Hypothetically, if a president rounded up all the Jews, mentally retarded, gypsies, political dissidents, etc. and sent them all to concentration camps to meet their deaths would you support him?

Of course, this is totally extreme, but it's not unforseeable for a president to do something in wartime that is absolutely reprehensible (can anyone say Patriot Act?).
