David Irving: Anti-Semite & Holocaust Denier
May 4, 2010 By Leave a Comment
In his bestselling 1977 work, Hitler’s War, historian David Irving sought to present history “through Hitler’s eyes,” claiming that although Hitler was a “powerful and relentless military commander,” he was also a “lax and indecisive political leader.” Hitler’s War ultimately laid the basis for Irving’s lifelong claim that Hitler knew nothing of the Holocaust. It was during the 1980s that [...]
No Irish Need Invent Urban Legends About ‘No Irish Need Apply’ Signs
March 17, 2010 By Leave a Comment
My NewsReal colleague Michelle Horstman has penned a fine post espousing an even finer sentiment: that the Irish should serve as a great example to other ethnic newcomers; despite breathtaking, backbreaking hardship, they eventually embraced the American melting-pot model and assimilated into the broader culture, without losing their distinctive cultural and religious traditions.
The Irish also [...]

Two readers (so far) contacted NRB to express their disgust. Their names will be changed to protect both the ignorant and [...]

A People’s History of Howard Zinn – The New Ledger
January 29, 2010 By 11 Comments
One of the unwritten laws of opinion journalism is to never kick a man when he’s dead, at least, not until an appreciable amount of time has passed. The question is whether this can or should hold true for those who make their living by doing precisely that. The death at the age of 87 [...]
Eric Kurlander: Empathy for Hitler? What in the World is Oliver Stone Talking About? – HNN
January 20, 2010 By 1 Comment
Last week the director Oliver Stone caused quite a stir when, in describing his new Showtime mini-series, “A Secret History of America,” he declared that Adolf Hitler was an “easy scapegoat throughout history… [who]‘s been used cheaply.” “We can’t judge people as only ‘bad’ or ‘good,’” Stone continued. Even Hitler was “the product of a [...]
