Lunatic Fringes Meet

I mentioned a few days ago a report from Zombietime.com about how neo-Nazi literature is being distributed in the Bay Area--and apparently because it says pretty much the same thing that leftist antiwar literature does, the local news media are being careful not to let their viewers know how much neo-Nazis and the billionaires' wing of the Democratic Party have in common.

One of my readers pointed me to the Institute for Historical Review website, which has a link to an article by Glenn Greenwald (one of the antiwar leftists). In case you are wondering, "Where have I heard of the Institute for Historical Review before?" They lost a lawsuit some years ago when they offered $50,000 to anyone that could prove the Holocaust happened--and then refused to pay one of the survivors who came forward, and proved it in court. Their own attempts to distance themselves from Holocaust denial are almost funny:

Detractors of the IHR have often mischaracterized it as a “Holocaust denial” organization. This smear is completely at variance with the facts. The Institute does not “deny the Holocaust.” Every responsible scholar of twentieth century history acknowledges the great catastrophe that befell European Jewry during World War II.

All the same, the IHR has over the years published detailed books and numerous probing essays that call into question aspects of the orthodox Holocaust extermination story, and highlight specific Holocaust exaggerations and falsehoods. IHR publications have devoted considerable attention to this issue because it plays an enormously significant role in the cultural and political life of America and much of the world. As a number of Jewish scholars have acknowledged, the “Holocaust” campaign is a major weapon in the Jewish-Zionist arsenal. It is used to justify otherwise unjustifiable Israeli policies, and to extort enormous sums of money, especially from European countries and companies.

Now, Greenwald isn't responsible for the IHR's linking to his article--but if you read the list of news items on the IHR's main page, there's no question where they stand about the Iraq War--on the same side with the antiwar leftists.
