| Bruce Ramsey thinks we have the memory of an Alzheimer's patient with a head injuryAce posted a few days ago a link to an op-ed that provided a pretty clear example of just how far the left-wing media is willing to go to rewrite history. Fortunately, LGF preserved the text of what was originally published, including the money quote: What Hitler was demanding was not unreasonable. He wanted the German-speaking areas of Europe under German authority. He had just annexed Austria, which was German-speaking, without bloodshed. There were two more small pieces of Germanic territory: the free city of Danzig and the Sudetenland, a border area of what is now the Czech Republic.Not surprisingly, a few people showed up to let him know how unreasonable his claim was. If you didn't catch the original text, I suggest popping over to read it in its entirety, so you can revel in the idiocy that has now been posted. When I read the op-ed yesterday afternoon, the revisions were already taking place. I wish I'd saved a copy of what was posted then, since he's revised it even further. The narrative we're given about Munich is entirely in hindsight. We know what kind of man Hitler was, and that he started World War II in Europe. But in 1938 people knew a lot less. What Hitler was demanding at Munich was not unreasonable as a national claim (though he was making it in a last-minute, unreasonable way.) Germany's claim was that the areas of Europe that spoke German and thought of themselves as German be under German authority. In September 1938 the principal remaining area was the Sudetenland.Is it just me, or were ten million copies of Mein Kampf not published in the mid-1920s? Was Hitler not running around spouting anti-Semitic rhetoric in the mid-1920s? Are we not obligated when a national leader who is working toward developing nukes starts talking about wiping an entire nation off the map, or a national leader threatens to attempt to bring an economic crisis to the US, to do something more than say, "We'd really prefer you didn't do that..." Are we going to pretend that we had no warning? Apparently this particular editor thinks we can rewrite last century's history as easily as we can ignore what's happening internationally this century. Not only has he rewritten history to reflect a kinder, gentler Hitler, but he's rewriting his own history too. But hey, he's another Seattle 'newsman' who thinks he can decide what's news and what isn't. Must be something in the water up there. --Alice H. Comments1

The news media are so in the tank for Obama I expect to see Jon Stewart with a sniper rifle at McCain's next public appearance. They are completely effin' out of control.
And don't talk about Obama's charm winning them over. He is their creature. This is not a race of Democrats vs. Republicans -- this is a proxy election to decide if the mainstream media will rule America. Posted by: Trimegistus at May 17, 2008 11:49 PM (gYcFo) 6

John Ryan, let's not forget that Rexford Tugwell and the rest of FDR's favorite boys were die hard fascists. Hugh Johnson kept a picture of Mussolini in his office..
I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll get out my copy of Liberal Fascism and start quoting Democrats who loved fascism, and you keep jabbering about "The Business Plot". As for Chamberlain and Munich, the idiot newspaper columnist would have the right idea if the Sudetenland had been majority German or if Hitler had just wanted the Sudetenland. The problem comes when you look at the true makeup of the Sudetenland, not to mention exactly what the extent of Sudetenland is. Without getting into specifics, suffice to say that the ethnic blend in the western areas of Czechoslovakia is muddled, to say the least. More importantly, the Sudetenland contains the Skoda Works and several key invasion routes, not to mention the majority of the Czech border fortifications. It would be as though someone demanded and got half the state of Virginia, gaining them the world's largest naval base and started them out 100 miles from the capital. No, the usual conclusions about Munich are the correct ones. It was about peace at any price, it was about being willing to trade the freedom of the others for your own comfort, and yes, as Churchill so beautifully put it it was "feeding the crocodile in the hope that he will eat you last." Posted by: Britt at May 18, 2008 12:10 AM (ggOIi) 16
Yep, that Jonah Goldberg sure is a knuckle-dragging conservative retard who doesn't know anything about history. A liberal could never embrace fascism. It's just impossible! Only conservatives are fascists.

Now, unable to defend his last post, he has a new one ...
<<My previous post having inflamed a few hundred people, I'll try another tack. Forget the Munich conference. My point is really not about that anyway. It is about "appeasement" as a political label to prevent a conversation in the present. I
grew up facing the prospect of nuclear death from the Russians, and
also the specter of world Communism. Well, we talked to the Russians.
It didn't solve everything, but it did lead to a nuclear test ban, and
a red telephone, and a few useful things. And finally, Communism went
away.>> Posted by: anne at May 18, 2008 12:15 AM (uJBct) 18

In particular, to apply that label to the elected leaders of the Palestinians is to say that you aren't going to listen to their claims to a homeland. I think they do have a claim. So do the Israelis. In order to get anywhere, each side has to listen to the other. To continually bring up Hitler, the Nazis, the Munich Conference and “appeasement,” is to try to prolong the stalemate.
The stalemate should be finished by pushing all the residents of Gaza into the Western Bank. They have a homeland and the cancer is cut out of Israel. Would this be a popular solution...not so much but it is the only one that will really work. Posted by: Honqi at May 18, 2008 12:34 AM (+WuMm) 22

And who could forget Joe Kennedy Sr., father of Ted, crasher of stocks and one time US Ambassador to London. No conservative he. Joe is probably best known for running booze during prohibition and would otherwise be compared with Al Capone, except that Capone never supported the Nazi's. Joe’s very brief political career ended abruptly it seems, when FDR decided that Churchill was not going to go for using the Nazi’s as a wedge to free Ireland. Who knew?

In one way, I don't feel like Ramsey is doing anything that wrong here. Come on, you people don't sincerely think he honestly meant to say "Hitler wasn't that bad," do you? Yeah, he's being duplicitous by not saying he's altering his argument because it sounds much worse than it really is, which is bad for a lot of reasons on its own, not the least of which is that it's something that Ace does basically every time he posts some loose shit. But he really wan't kissing Der Fuhrer's ass here. Now then, that said, he's still a colossal moron for the fact that what he's saying almost proves its own converse. You have to work really hard to achieve that level of logical inversion. Not surprisingly, Barack Obama also did it this week. Posted by: marchand chronicles at May 18, 2008 02:25 AM (nhaP2) 30

"And I guess the end of the cold war had nothing to do with thousands of nukes being pointed at the USSR..."

Maybe someone should ask him if he also thinks that Islam's claim to all of Israel is also reasonable. Then see if their claim to Spain and India are also 'reasonable'. Could be interesting. Spain would be handed over to Islam since they claim it while Spain could claim Central and South America since they speak Spanish there.

The point is that even if we excuse the faction that argued for appeasement in 1938 on the grounds that they didn't know what we know now, by 1942 their error was plain to see. Likewise, the Sovs were on a roll until we started pushing back in the 1980's. Appeasement doesn't work; it just gives the bad guys a part of what they want at no cost.
Negotiations can be great where everybody is reasonable and operating in good faith. We don't have that with Iran or the various terrorist groups that plague the region. Negotiations will not resolve anything except the order in which the croc tries to eat what it wants. Posted by: VRWC Agent at May 18, 2008 09:24 AM (Z3AmO) 39
What Hitler was demanding at Munich was not unreasonable as a national claim.

At no point did I suggest that they were not previously holding comments for approval, so you might want to dial back the incredibly insulting and condescending attitude. If you bothered to check, you'd note that I have a previous comment on there that did make it onto the site. My point was simply that they stopped posting any comments after a certain time, about the same time he changed the text of the article to remove the offending line. Please, try not to be so arrogant and presume everyone is an idiot but yourself. It will make you more friends. Heh... I left a comment noting that this shows someone so in the tank for a political candidate that they are willing to abandon all pretense of objectivity and reason to defend them. He emailed me back and told me he'd not stated which candidate he supports. I replied that he didn't need to. In any case, the problem with this guy's mindset (and those who try to defend him and Senator Obama) is that he is pretending President Bush's speech indicates a binary switch: negotiation or no negotiation. President Bush didn't say that, he pointed out the obvious fact that some people cannot be negotiated with, that it is pointless and arrogant to presume that your magic words will somehow sway them to a conclusion they'd never considered. I understand this ideology well because when I was in school, I used to believe that. Then I grew up. Posted by: Christopher Taylor at May 18, 2008 11:19 AM (3+3kx) 45

Churchill was in a distinct minority when he said what you quoted. It wasn't until Hitler started training his guns on Poland that people in large numbers began to realize what sort of person he was.
The real sin of the appeasers was not giving concessions to Hitler. The real sin was the weak position in which they put the British military through cutbacks, disarmament, etc.--something that needed the entire span of WWII, and enormous help from the US, to overcome.

Two general rules: (1) You cannot appease someone who only wants more, you can only make him stronger with your concessions. (2) If you want peace, prepare for war. Then and now the appeasers ignore these lessons. Neither sin is greater than the other. And plenty of people knew what Hitler was just as plenty of us understand today who the Islamofascists are.

Well, comment 43 beat me, but here goes. This snippet from the article caught my eye: What Hitler was demanding was not unreasonable. He wanted the German-speaking areas of Europe under German authority. What a whopper. It was reasonable in the late 1930s for Germany to rule Switzerland? Certainly Mr. Ramsey must know that the Swiss - the majority of whom are German speakers - were not considered by Hitler to be fair game to be either annexed or willingly folded into the Reich. To believe otherwise is a monumental misconception. The Swiss did not come through WW2 with clean hands, but they were very prepared to make Germany pay dearly for invading. Austria may have been annexed, but they were pretty happy to be a part of the greater Reich, at least for a while. After the war, they conveniently began referring to themselves as Hitler's first victims, but that is laughable. Posted by: Pigilito at May 18, 2008 02:47 PM (nhBBi) 60

There is a school of thought that Chamberlain could not have opposed Hitler at Munich because Britain had so weakened herself militarily that she could not have put up any resistance, and the French, well, they were the French back then just like they are now, and that Munich bought some time for rearmament, but this Ramsey guy is just a dipshit. Churchill was right at the time of the Munich agreement, and Ramsey is wrong now.

We tend to look back and see Churchill in the Thirties as a lone prophet crying out in the wilderness. It is worth remembering that he was not alone in speaking out against the appeasers.

We know what kind of man Hitler was, and that he started World War II in Europe. But in 1938 people knew a lot less.
Pure unadulterated bullshit. By 1938, Kristalnacht had happened. The Berlin Olympics had been carried off. The Kindertransport had been organized. Streicher's loathesome propaganda had been reprinted all over Europe. To not be aware of what was coming, you had to be wilfully blind. My wife and I have in our collection a book called The Yellow Spot, which was published in Britain in 1936. It describes the systematic persecution of the Jews in Germany from the Nazis' assuming power, and reprints Nazi anti-Jewish propaganda. This stuff wasn't hidden - far from it, the Nazis were proud of it and boasted of it. No, in 1938, anyone with his eyes open knew exactly the sort of a man Hitler was. And now, I know the sort of man Bruce Ramsey is, too. Posted by: Brown Line at May 18, 2008 10:06 PM (WXQ4x) 66
"Pure unadulterated bullshit. By 1938, Kristalnacht had happened." To be accurate, Kristalnacht did not take place until after the Munich conference - about 6 weeks after, so it was clear right off the bat what it would lead to if it somehow wasn't clear before. I also want to address the defense of Munich from the paleocon Buchananite right - that WWII was bad because it led to Sovet domination of Eastern Europe. Yes, pitiful Pat is still at it, recently attacking someone for calling WWII the "good war". But the fact is if we had stood up to Hitler when we should have, the Soviets might have never taken over Eastern Europe in the first place (not to menton Yalta). After all, what happened in 1938-9? Essentially the West threw Eastern Europe under the bus to appease Hitler (no wonder this is an appealing strategy for Obama, he loves to throw his friends and relatives under the bus). If we had stood by them, not only would we have stopped Hitler, but we would have created a bulwark against future Soviet expansion. Posted by: Gary Rosen at May 19, 2008 01:22 AM (sHuCu) 67
