Is he just trying to find a way to have the last word....or do you in fact deny the previous as genocides?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10183882.post-1109102873629989102005-02-22T15:07:00.000-05:002005-02-22T15:07:00.000-05:00Although I do not agree with Ward Churchill's conc...Although I do not agree with Ward Churchill's conclusions, his argument is far from incomprehensible. In this and other articles he has charged that Prof. Lipstadt refuses to acknowledge that genocides perpetrated against native Americans, Armenians, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Rwandans, and other groups are in fact genocides at all. If one believes that these are in fact examples of genocide, and if Lipstadt has refused to recognize them as such, then clearly she is denying these genocides. Although equating historical and philosophical debates to perpetration of the crimes themselves appears ludicrous, this is the very argument put forth in Lipstadt's own, "Denying the Holocaust." She wrote, "Today the bacillus carried by these rats ["Holocaust deniers"] threatens to 'kill' those who already died at the hands of the Nazis for a second time by destroying the world's memory of them." (p. xvii) It doesn't appear to be too far-fetched to believe that Prof. Lipstadt might equate "Holocaust Deniers" with Adolf Eichmann.<br />The question then becomes, what is Prof. Lipstadt's view on the 'genocides' that Prof. Churchill is concerned about?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10183882.post-1108746597065933422005-02-18T12:09:00.000-05:002005-02-18T12:09:00.000-05:00Chief Whitey Fakemgood said that?
