The only reason that Leftists think that the Holocaust was "Uniquely Evil" is this: they do not realize that the Soviets and the Red Chinese had similar concentration camps, and were atleast as fiendish and savage about how they had captured, tortured, and killed their victims. Leftists probably assumed that Soviet Russia and Red China really were places where everyone was equal and shared everything.

Comment by Twin Ruler

********* Winston Churchill, who hated Nazi Germany with an obsession no one else could equal, wrote several volumes bragging about his part in turning a third of hte human race over to the Communists in World War II. But in all those volumes he, who had more intelligence information about Nazi Germany than any other person on earth, never said one word about any Jewish Holocaust.

******* If he COULD have, he would have.

****** I am still trying to find a Red Cross report from 1948 which I remember concluded that no such holocaust took place. It's hard to find.

******** I read a lot of the Nuremberg testimony, and it accused the Nazi leaders of "executing two million civilians, including Slavs, Jews, gypsies and others."

********** The "death camps" in Germany everybody later agreed on were later admitted not to be death camps. Not one "death camp" was supposed to have been placed this side of the Iron Curtain. You had to take the Communists' word for them, as you do today if you want to avoid prison over there.

****** My position on the holocaust is pure American: Anything the government REQUIRES you to believe is a lie.

******** But the holocaust is all they've GOT. Since The Gulag Archipelago even French intellectuals do not deny the tens of millions of Soviets who were murdered by Communists, before and after Stalin.

****** Nobody can any right-wing dictator of anything LIKE the routine Communist slaughters. Pol Pot killed third of his entire population LATELY. In the fact of this, the holocaust is absolutely indispensable. Without the holocaust, the only proven cold-blooded murdewrs of tens of millions of people occurred in the Peace-Loving, People's Democratic Republics.

****** The only rulers who ever committed horrors onthat scale did so inthe name of Peace and Progress.

****** In fact, even accepting the holocaust, only the Peace Loving People's Democratic Republics ever routinely built walls and shot down anybody trying to escape.

******** In PEACETIME.

******* Since liberals and respectable conservatives could not even accuse Hitler of doing THAT, they simply ignored the Berlin Wall and all the other walls around ALL Communist states. They were still shooting people down in cold blood in 1985, but the media never had one single picture of it.

******* One last point. No one can accuse even HITLER of slaughtering millions of people in PEACETIME. At the same time WE were interning the Japanese, Germany was being firebombed. What would have done tot he Japanese if our cities had been used to create fire storms?

****** Don't hold your breath waiting for an answer from anybody but me.

They say it's "Uniquely evil" or a "singularity" because there has never been such a large scale, industrialized attempt at genocide in history.

But if all people are completely equal, and there are no races, the term genocide, which refers to "the systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group", should be meainingless.

But as we are becoming inceasingly aware with the action in the Middle East, "One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail." (Rabbi Yaacov Perrin, Feb. 27, 1994)

That makes Hitler sound moderate. I guess a different set of rules apply for Jews.

I just searched for stuff on 'The Uniquely Evil Singularity' and came up with an article on Historikerstreit [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historikerstreit ] which was an intellectual and political controversy in West Germany about the way the Holocaust should be treated in history. They point out some of your arguments in the Issues section. I guess that makes Bob an apologist for fascism, as Ernst Nolte.

Or take it directly from one of God's Chosen Sons:

"The Holocaust is something different. It is a singular event. It is not simply one example of genocide but a near successful attempt on the life of God's chosen children and, thus, on God Himself. It is an event that is the antithesis of Creation as recorded in the Bible; and like its direct opposite, which is relived weekly with the Sabbath and yearly with the Torah, it must be remembered from generation to generation." Abraham H. Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (New York), writing in ADL On the Frontline (January 1994, page 2)

Even Bill O'Reilly thinks this guy is a nut.

You probably have a point. Who knows what would have happened to the interned Japanese, if the US was firebombed by Imperial Japan? Besides, the Holocaust happened during Wartime.

#4 Twin Ruler | 2006-08-01 18:31

The US Media is very selective about what attrocities it brings up all the time. They usually bring up (1.), the Holocaust (2.), Slavery, and (3.), The Troubles, even though the Communist Worlds Holocausts cost even more people. And, you make a good point, Mr. Whitaker, the Holocaust took place during Wartime-- not in peacetime.

The holocaust is about Jewish victimhood.

Leftism assigns Perfect Moral Purity

to victimhood.

The Left is increasingly consigning the

holocaust to the old "Just One of Many"

folders in it's endless litany of "victims"

on this planet.

So the Jews are waging a P.R. campaign

to make sure that the holocaust maintains

it's top spot in the liberal moral universe.

Jews have historically worked covertly.

Now they are shreiking "holocaust" every

chance they get.

In Europe, any scepticism brings a prison sentence.

They have been forced out of the closet.

It's a beautiful thing!

I doubt that the Muslims would have had the intelligence, and ability to think, to carry out the attacks of September 11th. They are just too stupid and barbaric to have done so.

#7 Epiphany | 2010-02-20 17:08

It is true: there is not much mention of certain Communist regimes, and their crimes, in the US media.

#8 Epiphany | 2010-06-04 20:27

Well, eventually and inevitably, people will

stop watching movies and television shows, anyhow!

#9 Epiphany | 2010-08-19 06:58

The whole thing seems

rather odd to me.

I often wonder if

some people wish us

to forget about the

Soviet Union, for

some reason!
