Roger L. Simon:
Dear Ed,
May I call you Ed? You can certainly call me Roger.
I know you’ve been taking a lot of flak for that Tweet you made the other day – “Gay people were really the ones being persecuted in Hitler’s Germany” – some calling you about as sensitive as Attila the Hun and wondering why NBC Universal would allow such a bizarre personality to represent them in public, sort of like asking Donald Sterling to host their morning show.
And I realize too that you quickly deleted the Tweet after a deluge of responses from normal human beings.
But, even with all that, I just wanted to say thank you, sir, for my family and for myself!
You see you have solved the mystery of why my grandmother’s Uncle Lennie, “the bachelor,” was incinerated at Auschwitz. Unfortunately, his sexual preference did not appear on ancestor.com. But now we know.
It’s clear from your writing that Lennie’s Jewish identity would not have been enough, even though, as I’m sure you are aware as a prestigious political commentator at MSNBC, some recent investigators, including a French priest, have asserted that the stratospheric number of Jewish dead could actually be revised upwards.
And then, as you also must know, there are many groups besides Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust, among them Poles, Slavs, Serbs, gypsies, Soviet POWs, some leftists (although the Nazis began as a left-wing party), the mentally and physically disabled and, of course, gays. Hitler was, in his way, an equal opportunity genocidal maniac.
It’s interesting, however, that you single out gays as the most persecuted (can there be a most dead?). Have you ever considered why you might have done that?

I wonder if PJMedia had to delete this post?
The comments are disabled.
Or maybe their site is just being ”glitchy.”
Anyway, kudos to Roger Simon for this letter.
Academia has lately become quite anti-Semitic.
Seeing this hatred spread to media, even uber-Leftist media no one watches, is pretty bad.
The problem is widespread:
‘Climate of Anti-Semitism’: Jews From This European Country Are Leaving in Record Numbers (and It’s Not Ukraine)
It’s France, and Jews are quitting France at FOUR times the pace of just last year.
Jews Reportedly ‘Flooding’ Israeli Consulate to Get Out of Country
And Ukraine, too.
And there’s something rotten in Denmark!
So, Ed S. is parroting a filthy prejudice that he’d completely get away with in other places right now.
Will NBC let him skate?
The Far-Left are simply showing their racist true colors. The same pro-segregation Democrats who hated blacks in the 2oth century also hated Jews. Woodrow Wilson, (who’s tyrannical dictatorial administration Obama most mirrors,) for instance was a well known bigot of that school of thought. The surprise to me has been that so many Jew’s ignored the Democratic party’s racist history, and actually thought the leftist, progressive bigots were their friends. Have they learned nothing from a long history of socialist persecution of Jews? Socialists will only support you so long as you serve a useful purpose to their agenda. Once you are no longer useful to the progressives they turn on you like a rabid pack of jackals.
