Karen is defending Henry Ford? Well, read this entry from the Henry Ford Wikipedia entry [worth a read in its entirety]. In Germany, Fords anti-Semitic articles from The Dearborn Independent were issued in four volumes, cumulatively titled The International Jew, the Worlds Foremost Problem published by Theodor Fritsch, founder of several anti-Semitic parties and a member of the Reichstag. In a letter written in 1924, Heinrich Himmler described Ford as one of our most valuable, important, and witty fighters. Ford is the only American mentioned in Mein Kampf. Adolf Hitler wrote, only a single great man, Ford, [who], to [the Jews] fury, still maintains full independence...[from] the controlling masters of the producers in a nation of one hundred and twenty millions. Speaking in 1931 to a Detroit News reporter, Hitler said he regarded Ford as his inspiration, explaining his reason for keeping Fords life-size portrait next to his desk. Steven Watts wrote that Hitler revered Ford, proclaiming that I shall do my best to put his theories into practice in Germany, and modeling the Volkswagen, the peoples car, on the Model T.
