* As the George Carlin example above illustrates, white stand-up comedians who want to do insult humor are usually forced into this by a combination of [[N-Word Privileges]] and [[Acceptable Targets]]. |

* Industrialist and automotive pioneer Henry Ford could qualify as this, as while he espoused antisemitic and conspiracist views, he was, at least by some accounts, an inducted Freemason. If the likes of [[Alex Jones]] are virulently campaigning against Freemasonry, Jewish conspiracies and the NWO, the idea of an inducted Freemason believing in and espousing the same beliefs as Jones and co. would certainly confuse some people. |

* Ernst Röhm, co-founder of the Nazi SA (Hitler's private guard in the early years), was gay. As fascist movements are generally homophobic, he, along with other early members of the party, were killed in an intra-party purge called the "Night of the Long Knives", which consolidated Hitler's power by eliminating most of the people who could challenge his power (or were now an embarrassment). There are [[wikipedia:The Pink Swastika|conspiracy theories]] that the Nazis were somehow a gay organization, but they don't really hold water. |

** Although prior to The Night of Long Knives, Hitler and the Nazi Party had not adopted an aggressive stance towards homosexuality, and for some early anti-Nazis, e.g. among Catholics and the military, the Nazis' pre-1935 "acceptance" of homosexuals and in particular Röhm's prominent and high position in the party hierarchy were important or at least contributory reasons why they opposed Nazism. And for many in the military who started out distrusting Hitler, the Night of the Long Knives proved that he was okay after all. This included Stauffenberg, who eventually changed his mind again and in 1944 would attempt to blow Hitler up. |

* It could be said Hitler himself was also a Boomerang Bigot, because he did not fit his own definition of the "Aryan race" he deemed superior to all other men—and to this day recent DNA results say that he had some "Non-Aryan" ancestry (though others insist it's opposition propaganda). It has also been seriously suggested that he may have been in a relationship with Albert Speer, his chief architect. |
