this line from the right isn't just ignorance. it's offensive.
it's as egregious as holocaust denial.
to an extent, it is holocaust denial: it's a denial of the nazis' mass slaughter of communists, socialists and liberals.
whether you want to raise it to that level or not, and whether you think it's arbitrary or not, it's the worst kind of historical revisionism. i can rarely handle another word from somebody when i hear that line. i just want to run them other with a bulldozer.
