No, but I've heard a lot of history buffs say that, come from that angle that Hitler was really architect of the Third Reich single handedly, and therefore must have been some kind of genius. I for one think he was more of a front man for a much larger movement, sort of an angry pundit type that they used to give a face to their more secretive core, that's more consistent with my world view. But I'm not a historian.

As far as my argument of why the neocons are the worst conservatives ever, and why any movement from conservatives away from them is an improvement, see then paragraph 3 of post #9.
