I just cannot stand this cohen guy... even when he is a little bit correct. I just can’t stand him.

I’ve seldom agreed with Cohen, but this time, he nailed it.
The news media were generally silent about it since the bigger picture involved moving several million Germans out of their ancestral areas to make way for several million Poles as Belarus was moved West as well to give Joseph Stalin a bigger chunk of territory.
With many in the press enthralled by the Communist USSR, and absolutely no one wanting to sound sympathetic to the Germans you only began to hear about any of this outside of university classroom sometime in the 1980s.
Helen's original political views were probably rather pro-German and pro-Falange (the Lebanese Christian fascist party of the time). Today she's just an old fascist apparatchik who makes her way among the glitteratti by pretending to be a Commie.
The antisemitism goes with the show however!
The liberal beltway media pundits eating their own...
I would hope that the lesson that is learned is that Americans are tired of the nuts in our media and government and are starting to speak up. Hopefully, enough speak up before it’s to late for the country.
General Patton a huge bigot and coward. Suuuuuuure...!!!
And yet Cohen will do whatever he can to get Ubama and his party re-elected.
What a hypocrite. What a pantload.
I saw Richard Cohen and thought ..GAG..but I was a child in WW2...and know some history because I have been trying to get some glimmer of understanding of how on earth the horrific treatment of Jews happened...(Never will understand..never)
Helen Thomas’s comments were not only despicable but stupid.
....as Richard Cohen continues to support Obama and the likes of Reverend Wright.
This is the first time anywhere I have seen what Cohen has written about General Patton. I have read where Patton’s troops sped to the concentration camps to free them. I have read a lot about General Patton both good and bad but nothing like what Cohen is alleging has ever surfaced in my readings.
And yet for somebody who claims to be so enlightened and intelligent, they still can’t logically explain why they voted for Obama.
Pigs are flying!
“Well, I don’t know about “everywhere else,” but after World War II, many Jews did attempt to “go home” to Poland. This resulted in the murder of about 1,500 of them — killed not by Nazis but by Poles, either out of sheer ethnic hatred or fear they would lose their (stolen) homes.”
Except the Kielce “pogrom”, which was carried out by security formations of the communist government (a fact, not theory) to cover up totally falsified elections, there weren’t any ethnic cleansing of Jews in post-war Poland and the idea that Poles made money on Holocaust, which he is clearly promoting, is disgusting and about as accurate as 9/11 conspiracy theories. This fool doesn’t mind to insult the whole nation just to attract more attention to his crappy piece of text.
