Was Ronald Reagan a Holocaust denier?

He wasn't talking about Jews. You can find the source as easily as I did.

You could have bothered to watch the other video in the side bar for context. He wasn't talking about the holocaust. Watch this at around 2.15 for the question he is responding to.

You mean to tell me a Holocaust Denier is misrepresenting the facts? No way. And I bet he wonders why no one takes him serious. Maybe he's an agent for the NWO and secretly spreading disinfo? I'll have a look for him at the next meeting.

The quote mine is called out within the comments thread as well; kind of hard not to notice...
 
Wow. What a great quote mine. I'm absolutely stunned at how perfectly that can be made to look like Holocaust denial, while at the same time, being so easily refutable.

We should save this as an example of exactly how good these scum bags are at finding ******** "evidence" to support their agenda. Someone somewhere put real time and effort into finding this.
 
I haven't reviewed the video, but I can say that the best evidence is that Reagan was NOT a Holocaust denier.

It's been said that during WWII, Reagan did nothing but make movies. It's true he made movies and di not serve overseas, but he also was privy to films from the Signal Corps, including the films of concentration camps taken near the end of the War. These films shocked Reagan. He discussed them with his colleagues and his family. If anything, Reagan was appalled at the notions that the horrors of the Holocaust would be forgotten or denied or covered up.
 
It has been taken from an interview about Vietnam where the interviewer asks about 6 million put into camps and Regan replies that he challenges the history and that claim.

Well, I suspect that, like most deniers, he just cut and pasted someone else's work, but yes, that's what this video did.

The videos really aren't all that long, and they are worth a look, just to see how brilliantly evil this quotemine really is. As I said above, someone took their time with this one.
 
I take it that MagZ now accepts than Ronnie was not a Holocaust denier.

What a damned waste of time and resources this thread is, then.

Anyone here care to refute this claim by Governor Reagan on the Holocaust?

After not watching the video to hear what Reagan was actually talking about, I guess MaGZ apparently didn't realize that Reagan was eventually elected to a higher office than governor of California.

I'm glad Brown bumped this golden oldie of Nazi apologist failure, as I missed it in it's first run.

Actually that was me but for reasons unknown to me a mod pealed off that and some subsequent posts. I even PMed Magz telling him should reply.

Beyond that, he actually kept copies of the films and showed them to his children, according to his biographer, and later claimed to have memories of visiting the camps himself.

2. He was but a movie-set soldier in World War II.

It's true that Reagan spent virtually all the war years flying a desk at the First Motion Picture Unit, USAAF, in Culver City. But that hardly means he did not passionately want to fight for his country overseas. Army doctors found his vision to be so defective, at "7/200 bilateral," that a tank could advance within seven feet of him before he could identify it as Japanese. His Warner Bros. colleague Eddie Albert, a veteran of the Pacific War, later told me about presenting Reagan with a souvenir from the bloodbath of Tarawa. "I've never forgotten the way he looked. Like I'd humiliated him."

In the spring of 1945, Capt. Reagan, as the FMPU's intelligence officer, spent weeks processing raw color footage from the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps. The images so burned into his brain that later in life - quite understandably - he imagined he had been there at Ohrdruf and Buchenwald. He kept one of those Army reels to show to each of his children in early adolescence, so that they could learn about man's inhumanity to man. Ask Patti. Ask Ron.

Oh crap. Does this mean he might be wrong about missiles at Ground Zero too?!?!?!
