The prosecuting attorney in the trial of Adolf Eichmann, retired Supreme Court justice Gabriel Bach, said on Monday that a psychiatric evaluation conducted on the Nazi leader following his capture in 1960 suggested that the man responsible for the deaths of millions during the Holocaust had ambivalent sexual tendencies.

[fso301]

Is ambivalent sexual tendency someone whose sexuality is not set as being exclusively heterosexual, or homosexual? Is it codespeak for a switch hitter?

I think it means he likes them both.

[tet68]

Oh, it means he can have sex with either hand,
big deal.

Anyone who doesn't realize what a gross over-simplification that is deserves to have history repeat itself right in front of his eyes.

[Ciexyz]

Don't want to know. Don't care.

[Red Badger]

Ambivalent usually means caring......

[Red Badger]

Oops,...Not caring..

[pankot]

Ever hear the phrase “ac-dc”? Think electricity as a metaphor...(can be either one).

[From the article] "... In his response, the expert said Eichmann’s psychiatric profile was that of a person with unprecedented murderous tendencies."

Gee whiz Doc, that's amazing.

[Ditto]

Ambivalence is a state of having simultaneous, conflicting feelings toward a person or thing.

So he had a love-hate relationship toward Jews? I'm not buying that one. I think the guy was just a thug who was happy as hell to ingratiate himself with the higher powers by becoming the biggest Jew hater he could be.

He was the ultimate bureaucrat -- loyal, highly efficient, and perfectly politically correct.

Google “pink swastika” they make a pretty good argument that most if not all of the Nazi leadership were flaming homos/boy lovers. So this is not really new news but interesting that they softened it a bit in order not to offend the politically correct victim class.

That is what I'm thinking it means. Eichmann was just like the other top nazis.

[Revolting cat!]

Bad families are all alike.

So, he is light in one of his loafers?

I figured something like that was going on.

Eichmann, the top nazi's and the fictional character Vito Spatafore had a lot in common.

Ach Too bad he was 70 years early.

Thanks to the repeal of DADT he would now be eligible for obama’s military and would be a protected class of soldat.

You’d think that people back then would have clued in on it when the Nazi’s had a fashion designer design their uniforms. Granted they did look really cool but still that was a dead give-a-way!
