>Hitler was totally a right winger. There was nothing liberal about him.<

This is really a definitional issue. It was the National "SOCIALIST" party.

Most people that consider themselves right wingers in America would object to including a socialist or someone that wanted to direct most corporate/economic activity from the central government as a right winger (even if he allowed people to continue owning the means of production) - even if he was right wing on almost everything else.

You can call him anything you want, but he wanted to expand the power of government in many ways and that's not an entirely right wing desire. It depends on what types of expansion you are talking about.
