Oliver Stone, a darling of the Left states that Hitler was taken out of context.

I thought that all of the Holocaust deniers were supposed to be right wing whack jobs.

I'll have to watch the left wing PBS/Nightly News broadcasts to see how much coverage they give this.

Oliver Stone: 'Jewish-Dominated Media' Prevents Hitler from Being Portrayed 'in Context'
By Alana Goodman (Bio | Archive)

Director Oliver Stone belittled the Holocaust during a shocking interview with the Sunday Times today, claiming that America's focus on the Jewish massacre was a product of the "Jewish domination of the media."

The director also defended Hitler and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and railed against the "powerful lobby" of Jews in America.

Stone said that his upcoming Showtime documentary series "Secret History of America," seeks to put Hitler and Communist dictator Joseph Stalin "in context."

"Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support," Stone told reporter Camilla Long during the interview, which can be found behind the paywall on the Sunday Times' website.

Stone said that, "Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30 [million killed]."

The Sunday Times interviewer then asked why there was such a focus on the Holocaust.

"The Jewish domination of the media," responded Stone. "There's a major lobby in the United States. They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f***** up United States foreign policy for years."

The director, who recently met with Iranian President Ahmadinejad, also slammed the U.S. policy toward Iran as "horrible."

"Iran isn't necessarily the good guy," said Stone. "ut we don't know the full story!"

The Scarface screenwriter had even more encouraging words for socialist Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, who Stone called "a brave, blunt, earthy" man. The director has recently been promoting his Chavez-praising documentary called "South of the Border."

When the interviewer pointed out that Chavez has had a less-than-stellar record on human rights, Stone immediately dismissed the criticism.

"The internet's fully free [in Venezuela]," said Stone. "You can say what the hell you like. Compare it with all the other countries: Mexico, Guatemala, above all Colombia, which is a joke."

While Stone has not been as blunt about his views on Jews and the Holocaust in the past, he has been outspoken in his fondness for Chavez and his disagreements with the U.S.'s policy on Iran.

On ABC's Good Morning America on July 28, the director told anchor George Stephanopoulos that he "absolutely" believes Chavez is a good person, and claimed that there was "there's no pattern of censorship in this country [Venezuela]."

Stone also said that if the U.S. pursued sanctions against Iran, "it's going to be like North Vietnam again."

i don't see this so much about what side you're on so much as the fact that oliver stone is a fuckwit. and we've known that for a very long time.

though this part "German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support" isn't exactly inaccurate.

Jim you can't trust Newsbusters stories. They are ridiculous.

It's funny that Newsbusters takes him completely out of context to spin their story.

He was saying something about America's focus on the Jewish massacre while largely ignoring that more than twice as many Russians were killed by Hitler.

He also mentions "Go into the funding of the Nazi party. How many American corporations were involved, from GM through IBM".

So this is what he means by Hitler "in context".

Now I think most people know not to trust a Newsbusters article and that whenever someone posts a story from their ridiculous site all you have to do is search for a minute to find the real story...but just think of all the poor people that take their site at face value.

Look, even a Jewish media outlet has a far more reasonable story on this...

That one is much better but the author still inserted too much of their own opinion. At least it doesn't take him out of context to distort things the way Newsbusters does.

Weird that the Haaretz article is the most unbiased.

I figured Gonz was talking about the United States. I often wonder why Spike would want to live here.

Must be getting some free benefit and hoping for more.

You hate this country and every effort you make is to change it. Also, you seem paranoid. Did you get trash-canned a lot in school?
