David Klinghoffer: The wages of whining

I agree 100% with Klinghoffer on both of his major points. Btw, the nazis used the parts of Darwinianism they liked, big time. They removed the parts they didn’t. But the link was clear.

But the real purpose of Klinghoffer’s column is to attempt to redirect Jewish anger toward the Discovery Institute’s main target: the theory of evolution...

This is laughable. Did Olberman write it?

Charles Johnson is a weirdo. He gets way too much space.

Hither certainly gets thrown around a lot. The dems said Bush was Hitler. Southpark used Saddam as the all purpose evil guy, romancing Satan who was more wimpy than Saddam. (I guess Saddam was the guy and Satan was the girl.)

Blaming Darwin for Hitler is akin to blaming a gun for murder.

Let me try one: Hitler was a vegetarian, therefore all vegetarians are genocidal maniacs.

Correct.

Hitler didn’t need Darwin, and, indeed, his social Darwinism was “directional” (i.e., toward a “higher state”), which not remotely biological Dawinism, which has no “direction.”

Star Trek makes the same scientific mistake.

(No, not getting involved with the evolution wars; I believe they make conservatives look stupid. Nor endorsing Darwin. Merely pointing out social Darwinism doesn’t even get the theory on which it is based correct.)

How ‘bout this one ...

Hitler had a sister, therefore all brothers are genocidal maniacs.

Or even better,

Hitler’s parents received a papal dispensation to marry, therefore the Pope is a genocidal maniac.

Is Klinghoffer any relation to Leon, the wheelchair
bound man who was thrown off the Achille Laro Cruise
ship by the PLO?

My opinion... Darwin begat Marx, who begat Hitler.

Godwin’s Law is abused as often as any of Darwin’s works.

Marxism comes from the Bible communists, the Owenites and Fourierists.

These were all inspired by Saint Sir Thomas Mores’, “Utopia.”

[... In Mein Kampf, an influential best-seller, he (Hitler) relied on the
language of Darwinian biology to declare a race war against the Jews...]

I thought the same thing. I don't know.

LOL. Marx and Engels published the Communist Manifesto in 1848. Darwin published the Origin of the Species in 1859.
