Springtime for Hitler — Stalin and Mao Too
Posted by Dave Blount at January 11, 2010 8:35 AM
It was only a matter of time before liberals became arrogant enough to stop pretending Hitler was a conservative and proudly claim him as one of their fellow progressive collectivists. The first step is rehabilitation, and who better for the job than unhinged Castro hagiographer Oliver Stone?
Stalin and Mao, communist dictators who killed even more people than Hitler did, are also in for a whitewash. This is less surprising, considering that liberals have never really denied that their ideology is communism set to muzak.
Director Oliver Stone's upcoming Showtime documentary miniseries "Secret History of America" promises to put mass murderers such as Stalin and Hitler "in context."
"Stalin, Hitler, Mao, McCarthy — these people have been vilified pretty thoroughly by history," Stone told reporters at the Television Critics Association's semi-annual press tour in Pasadena.
Where there is a moonbat with its mouth open, there is moral relativism. Note how Stoned displays the liberal version of "fair and balanced" by lumping an anticommunist in with three socialist butchers who between them killed around 200,000,000 people.
According to liberals, there is no good and bad, only shades of nuance — unless you're talking about someone they don't like (e.g., W, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck). Stone explains:
Stalin has a complete other story. Not to paint him as a hero, but to tell a more factual representation. He fought the German war machine more than any single person. We can't judge people as only "bad" or "good." Hitler is an easy scapegoat throughout history and its been used cheaply. … I've been able to walk in Stalin's shoes and Hitler's shoes to understand their point of view.
But Hitler did have his dark side, to the extent he was secretly in league with corporate America.
We want to move beyond opinions … Go into the funding of the Nazi party. How many American corporations were involved, from GM through IBM.
Stoned's 10-part propagandathon will also have villains: Harry Truman, for example, who was nasty enough to nuke the gentle Japanese Empire. Also, the sinister American military-industrial complex will be castigated once again.
Now for the scary part:
Stone eventually hopes to send "Secret History" to schools as a teaching curriculum.
Already Stoned's deranged, anti-American ravings aren't far from what kids are force-fed in school. As George Orwell noted, those who control the present, control the past — and those who control the past control the future.
