If O’Reilly were to be put on trial for stupidity, I think maybe this book would be Exhibit A.

[Michael.SF.]

who fought the Nazis and really never understood why

Stopped right there. You would think a Cohen would not be that stupid.

[Slump Tester]

Patton standing shoulder to shoulder with Nazis? BULLSHIT!

Cohen will smoke turds in hell for that.

[miss marmelstein]

Richard Cohen doesn’t like PATTON???!

Of course, O’Reilly’s books are disasters but to put down Patton...wow.

[Dr. Thorne]

Who knows? If not for Patton, Cohen might never have been born.

[forgotten man]

I doubt if Ted Baxter wrote “Killing Patton” or any of the other books that he hawks of TV. He always has a new book for sale just in time for Christmas or Easter or both. Where does he find the time? Historians like John Toland, Cornelius Ryan, and William Manchester spent years researching and writing one book.

I read the biography of Patton written by Blumenson. It was good. Save yourself some money and go the pulblic library and read history written by real historians.

[ozzymandus]

I saw this was written by Richard Cohen and didn’t bother to read it. Cohen is a leftist RAT, jumping at the chance to smear both Patton and O’Reilly. Actually, Martin Duggard does a pretty good job writing O’Reilly’s books for him, albeit at about a junior-high level.

[PhilDragoo]

We are caught between two narcissists with their private truths.

I read and I continue to recommend Robert Wilcox, Target: Patton.

Patton was inconvenient in his insistence we defeat the tyranny emanating from Moscow.

Just as was James Forrestal as seen in the research by David Martin.

Patton would have run for Senate in California and then the White House all to finish the job of eradicating tyranny.

Instead, today we have what we have in the Senate from California and in the White House we have the flexible fellow traveler.

Cohen cries anti-Semitism against an anti-Communist seventy years dead while his president creates the new Islamic imperialism with the aid of his Muslim DCI.

[windsorknot]

Richard Cohen is a useful idiot for the Democrat Party and stands shoulder to shoulder with the anti-Semites in that Party.

[Fido969]

Within days, Congressional delegations came to visit the concentration camps, accompanied by journalists and photographers. General Patton was so angry at what he found at Buchenwald that he ordered the Military Police to go to Weimar, four miles away, and bring back 1,000 civilians to see what their leaders had done, to witness what some human beings could do to others. The MP's were so outraged they brought back 2,000.

I take anything that Richard Cohen, sexual harasser, says or writes with a pound of salt.

[GraceG]

“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...

[caveat emptor]

Goes for Oreilly and WaPo as well.

[ohioman]

Leave it to liberal scum like Cohen of the Washington Post to smear the good name of our second greatest General. (Patton is right behind G. Washington in my book)

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.

[GreyFriar]

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.

[Pollster1]

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.

[clintonh8r]

Is this the same Cohen who recently through a hissy fit over an unflattering review in the The Wall Street Journal?

[Vendome]

Patton stood shoulder to shoulder with the Nazi’s?

So, they bombed Pearl Harbor?

Real friends..

[Twotone]

“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.
