It's a serious academic work here that is assumed to be so ridiculous that no thinking person would ever ask such a question. Hence, we get unthinking commentary.Daghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664271893389366772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647145640661836989.post-61201069639080719472009-06-30T20:20:47.997-07:002009-06-30T20:20:47.997-07:00Well, flair is horribly wrong, but I agree - it...Well, flair <em>is</em> horribly wrong, but I agree - it's bending logic so far beyond its natural limits, it would make a Cra-zee straw look like a ruler. <br /><br />From <em>The Tao of Steve</em>: "Doin' stuff is overrated.

Why? This is an obvious logical fallacy ('Hitler was evil, Hitler did X, therefore X is evil') and does not bode well for Jones' critical thinking abilities.<br /><br />Sadly Jone DOES have UK listeners.

He slaps the label onto anything that irks him. It shows a pretty shocking level of ignorance. To him it appears that the Nazis weren’t real people with a real set of scary beliefs who perpetrated real atrocities; they're bogeymen who act as a blank canvass for his neurosis.<br /><br />As a vegetarian, I've had the Hitler-was-a-vegetarian thing a few times. It beggars belief that anyone thinks that's meaningful. And yet they do. Hitler breathed too, so lets all hold our breaths and fight fascism.<br /><br />Creepy, creepy article, Eugene, especially for the insight into what might have been. Though the comments below the article...no Britain is not Nazi Germany, and neither Gordon Brown or Obama are Hitler. <br /><br />If Jones was British, they would be his audience (some of them possibly are, he does have some U.K. listeners).TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483597727866182433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647145640661836989.post-32478773446232132862009-06-21T06:08:03.737-07:002009-06-21T06:08:03.737-07:00OMFG.
