"Hitler wasn't even really a vegetarian."
Exaggeration or attack
They claim more than the evidence supports, or attack people instead of discussing what they do.
Why it is weak
Hitler's diet is debated by historians, and answering on historical grounds unintentionally accepts that it would matter to the discussion.
If proof appeared that he was vegetarian, the answer would collapse with it.
How to say it better
Even if he was vegetarian, that would say nothing about veganism, just as his not smoking doesn't make cigarettes good. What matters are the arguments about the animals.
