Tila Tequila Claims 'Hitler Was A Good Man,' Paul Walker's Murder Was 'Ritualistic'

Oh dear. Tila Tequila, the former reality TV star who now covers her Facebook fan page with her theories about the Illuminati and God, is now focused on a new favorite dude: Adolf Hitler.Over the past few days, Tila (whose real name is Tila Nguyen) has been posting on Facebook photos of herself with a Nazi swastika arm band, as well as attempting to debunk what she thinks is a common misconception that Hitler was a monster.
The former MTV star has had her share of troubles over the past few years. After her rise from fame in being a Myspace celebrity with the most followers on the social media network in 2006 to snagging her own reality TV show, A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila, she took a downturn. When she went on The Howard Stern Show in 2011, she talked about being bipolar and having multiple personalities and then entered rehab for substance abuse in 2012, according to Digital Trends.
These days, she takes to social media to talk about her conspiracy theories, also referring to herself as Queen Tilisis. Despite her recent posts about siding with Hilter, she claims her views aren't anti-Semitic. In the first part of a series on her blog, entitled, "Why I Sympathize With Hitler Part 1: True History Unveiled," on Dec. 7, she writes:
I understand the Jewish people went through some shit too, but hey guess what?? SO DID THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WHO SUFFERED IN EVERY SINGLE WAR THST TOOK PLACE! You were NOT the only ones! So please, if the rest of us can forgive and forget maybe it’s time you do also!!!
She also added that Hilter wasn't as bad as we thought him to be, that the media was hiding the truth, and Hitler had offered a peach peace treaty to President Franklin D. Roosevelt to end the war at the time, but it was rejected.
Folks haven't taken to well to her ranting, and she responded to the backlash on her Facebook page today:
People, people, please listen with an open heart and mind because so many of you are filled with HATRED that it has BLINDED you from the TRUTH THAT GOD HAS TRIED TO SHOW YOU OVER & OVER YET YOU REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT! Yet you still pray and ask for God's forgiveness when you are SO VILE and UNFORGIVING towards others? I never said I hated anyone, but just because I fee sympathy, compassion, and forgiveness for others such as Hitler means I am now a monster? All for trying to open your eyes to the truth that Hitler was NOT as bad as he was painted out to be? God's wrath shall come upon you all soon who do not learn how to forgive and forget and spread LOVE in this world. God is watching you and I am God's messenger. Mock me all you want. YOU WILL regret doing so! Remember when Jesus also told the people he was a messenger???? Hmmm... Anyway this picture is more proof that EVERY ETHNIC PERSON WAS INVOLVED IN WWII... NOT JUST GERMAN PEOPLE! SO WAKE UP AND STOP BEING IN DENIAL! Blacks, Asians, Jews, Middle Easterners and so on... ALL WERE NAZIS!!! But did you ever hear about this? NO! Because the Zionist Cabal doesn't want you to know the truth but I will speak the truth for GOD since NO ONE ELSE HAS THE BALLS TO! Go ahead.. keep stoning me. You will regret it. May God Have Mercy On you all! You complain about wanting to see change in this world yet YOU STILL ACT LIKE BARBARIANS!!!! I despise the humans. God tells me to take it easy on them... but I despise most of them to be perfectly honest.
