired by the chapter of American History that Mr. Rodgers spoke of. If he...or anyone else...can bring forth information that backs his statement that Hitler was indeed inspired by that particular chapter of American History, bring it forward. Otherwise...it is Mr. Rogers opinion that Hitler was inspired by it. maybe he was discussing this part of the op http://www.jewishjournal.com/sacredintentions/item/hitlers_inspiration_and_guide_the_native_american_holocaust The film talked about The Long Walk of the Navajo, which was the 1864 deportation and attempted ethnic cleansing of the Navajo people by the U.S. government. 8,000 Navajos were forced to walk more than 300 miles at gunpoint from their ancestral homelands in northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico to an internment camp in Bosque Redondo, which was a desolate tract on the Pecos River in eastern New Mexico. Many died along the way. From 1863 to 1868, the U.S. Military persecuted and imprisoned 9,500 Navajo (the Diné) and 500 Mescalero Apache (the N’de). Living under armed guards, in holes in the ground, with extremely scarce rations, it is no wonder that more than 3,500 Navajo and Mescalero Apache men, women, and children died while in the concentration camp. During the film I learned about something that shook me to my core that I had not heard before. I learned that the genocidal mentality and actions of the U.S. policy makers would find similar expression years later when the Nazis, under Hitler, studied the plans of Bosque Redondo to design the concentration camps for Jews. As Pulitzer Prize-winning author, John Toland, notes in his book Adolf Hitler (pg. 202): Hitler's concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and United States history. He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the Indians in the wild west; and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America's extermination—by starvation and uneven combat—of the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity. He was very interested in the way the Indian population had rapidly declined due to epidemics and starvation when the United States government forced them to live on the reservations. He thought the American government's forced migrations of the Indians over great distances to barren reservation land was a deliberate policy of extermination. Just how much Hitler took from the American example of the destruction of the Indian nations is hard to say; however, frightening parallels can be drawn. For some time Hitler considered deporting the Jews to a large 'reservation' in the Lubin area where their numbers would be reduced through starvation and disease.
