David Duke is one of the biggest idiots in the world. Did you guys read his quote yesterday? He said, "This conference has an incredible impact on Holocaust studies all over the world."

What a joke! The conference will not have any impact on Holocaust studies.

All these haters are actually very similar to each other in terms of what drives them. It doesn't matter if we're talking about a left-wing hater or a right-wing hater like DD. There is a psychological phenomenon that goes on with these people. The hate is actually a defense mechanism.

With haters from both sides, you have to remember that the hate has very little to do with the people they hate. Let's take DD for example. His hatred for Jews and Blacks has nothing to do with the behavior of those groups. DD is just a very unhappy person. He is pretty much a complete loser with too much time on his hands. I don't know that much about him personally, but in most of these cases the anger at the person or group is simply displaced anger. DD is obviously a very angry and unhappy person. Instead of looking at himself and figuring out why he is so angry and unhappy, he displaces his anger on Jews and Blacks. In his mind, all of his problmes are because of Jews and Blacks. He doesn't need to take responsibility for anything. His failure in business is because of the Jews.

It's not uncommon to see this type of displaced anger in our society. I see it from just as many people on the left as the right. When a person is basically obsessed with a person or group, and all the person does is bash that person or group, it is never about the person or group being bashed. It is about the person doing the bashing. You can actually tell quite a bit about the person even if you don't know any personal details about them. The main thing that is obvious is that the person is usually a very unhappy person and they usually have a lot of anger inside.

A happy, satisfied, and content person is not going to be obsessed with some person or group and be bashing the person or group every day. It's just not going to happen. A happy person has better things to do with their time.

... but you spend a lot of time bashing the left, Rupert... is there something you need to talk about? Sit here on the couch with me, tell me what's going on...

I'm sooooo teasing you, Rupert. I absolutely agree with you about some very poorly adjusted people displacing their anger onto other people. Mildred D Taylor put it well in "Roll of Thunder, Here My Cry" when one of her characters said something to the effect that people who have nothing still want to feel like they're better than someone else.

And Timm, from your mouth to God's ear about DD's 15 minutes being over, please! Yeesh.

I know you were kidding, but in all seriousness I don't constantly bash anyone. As much as I despise Bin Laden, you don't see me obsessed with him and bashing him every day.

And with regard to politicians in this country, I think is totally ridiculous to bash one party. I think that most of the Democrtas in office are very similar to most of the Republicans in office. I don't think it makes a big difference whether Joe Biden is the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee as compared to Orrin Hatch or whoever. They're both smart guys and their views are a lot more similar than different.

As I said in another post, the new House Intelligence Chairman Silvestre Reyes(D) wants to send 30,000 more troops to Iraq. It doesn't make a difference whether this guy is a Democrat or Republican. There is very little difference between the two parties. Most of these guys from both sides of the aisles are fairly capable individuals who are just trying to make a good decision. I have no idea if it would be a good idea to send 30,000 more troops or not. But if we do it and it doesn't work out, I wouldn't bash this guy. He's just trying to do what is best. Whether the decision turns out to be right or wrong, I wouldn't blame Reyes because I know he is a bright guy that is using his best judgement. That's all I can ask for.

I would say the same for the Bush Administration. Bush had what appeared to be one of the sharpest foreign policy teams ever assembled. They thought that going into Iraq was the right thing to do. They were a very bright team that used their best judgement. In hindsight, it looks like they made a bad decision. I'm not going to bash them for it though. If we had done nothing and then Saddam ended up with nuclear weapons in 10 years from now and he used them, we'd be asking why we didn't take him out when we could have back in 2001.

Rupert, I have to respectfully disagree. I think Bush's foreign policy team was driven by idealogy, not any sort of grasp of how things work in the real world. They were bound and determined on this course from the moment they got into office, and in their attempt to force Western-style democracy upon the Middle East they completely destroyed the infrastructure of one of the few semi-secular nations there (yes, yes, tyrant I know-- have you checked into human rights and Saudi Arabia lately? The human rights argument wears thin in light of with whom we choose to ally ourselves) and provided fertile breeding ground for terrorists motivated by religious zealotry, which, as we know, is a bad, bad thing. (Two churches burned down here in the USA recently by Christian zealots, by the way. Churches. Zealotry always bad.) And what about the post-invasion plan, or rather, complete lack of one? That wasn't an honest mistake, that was plain bad governing. And our soldiers are paying for it with their lives.

And I respectfully disagree on Dems and Repubs being the same on domestic issues. I think they are very far apart there. (Which is not to say I don't think that both sides come across as utterly useless on many occasions.. )

But hey, at least the Dems are bringing back the five-day workweek (well, really more of a four-and-a-half day week), instead of the three-day one the last Congress enjoyed. Not much, but it's a start. If they ditch the month vacation in August, I'll really know they're serious. For a Congress that claimed to be so anti-French, they sure liked to vacation like them...

If the Holocost never happened I would like him ( David Duke) to explain who put those numbered tattoos with paper documentation on those survivors arms. There is more proof of mass killings and the attempt to wipe out a race of people than there is of it never happening. To be honest and this may sound absurd but Germany should give its statehood to the Jewish people , it is they who uprooted these people from their homes all over Europe and slaughtered them . Europe should be held culpable along with U.S. for allowing this to happen they knew all along what was going on and yet they turned a blind eye to help these people. Most Jews that were killed by the S.S. and Hitlers puppets were European Jews , people who were part of the economic , scientific and cultural world , people who contributed to their communities and country.
