Hitler and Darwin

Usually when I post something, I post what the general thrust of Freeper's attitude is.

But this post will be a bit different. I'll be picking only the crazy side of the argument. To be fair, only some Freepers believe the craziness below. But it is enough to be worrying.

If I am not mistaken, the guy who came up with the term, Eugenics, was Darwin’s cousin.

The American Eugenics movement sprang from the concept, and went on to catalogue, incarcerate, and sterilize those on their hit lists.

They nurtured a doctor who wrote for The Birth Control Review, journal of Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger.

The movement went international.

This doctor crossed the ocean and went to work for an obscure man with dark hair and a mustache.

His name was Adolf Hitler.

Abortion, Hitler and evolution! All together through the magic of Guilt By Association.

But let us not forget GBA's bastard cousin, conspiracy theories:
No one said Darwin was a Nazi. They’re saying Hitler put into action social theory that evolved from Darwin’s studies. Those social theories were pioneered by Darwin’s cousin, with Darwin’s oversight — from a distances, so as not to impugn his scientific objectivity.
Yes, evolution implies you must kill people.
Riiight...because no one has ever been killed by people perverting the word of Christianity...

Yes, by PERVERTING it. There is no need to pervert the ToE in order to use it to justify killing people.
See, evolution doesn't work fast enough that killing people works. Plus there is the morality of the issue, which science does not discuss at all.
"when kids believe they came from animals, expect them to act like animals"

And they do.
Alright, no more debating this. It's driving me mad.
