#4  I'd think that talking about Hitler as a genius showman & orator would be pretty non-controversial. He was, after all. And Jackson's post-Dangerous infatuation with Futurist-style regimentation and showmanship was pretty out-front, i think.

The idea that Jackson could have fixed Hitler-class evil, on the other hand, says a lot about Jackson's self-regard and lack of proportion. Let alone saying such things to a rabbi of all people...

#3  "To make that many people turn and change and hate, he had to be a showman and he was."

And we're not seeing similar behavior now? You take a people who've lost a great war, be it the First World War or the Cold War, and channel that psychic scar into a movement to reclaim 'glory days', it's pretty heady stuff. And like any heavy drug, a big surge with ruin at the end.
