Yes, Oling, I know what the Third Reich is. I went to high school. I don't care if he used a hyperbole elsewhere in his post. He didn't say what you accused him of saying. You are arguing against a position he did not take, while attributing it to him. That is what a straw man is. One would think this would be obvious, but apparently recognizing the obvious is expecting too much of some people.
