It’s a fortunate thing that Bill O’Reilly’s latest book, “Killing Patton,” was written by him and not someone else. If not, O’Reilly would have taken the poor person apart, criticizing the book for its chaotic structure, its considerable padding and its repellent admiration of a war-loving martinet who fought the Nazis and really never understood why. George S. Patton stood almost shoulder to shoulder with them in his anti-Semitism — not that O’Reilly seems to have noticed or, for that matter, mentioned it in his book.

“George S. Patton stood almost shoulder to shoulder with them in his anti-Semitism “
That rich coming from the “washing tub compost”...
I wonder how they feel about Woodrow Woody Wilson?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/wilsonfellows/index.html
Oh they have a internal program named after him....
You know the same guy that screen the film “Birth of a Nation” which is a propaganda peice for the Klan... And woody wilson was the same man who RE-SEGREGATED the millitary....
Now Patton may have been anti-semetic, but did he let it get in the way of his decisions? Do we even know if he did? Woodrow Wilson’s Racism sure as HELL became POLICY!
So while Patton may have been anti-semetic his actions are documented to have help defeat germany who was killing jews at the time...
Ted Baxter O’Reilly may have written a crappy book, but the Washington Post is despicable for using his crappy book as a way to SMEAR a millitary Hero while ignore their own skeleton in their OWN closet...
[ It’s a Washington Post reviewer————take it all with a grain of salt. ]
Oh and they WORSHIP the PROGRESIVE DOCUMENTED RACIST Woodrow “Birth of a Nation” Wilson over there at the COMMIE-POST...

Patton’s early life in California was interesting. His father was Los Angeles County District Attorney. His mother was a Wilson, for whom Mount Wilson above the San Gabriel Valley was named. Young Georgie idolized the “eccentric” Banning brothers who owned the stage coach lines and Catalina Island. Patton’s wife was a Banning cousing whom he met on Catalina.
Liberals hate real men. No surprise.
And they love this racist: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/wilsonfellows/index.html
Woody wilson...
No excuses for a Millitary Hero like Patton, but plenty for Woodrow Willson..
I guess the progressive card is a “Get out of Racism Jail Free” card...
Patton liberated Jews from several camps and was appalled by what the Nazis had done. He was not antisemitic as this POS who wrote this article suggests.
What Cohen is NOT doing is recognizing that there were the Jewish concentration/extermination camp people and camps with Displaced Person which were defined as those moved from other countries into Germany to work as slave labor. Examples of DPs were Russians (pows), Ukranians, Poles, French, Dutch, Belgians. The Russians, Ukranians and Poles were out for revenge and in somewhat better physical health than the Jewish camp inmates who were slated for execution. I believe it was these latter, non-Jewish DPs that Patton was refering to.
He got a lot of grief for not immediately replacing them with people that did not know what the heck they were doing.
He chose pragmatism over politics.
According to “The Patton Papers”, Patton wrote:
“Harrison and his ilk believe that the displaced person is a human being, which he is not, and this applies particularly to the Jews who are lower than animals.”
However, Patton also wrote in the same letter, just three sentences later:
“Furthermore, I do not see why Jews should be treated any better or any worse than Catholics, Protestants, Mohammedans, or Mormons.”
The claimed antisemitism in Patton, to the extent that it exists, is clearly far milder than the level of systematic disgust toward Jews exhibited by Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the overwhelming majority of the modern Democrat party. I found myself wondering how much of it was anti-Jewish and how much was disgust at them as displaced persons - people who had meekly boarded trains to the death camps rather than fighting for their lives and their families. I would have to read a whole lot more Patton to be sure, but I am disgusted by those who would board the trains. It would be far better to shoot it out and if you’re lucky take even one Nazi with you. while dying with your boots on, rather than strip down so they can use your clothes and boots once you step into the gas chamber.
Is this the same Cohen who recently through a hissy fit over an unflattering review in the The Wall Street Journal?
Patton stood shoulder to shoulder with the Nazi’s?
So, they bombed Pearl Harbor?
Real friends..
“Lucky Forward” by one of Patton’s aides was a great read. He was certainly a complex & flawed individual, but he was in the right place at the right time.
Yeah, you might, too. Especially if his first name started with "R".
11 ... Actually, Martin Duggard does a pretty good job writing O’Reilly’s books for him, albeit at about a junior-high level. ...
Agreed
10 ... Where does he find the time? ...
It's pretty clear that BO'Re is on his way out at FNC. He is 65 and wealthy. Look at his vacation time away from "TO'RF" and his touring auditorim shows with Dennis Miller. He is coasting now on "TO'RF". He has groomed Megyn Kelly to succeed him.

Amen, brother. About 10 years ago I was talking with a church friend who was a WWII veteran and had served in Patton's 3rd Army. He pulled his wallet out and produced that very picture of Patton "relieving" himself in the Rhine River.
Below is my letter to BO'Re that I e-mailed today in regards to his book, "Killing Patton".
“Killing Patton” was an excellent, fair & balanced read brimming with history and no fluff. Very disturbing facts regarding “Wild” Bill Donovan, the NKVD, FDR, and Stalin. May I humbly suggest the topic/title of your and Duggard’s next book – “Killing America”? The chapter title about the MSM could be “Not Looking Out for You”. I would be happy to submit the “No Spin Zone” page about you which would document your willful/deliberant blindness to calling out POTUS Obama’s communist ideology and goals for fear of being called a racist. The real tragedy is that you could see that FDR weakened the U.S. by embracing Stalin over Churchill but are going wrong in not connecting the dots with the current administration.
Yep. As you said, EV, Liberals hate masculinity.
Very interesting man. And he was spot on about the Soviets, he had them pegged from a mile away.
I recall he sailed his family to Hawaii nearly incomprehensibly out of his mind with a severe concussion from a polo accident (kicked in the head by a horse?)
But they got there safely...:)
Actually, yes I would.
In one of the Patton books they speak of that trip. It has been years since I read it and I do not recall that specific detail, but I do recall that he had never sailed before and taught himself to sail, as well as to navigate by the stars on that trip.
If he was "incomprehensibly out of his mind" that would explain why he did that.
;)
It was actually one of Cohen's journalist brethren that did that. Patton just agreed with the premise.
Bump, Phil.
