There are few American intellectuals and journalists that your humble TomatoBubble host here is impressed with. Former Reagan Treasury official and Deputy Editor at the Wall Street Journal, Paul Craig Roberts, is one of those few. Putting aside his occasional bizarre rants about White "racism"; just for his honest, courageous and unwavering declaration that 9/11 was an inside-job with Israeli involvement, Roberts is entitled to a well-deserved hat-tip from all truth-seekers.
But alas, even fine-tuned clocks can skip a second every now and then; and when they do, your eagle-eyed reporter here is compelled, with all love and admiration, to take even his truther brethren to the woodshed for an affectionate ass-whoopin'.
Dr. Roberts. This is going to hurt me more than it does you.
In a recent piece rightly denouncing America's aggressive foreign policy, Roberts commits a double-error when making a comparison to "the Nazis". Here:
"Just as the Nazis proclaimed 'Deutschland uber alles,' neoconservatives proclaim 'America uber alles.' "
Face - Palm - Deep sigh.
Putting aside the fact that Roberts, like so many other truthers, is still evidently clueless as to who the real culprits behind World War II actually were; he should know by now that the term "Nazi" was always one of derogatory Western-Jewish propaganda. The National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) never referred to themselves as "Nazis". Nonetheless, if one wishes to refer to them as "Nazis" out of disrespect, it's his prerogative.
But the error which is totally baseless, and cannot be allowed to stand, is this rubbish about "Deutschland uber alles" - (Germany above all things). First of all, the big bad "Nazis" never "proclaimed Deutschland uber alles". That well-recognized term - often mistranslated to "Germany above all others"
