Dude, your an idiot, check the political compass, Hitler was authoritarian socially but centrist economically, economically he was Keynesian. Please keep your uninformed gibberish to yourself.

I'll admit, it's relatively mild, but a flame is a flame.

I dunno... the irony of his typo is pretty amusing.

How's that a flame, I was pointing out the factual inaccuracy of his claim.

"...your[sic] an idiot" is "pointing out the factual inaccuracy of his claim"? Curious...

It is a flame in that you insult him. Regardless of the reason, it's still insulting.

That said, it's so minor I don't think the mods will act. Usually they leave off until people are turning on the douche machine and leveling harsh insults ever other sentence of their posts or so.

In any case, if you wish to correct people in the future, do so in a friendly way. Say something like "I believe/think/know you are wrong, and here is why" rather than "You're an idiot so shut up and here's why."
