Imagine my surprise when in the spring of
1939 a letter arrived at my house inviting
me to dinner at the Old Chancellery with
the worlds most reviled man, Adolf Hitler.
I had been a vocal critic of his on the
radio from the beginning, pretty much
predicting everything he was going to do
on the road to dictatorship. No one I knew
encouraged me to go. Hes Hitler. Hes a
monster. But eventually I concluded that
hate gets us nowhere. I knew I couldnt
change his views, but we need to talk to
the other side even if it has invaded and
annexed other countries and committed
unspeakable crimes against humanity.

Bill Maher responded along much the same lines to his White House
dinner with the President.
