Director Oliver Stone belittled the Holocaust during a shocking interview with the Sunday Times today, claiming that America's focus on the Jewish massacre was a product of the "Jewish domination of the media." The director also defended Hitler and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and railed against the "powerful lobby" of Jews in America.
Stone said that his upcoming Showtime documentary series "Secret History of America," seeks to put Hitler and Communist dictator Joseph Stalin "in context."
"Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support," Stone told reporter Camilla Long during the interview, which can be found behind the paywall on the Sunday Times' website.
Stone said that, "Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30 [million killed]."
The Sunday Times interviewer then asked why there was such a focus on the Holocaust.
"The Jewish domination of the media," responded Stone. "There's a major lobby in the United States. They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f***** up United States foreign policy for years."
The director, who recently met with Iranian President Ahmadinejad, also slammed the U.S. policy toward Iran as "horrible."
"Iran isn't necessarily the good guy," said Stone. "[B]ut we don't know the full story!"
The Scarface screenwriter had even more encouraging words for socialist Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, who Stone called "a brave, blunt, earthy" man. The director has recently been promoting his Chavez-praising documentary called "South of the Border."
When the interviewer pointed out that Chavez has had a less-than-stellar record on human rights, Stone immediately dismissed the criticism.
"The internet's fully free [in Venezuela]," said Stone. "You can say what the hell you like. Compare it with all the other countries: Mexico, Guatemala, above all Colombia, which is a joke."
While Stone has not been as blunt about his views on Jews and the Holocaust in the past, he has been outspoken in his fondness for Chavez and his disagreements with the U.S.'s policy on Iran.
On ABC's Good Morning America on July 28, the director told anchor George Stephanopoulos that he "absolutely" believes Chavez is a good person, and claimed that there was "there's no pattern of censorship in this country [Venezuela]."
Stone also said that if the U.S. pursued sanctions against Iran, "it's going to be like North Vietnam again."

Sun, 07/25/2010 - 23:44 ET by Nick ShawExcuse me but, I went to school a long time ago when some semblance of the truth was taught. The Nazis killed a lot of Russians, true, but Stalin killed a lot more than Hitler did and a heck of a lot more after the war was over. This man, I'm sure, is working on pure revisionist history. He won't mention that Stalin and Hitler were BFFs before Hitler turned on Stalin. He won't mention that the Russians rolled into Poland at the same time as the Germans. He won't mention much of the truth. Trouble is the gullible public will lap it up like good little sheeple. Just like Venezuelans are not censored on the internet (only 'cause Chavez hasn't figured out how to do it and look acceptable to the world) but, anything on the airwaves or cable is censored. This is where the people get their news and it's Chavez 24/7. Is that the mark of the enlightened leader? I think not. Other than that, I thought there were hate speech laws in America? No? Tell that to Mel then.

Mon, 07/26/2010 - 00:19 ET by Phryj1He even said Hitler was the product of German, British, and American industrialists. In other words, he's saying Hitler happened because of capitalism. And he's saying the really bad thing Hitler did was attack fellow authoritarian socialist monster Stalin. What is it about these leftists that makes them admire oppressive authoritarian regimes? Unbelievable! And do they really believe having a powerful socialist government is better that having corporations? I remember Noam Chomsky saying something to the effect of "you can't control corporations, but you can hold the government accountable". That's completely backwards! At least with private companies, you can vote with your wallet. We have a hard enough time keeping our own congress responsible! Once you get a guy like Stalin in charge, good luck stopping him.

Stone's an idiot.
Mon, 07/26/2010 - 00:24 ET by CobraManStone needs a history refresher course. Hitler (Germany) was ALIGNED with the Russians for the first half of the war. Can anyone say the same with Hitler and the Jews? No? Didn't think so. Also, Russia didn't treat their Jews any better than Germany did.
Never mind the fact that it was STALIN who ordered his own troops to fight until death, half of which didn't even have guns for the first two years of conflict an who died by the MILLIONS because of that lack of equipment.
It was STALIN who ordered his own officers to shoot any Russian troops who retreated (which accounts for about 30 percent of Russian dead), and it was Stalin who decided that there will be no evacuation form any large Russian city, which killed well over a million citizens.
And that's after Stalin killed most of his generals off during his great purge and had no one left in which to defend Russia, at least until we Americans intervened and gave Russia not only equipment but the training needed to fight effectively.
If you must blame anyone for over 25 million dead Russians during WWII, blame Stalin!

The problem with your argument is that we are not trying to defend nor whitewash slavery nor the KKK (as Stone is with Hitler/Stalin/etc). We are being called racist just for disagreeing with the One's ideology. So the "tactic" is neither the same nor even remotely similar.

Stone and Hitler in the same sentence is madness
Mon, 07/26/2010 - 14:51 ET by thinkerraySo Oliver wants to portray Hitler in the right context? 30 to 40 million Jews Killed; most of Europe invaded and plundered; more Russians killed than Jews; hundreds of thousands of great Americans sacrificed their lives to defeat Hitler; Hitler taught racism and bigotry; he murdered the educated and those who would not yield to his every whim; Hitler will go down as a mass murderer who created and ran some of the worst "death camps' ever seen or used. Yes - let's put Hitler in the right context: Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Pol Phot, Mao and Oliver Stone side by side with Ahmidinejead, Kim il Jung and Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden. Yes, let's call them Dictators and murderers and terrorists and all the other proper names that describe their evil! And all Mr. Stone wants to do is minimize their evil and throw mud at some Jewish people who are still standing up saying no to tyrants and history manipulators; those who want to deny the Holocaust.

Mon, 07/26/2010 - 19:39 ET by brerolBy and large the western world is ignorant of the massive number of Russians killed during WW2. As they are of the millions of Russians killed by Stalin before the war. But to blame the jews for this ignorance is absurd. Close your eyes and listen to what Stone has to say about the jews and you get the feeling you are listening to Hitler making one of his fiery Nuremberg speeches.

Oliver Stone: Jewish Dominated Media
Mon, 07/26/2010 - 23:47 ET by RPhillipsRPhillips Oliver Stone is a famous and more than competent movie maker. He is also provocative, and not always right.
Hitler was misunderstood, of course, by the Germans themselves mostly, but also by a lot of people who recognized the Versailles treaty was not only unfair, but Germany could not survive under its conditions. And Hitler was a spellbinding speaker, who told people what they wanted to hear with passionate "sincerity". They believed. And he made the trains run on time. But he was a monster, along with Stalin, Lenin, and Mao Tse Tung.
That doesn't justify what the NAZIs did, and yes, there was a holocaust. I had heard about the holocaust, the concentration camps, and there had been WWII movies which mentioned it all. But when I was sixteen I was looking through a storage room in my high school library, and saw a large stack of old black and white Life Magazines. They were from 1944-45, and I started looking through them.
There before my eyes were the first photos from the liberated concentration camps, and I almost dropped the magazine when I first saw the pictures. My first thoughts were, "How can human beings do that to each other?" I still ask that question now and then. Still no answer.
Stone is certainly right that the media is jewish dominated, and that is very old news. The holocaust card is played from time to time, in my judgment, for political and other reasons, and not just to remind us how inhumanity lies very close to the surface in our species. And there were many other groups, individuals, and bearers of unpopular ideas who were murdered in the holocaust besides the jewish community, a fact which is often underplayed.
I do defend Mr. Stone's right to state his opinion, no matter how much I disagree with him, nor how wrongheaded he may be on this and other subjects, some of which he has turned into successful movies. And, as I say, he is partly right in his statements.
Is it ironic or amusing....
