Plenty of German Nazis were neither crazy nor malicious, simply naive and unprincipled with no concept of what the Hell they were talking about. That's not to say that being an “antebellum libertarian” (http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/antebellum-libertarianism.html) like Ron Paul is as evil as being a Nazi. I think it's evil, but I don't think it's that evil. But my point is that one can be an adherent to an unmistakably evil philosophy on a “naive and unprincipled” basis.
