And I am unspeakably angered by the Holocaust deniers, "birthers" so-called Patriots (that's a matter of opinion.) & the other refuse who call themselves good Americans. They are liars. People risked their lives, gave their lives, to save others who were considered unacceptable as human beings. Thank God for that. Thank God for Miep Gies and others like her who truly followed the word of God..

However, I did want to mention the death at 100 of a wonderful woman, Miep Gies, who saved the Diary of a certain young lady by the name of Anne Frank, which diary came to symbolize the basic goodness & decency & hope of ppl in the midst of a Hell on Earth. Miep Gies, in spite of extreme danger to herself & family, did the only just and right thing that could, no, HAD to be done. She hid the 8 ppl, (I think it was 8 ) from the Nazis. When the Franks et al were found out & sent to death camps, Miep Gies hid The Diary of Anne Frank from the clutches of the Nazis. Anne Frank died of typhus just 2 weeks before her death camp was liberated. Of the 8 ppl who were sent to death camps, only Anne's father survived. He passed away just a few yr. ago. To the very end Anne Frank believed in the basic goodness of humanity. And hateful ppl murdered her & millions of others because they were Jewish or Gypsies, Russians, Slavs, Jehovah Witnesses, children who were infirm in institutions. It was said that the parents of the children went to the institutions knowing what would happen to their beloved to say good-bye to them. Heartbreaking beyond comprehension.

You're rright, it is irrelevant. Obviously you watch too much bad television. Not something to be proud of. “Snorlax: It’s pretty irrelevant, but the only one of the three handymen on the Newhart show who spoke was Larry; the two Darryls never uttered a sound.”

Everyone: The hostility directed against the SPLC just shows that Mr. Dees, Mr. Potok et al. are on target. Racism is inconsistent with real logic or rationality, so of course a racist's response to being called out is to spew baseless counteraccusations or plain old nastiness.
