Unless I am much mistaken the post by GUEST Ernst Zundel was intended as heavy irony. Heavy-handed maybe as well, but from an anti-nazi position. Wouldn't be the first time that's happened here. Irony is a risky weapon to wield.

And of course I could be wrong, from the other side of an ocean divide that's not just water. If I was just going by the Limbaugh quotes I'd think he was a leftie taking the piss out of the people who believe that stuff.

And moonthief, of course I'm not saying we shouldn't use our judgement about who we should trust, and what is likely to be the result of our decisions. We should and we must, and too much of the time we don't. What I'm saying is that we mustn't get into the way of thinking we are ok, we are morally better than other people who do things we haven't yet done. It's people thinking and talking in those terms who have done the worst things in history. "I thank you Lord that I am not like that publican..."

All the monsters aren't out there in the dark - if we think they are we are letting them in the back door. That's not just true in horror movies.

As for the Nazis, it wasn't so much that they were more evil than people in all the other nations who have being involved in ethnic cleansing - but they carried it through with an obsessive mechanical efficiency which made the effect far far worse.
