hitler...the meanie!!!

When we were reading from Hitler's book, we came across many fallacies. One of the many fallacies was when Hitler said that we can't see what is right in front of us, but he can. This is an ad hominem fallacy. An ad hominem is when there is an argument against the man/woman. Here, Hitler is making an argument against us being ignorant and basically saying that he is not ignorant and he can see everything. That is absolutely NOT true! Hitler totally didn't see that the people he was killing were innocent. He didn't care about who they were, he only cared about their religion, sexuality, and whether or not they were "crippled" or not. He totally missed what was right in front of him and HE is the ignorant one here, not us. Who is he to say who is ignorant or not?!
