Add hate to any mixture of ideas, good or bad, and something horrible is
bound to come out.  The fact that Hitler, a disturbed sick man who blamed
his problems on an ethnic group, used ideas from other sources (like
Darwin or Nietzsche) does not discredit those sources.  A sick mind tends
to warp even facts to its own ends.  "To make a superior race, we can get
rid of lowlife like Jews, gypsies, and homosexuals.  Uh, what's that,
where did I get the idea that these groups were inferior 'lowlife'? Uh..."

See above.  It seems that way to you in your aposteriori justification.
