1. The statements by Duncan Hunter and Gen. Petraeus are excellent. Tom Lantos, a Holocaust survivor, show the same kind of wimpiness that helped make the Holocaust possible.

   Today (Monday) on my blog I wrote a long — and hard-hitting — statement about the need for Republicans and Christians to welcome gays and lesbians and to support their efforts to gain equal treatment under the law. I apologize for the behavior of a segment of the evangelical community. I also mention your blog, along with many others. Comments are always welcome.

2. ‘…show the same kind of wimpiness that helped make the Holocaust possible.’

   And I guess the reason for American gay bashing is that the limp wristed homos were just wimps, and if they would just act like real men, they wouldn’t be homos.

   Or maybe, considering just how thoroughly ruined those who actually carried out the Holocaust ended up (I am sure we can both agree that the Nazis were never considered wimps, even if some were as deeply closeted as Craig in their twisted self-image), he has a bit more perspective than what seems to be fairly thinly disguised vileness on your part.

   And as for any apology on someone else’s behalf – I can imagine that beam in your eye must be getting pretty hard to ignore, by now.

5. Sure – living in Germany, even suggesting ‘wimpiness … helped make the Holocaust possible’ when referring to a survivor of that same mass murder would mark you clearly, and all of your fellow decent citizens, from the most conservative Christian Democrat/Socialist to the most fundamentalist Green to the most devoted Marxist would feel entitled to shun you.

   Oh wait, that was like something from today’s German frontpage news – a female TV announcer commented favorably on Nazi family policies, and was fired.

   Blaming the Holocaust on the ‘wimpiness’ of its victims is considered vile by most Germans – after all, it was their parents and grandparents that actually did the killing, not the victims.

   Might even explain one reason for German pacifism. Or German awareness of what occupying a foreign country while attempting to extract its oil means (Germans in Yugoslavia – there are a few concrete reasons why Germans are not that welcome in European peacekeeping situations, though that is changing slowly).

   The Holocaust was not caused by Germans lacking weapons (the Freikorps certainly had enough, and see how that turned out) either, just to tie several asinine arguments together.

   But oddly enough, they write off the rantings of an Islamic leader who claims he wants to “wipe Israel from the map” and the rantings of imams both inside and outside Germany who teach the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as fact and who support the airing of programs sponsored and paid for by governments like Syria’s depicting Jews as kidnapping and slaughtering children to get blood to make their Passover matzohs as “diversity”.

8. Always remember: The Jews who founded Israel, did so precisely because they felt their own people had been wimpy in the face of German evil. They wanted to establish a “fighting” Jewish state. They believed, as do I, that if an uncompromising, “fighting” Jewish state had existed, the Holocaust would not have been possible.

   Note I used the phrase, “German evil”. In other words: I place the blame where it lies. But if someone characterizes the 1930s Jewish response to German evil as “wimpy”, they have not done anything wrong; the founders of Israel would agree with them.

9. And Bruce, sorry for the off-topic. Sorry I fell for the bait.

10. Here’s on-topic questions:

    Who the HELL does Lantos think he is? Where’s his service record?

11. “Who the HELL does Lantos think he is? Where’s his service record?”

    He’s a Holocaust survivor — that gives him “absolute moral authority.”

    But only because he’s also a Democrat.
