HITLER AS "PAPER HANGER" (AD HOMINEM ATTACK) In a talk to 500 Priest s of his Chicago Diocese in May of 1937 , Cardinal George Mundelein made these observations on the tragic transformation of German public opinion: There is disagreement as to whether man who grew up in Transylvania , claims to have known Hitler at the time he was learning the trade. Marching Toward War: Humanizing Dictators The paperhanger term was none the less pejorative, suggesting a laborer performing a task which required more hand-eye coordination than intellect, and one who offered ersatz art rather than original art. This was an Ad Hominem attack on Hitler's ideas, for he was a published author Mein Kampf and a watercolorist, having produced 500-1000 paintings Hitler's artworks . Accordingly, the term became popular among those who opposed Hitler's ideas rather than among those who endorsed them. SEE ALSO |
