Oliver Stone: 'Jewish-Dominated Media' Prevents Hitler from Being Portrayed 'in Context'

By Alana Goodman

Director Oliver Stone belittled the Holocaust during a shocking interview with the Sunday Times today, claiming that America's focus on the Jewish massacre was a product of the "Jewish domination of the media."

The director also defended Hitler and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and railed against the "powerful lobby" of Jews in America.

Stone said that his upcoming Showtime documentary series "Secret History of America," seeks to put Hitler and Communist dictator Joseph Stalin "in context."

"Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support," Stone told reporter Camilla Long during the interview, which can be found behind the paywall on the Sunday Times' website.

ummm, okay. This is the same clown who made one of the most dishonest movies of all time, JFK. He's been given plenty of rope, looks like he's putting it to good use.

[Burgold]

yeeesh... anytime you're championing Hitler I think you've well... (mama taught me not to use those words)

[SKINS@THEGOALLINE]

Oliver Stoned?

[GhostofSparta]

Very well Mr Stone. What exactly is the correct context to portray the man who massacred over 6 million of his own people (not all Jewish, btw, also included were gypsies, homosexuals, the handicapped, the elderly....basically the "undersirables"), started the bloodiest war in human history (hell, the "Eastern Front" in Russia itself was bloodier than almost any single war in history), and destroyed his own country as a result of all of the above?

Oh wait, let me guess, it's the fault of the League of Nations, American isolationists, Russian robot spies, Martian invaders, and the Illuminati, right?

all I can say is he is a big supporter of Chavez

and what is worse Woody Allen said the GOP should be made illegal and Obama made the Ruler for 10 years so he can fix everything.

[ACW]

This is the same douche who made a pro-Chavez movie :insane:

[Spaceman Spiff]

Wow...what an idiot.

[dockeryfan]

I would love to know what context he is talking about. What an idiot. People already realize how a leader like Hitler was even able to come to power. I find myself shrugging my shoulders.

[The Evil Genius]

This guy (Stone) is a tool.

But he did apologize this week for his stupidity.

Kind of.

I kinda understand what he's saying, he's saying that there are more, deeper sides to Hitler than just a monster that never get displayed in movies. However, I don't think it's because of "Jewish controlled media", it's because Hitler's atrocities overshadow any humanity he had.

[Corcaigh]

Even if he means it and believes it, it's a patently stupid statement to make because the Jewish dominated media will distort his message and not give him a fair presentation.

[SkinInsite]

I thought we deported this guy after Alexander.

[tomwvr]

one other thing - one of Oliver Stones parents was Jewish

[greenspandan]

what a maroon

[DixieFlatline]

I willing to bet Hollywood brethren accept his apology much quicker than they did, if ever, for Mel Gibson.

[CrabR]

i hate the Jewish dominated media crap, you hear that from the neo nazi types and Mel Gibson

but Hitler is not Being Portrayed in Context. He was evil but a brilliant politician

when the next Hitler comes along people are not going to recognize him as they will be looking for a raving madman.

So was one of Hitler's. He was full of self-loathing over it. Maybe the same for Stone?

[jnhay]

I agree with him that it is at least really difficult to put a historical event in context when you feel so strongly in one position.

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

So was one of Hitler's. He was full of self-loathing over it. Maybe the same for Stone?

so was Ahmadinejad

[Destino]

I bet his agent had a panic attack when he heard about this. What a complete idiot. Who is dumb enough to take even a slightly pro Hitler stance in the media?

Enjoy the **** storm moron.

[SKINS@THEGOALLINE]

So was one of Hitler's. He was full of self-loathing over it. Maybe the same for Stone?

I thought Hitler's parents were Roman Catholic.

that is a rumor it has never been proven either way.

In the context of the times Hitlers Antisemitism was not unusual. The original deed to my lot dated 1932, States "no Negroes, Jews or Asians"

Antisemitism was alive and well in the States in the 30's

[jnhay]

I thought Hitler's parents were Roman Catholic.

It looks like, if anything, he had a jewish grandfather, but that's unlikely.

[Unforgiven]

The older Oliver Stone gets, the crazier he gets.

p.s. - Platoon is a great movie.
