If you read the wacky fundy sites out there on the internet, you get the idea that spunky little Ben Stein in his short-pants is giving a David-style bump-on-the-head to the Goliath "Darwinism".  The movie "Expelled" which says Darwin is responsible for Hitler, and claimes that Creationists are being discriminated against in academia is supposedly so damning that it has the "Darwinists" on the run!

But if you look at the rest of the story, you see that the analogy is more along the lines of the Creationists are trying to empty the river with a sieve.

Tying Darwin to Nazism was a HUGE mistake on the part of the wacky fundies.  Hitler praised Martin Luther as a "great statesman" in Mein Kampf.  He published Luther's work as propaganda.  He reviled the idea of evolution, and dismissed the ideas of population management and social responsibility as the ideas of a "dear little ape God" who thinks he's clever for thwarting God's plan (sounds like he didn't think much of evolution).

Read this work of Martin Luther's and tell me again how anti-Semitism is the result of scientific or atheistic thought.  Pay particular attention to Part 11 where Luther lays out the political necessity of dealing with the Jews to defend German and Christian heritage in Germany, and the means he recommends for doing it effectivly.  Warning: this is one of the works that caused me to cease to be a Lutheran.

I challenge any wacky fundy to bring me one quote from Hitler praising Darwin.  Bring one work of Darwin that even comes within a planet's breadth of the venom and hatred contained in the above link.  

And bring me the buckle of a Nazi uniform that does NOT have "Gott Mit Uns" printed on it, but instead says anything about evolution.

I will apologize profusely for this post.  Until then, expect no respect from me when you talk about a "link" between "Darwinism" and "Atheism" and Hitler.
