Tweet Is Obama telling a true story or not? I don’t know and with Obama’s credibility gap, it’s impossible to tell. It doesn’t matter, though. What does matter is that, by relaying this anecdote, Obama is keeping alive the Obama/Hitler analogy: President Obama at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation dinner last night, discussing false claims [...]

Tweet In a comment to my earlier post about talk with an ideological foe being dangerous, Gringo mentioned a classic anti-Nazi piece of Hollywood propaganda (made when Hollywood viewed America as the ally, not the enemy).

Tweet Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. I'm a little late, but it's really never too late to remember not to forget. In a weirdly hopeful sign, there might be a small corner in Egypt — of all places — that isn't forgetting: A new book which does not deny the Holocaust and the number of [...]

An 85-year-old Lithuanian was convicted for cooperating with the Nazis and persecuting Jews but he will not serve jail time because of his age, according to a BBC report.A court in Vilna ruled that Dailide will not go to jail "because he is very old and does not [...]
