I can understand Moore's bitterness, but this is not an excuse for his Little England bigotry, which ATEOTD is merely a mirror image of some of the worst nationalistic ravings of the Nazis themselves. Moore's comments are also an insult to hundreds of thousands of Germans who opposed Hitler and paid for that with their lives.
