Mein Expelled

By John Pieret

ADVERTISEMENTS

John Wilkins has an excellent point:

One of the enduringly evil things done by Hitler and the Nazis was to pick a minority - Jews - and blame them for all the evils that had occurred in German society. Of course, all these evils had causes quite unrelated to the Jews, mostly caused by the overweening ambitions of the German militarists and industrialists who pushed the German speaking nations into the Great War. As Hitler was of the same ilk as those who caused the problems, he obviously couldn't blame his own kind. So he blamed the Jews.

But how, exactly, is this any different than Ben Stein, the producers of Expelled and the Discovery Institute blaming virtually all the world's real and perceived ills since 1859, both domestic and international, on atheists (and "Darwinists," who are equated in all ways with atheists)?

That some of the people, like Stein and David Klinghoffer, who participate in this demonizing of the atheist "other," are themselves Jewish simply adds to the horror.
