Will Smith ‘Sorry’ For Hitler Comment
Will Smith got into a little bit of trouble when Scotland’s The Daily Record quoted him as saying
Hitler, "didn’t wake up going, ‘Let me do the most evil thing I can do today.’ I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was ‘good.’"
The quick apology came after getting a stern reaction from the We Hate Hitler Foundation (Anti-Defamation League).
"It is an awful and disgusting lie. It speaks to the dangerous power of an ignorant person with a pen. I am incensed and infuriated to have to respond to such ludicrous misinterpretation. Adolph Hitler was a vile, heinous, vicious killer responsible for one of the greatest acts of evil committed on this planet."
In what context could Smith have said this? Don’t worry Will we all still love ya. But seriously, why do people got to be so testy? Oh and if you havn’t seen his new movie I am Legend, go see it!

he should have to apologize for that remark. Sure the people that got all pissed off are right in saying he was a vicious killer, but at the same time what Will smith said makes perfect sense. Every sick minded person like Hitler thinks just like that. In some “backwards logic” as Will said they “think they are doing something good”, no matter how bad it is to the other side. People just need something to bitch about sometimes.

Oh lawd… He was clearly NOT saying that he thought Hitler was doing good. He was saying that Hitler was twisted, and in HIS MIND (Hitler’s), what he was doing was a good thing.
I can’t stand when “leagues” and “associations” get uppity over things without really hearing what’s said or seeing what’s done.
Will of all people doesn’t come across at all like the kind of person who would agree with Hitler or his actions… I mean, come ON.

I must have had a moment of illiteracy there. I meant Should not have to apologize, no should. I think that is quite obvious considering the rest of my comment contradicts the first sentence.

Will had no reason to be sorry!! It was his opinion. Right or wrong, no apology was necessary!
But some people are complete idiots and attack anyone who mentions Hitler doing any bit of good.(which he did, but some people are too ignorant and narrow minded to see past the holocaust.)
btw, Will was right. Hitler didn’t do it just to be a total dickhead. He did what he thought was right, just as Will stated.
