Racist

The Resume

    (May 15, 1896-December 14, 1951)
    Was the controversial leader of the German-American Bund
    Nicknamed (by himself) ‘The American Fuhrer’

Why he might be annoying:

    He moved for Germany to the US to stir up anti-Semitism and racism.
    He admired Hitler so much, yet he left Germany?
    His public speeches were filled with toxic hatred.
    The Bund excluded all who were not white Christians of German or Northern European descent.
    He always had pictures of George Washington onstage to work up the audience.
    He played up his friendship with Adolf Hitler.
    The Nazi-friendly German Ambassador to the US called him ‘stupid, absurd and noisy.’
    He embezzled $14K from the Bund to party and set up his mistress.
    Many Bund supporters still loved him even though he ripped them off.
    He allowed his group to attack a group of Jewish-American war veterans who were protesting his appearance at Madison Square Garden in 1939.
    He hosted picnics and summer camps for young people so he could corrupt their minds too.
    Up until the day he dies, he was unrepentant for his beliefs.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was held in an internment camp in Texas for the duration of the war.
    After the war he was deported back to Germany.
    The American press constantly wrote negative articles on the Bund.
    He did not succeed in increasing Bund membership as much as he desired.
    Even Hitler and the Third Reich considered Kuhn to be a joke.
    He’s dead.
