NAZI ******* vs. LYING JEWISH *******
By Larry Parr Rolf Tueschen overstepped, though not by so much as Roman Parparov below in reply. Mr. Tueschen called an Israeli named Omid David "a lying Jewish *******" because the latter called a German politician a "Nazi *******." Mr. Tueschen argues that the politician was or is not a "Nazi *******," and he turned the tables. He termed Mr. David a "lying" (accurate gerundival adjective, he avers) "Jewish *******" (accurate ID and noun-for-noun response, he avers). First, the truth of the matter is what counts, and a German has every bit as much a right to call a Jew a ******* as anyone else, including say, an officially denominated "righteous gentile." Some of us are opposed to p.c. categories of who get to speak about whom. Secondly, Mr. Tueschen went too far because Mr. David did not call the German politician a "German *******"; he called him a "Nazi *******." Mr. Tueschen, who defends himself on the basis of offering an accurate symmetrical response, would have done a bit better to have written "lying Likud *******" or, in truth, he should have found some fringe Israeli party that advocates die enloesung for Arabs and tossed that epithet at Mr. David. BUT .... Thirdly, even if Mr. Tueschen had done so, he would still have failed in his symmetry. That's because no Israeli political party, even the most extreme that would commit unspeakable crimes, has committed anything like the crimes of the Nazis. Actual criminality still trumps blabbing about it. Fourthly, given that symmetry simply was not possible in the expression offered by Mr. Tueschen, he should have contented himself by calling Mr. David "a lying *******," period. Having said the above, Rolf Tueschen's crime is not all that great in the give-and-take of polemics. He hit the nail a glancing blow. Turning to Roman Parparov. Mr. Parparov begins with a blood libel: "As a German you should have known what your nation willingly did to Jews." The accurate statement is "German government," not the "German ... nation." Hitler never received a majority of the vote in a free election, and even if he had, there would have been a very large minority despising everything the man and his movement stood for. When WWII began, there were no crowds in Berlin cheering the departing troops marching eastwards -- unlike the millions who shouted for war in mass demonstrations in all capitals on the eve of WWI. There is every reason to believe that this thing called a "German ... nation" found even the propaganda face of Nazism appalling, let alone the real face. If some Germans repented of an action that they deplored or had no part in, then they acted irrationally. They ought to have been condemning the actions of the Nazis, not repenting of them. Sin is not collective. The moment we start thinking that way, we open the door to collective punishment of the kind the Nazis meted out in Lidice or the Israeli government -- in a watered-down, less murderous way -- metes out to Palestinians on a daily basis. Finally, Mr. Parparov offers this bit of idiocy: "As for 'anti-Palestinian - prove any statement that was made by Israelis on this issue that hasn't been true so far." Wow! Here we have the statement of an Old World ideologue. The thinking behind this sentence is so far removed from the democratic understanding of political life that one does not know where to begin. We shall try. First, everyone here understands, as does Mr. Parparov himself, that even Israelis fail in omniscience. They must make false statements about Palestinians every single day in every single way. If not, then they are not merely the Chosen People, they are infallible gods. The same can be said about every one of us addressing any other people every single day in every single way. Secondly, if Mr. Parparov's statement is absurd in the literal sense, then what was he trying to say to us in the sense of political metaphor? If he is on the right-wing fringe of Israeli politics, then he is saying that Palestinians are fit for liquidation because even the strongest statements against them are ... true. If he is not on that fringe, then his statement could have many gradations of meaning, though all of them assume the right to punish a people collectively for the acts of some. Finally, what about a statement made by some Israeli in government that was palpably untrue about Palestinians? Mr. Parparov has asked for proof, and I can offer none. Still, the claim by the assassinated Israeli tourism minister that Palestinians are "cockroaches" strikes me as untrue in an anatomical sense. If Mr. Parparov argues that the statement is true in the metaphorical sense, then we are reminded of what the leftist literary critic Malcolm Cowley wrote in the 1930s about Stalin's victims. He was reviewing Robert Vogeler's Prisoner of the NKVD and admitted that the work carried the conviction of truth. But it was "the truth of the orchard sprayer as seen through the eyes of the wolly aphis and codling moth." Cockroaches, like aphae and moths, are fit for ... spraying. Whether it be with Zyklon or some other substance is irrelevant so long as the job gets done. Right? |

TUESCHEN LOSES KENNEDY
By Larry Parr In an exchange with Greg Kennedy (nomorechess) Rolf Tueschen wrote, "That I did it as a foreigner and not native English speaker was a sensation IMO, having in mind Larry's outstanding lingual mastership that already took the life out of many guys here around." "Took the life out of many guys here around." Heh, heh, heh! Mr. Tueschen has just lost the zombified Mr. Kennedy. |

But his lies go so far that he for example calls a late German politician, a former Vice Chancellor of Germany, Juergen W. Moellemann from Muenster, a "Nazi *******"! Labeling someone a Nazi is nothing to be taken lightly. One had better be right, damn right, or one is spitting on the graves of those millions who died at the hands of those butchers. Those were real Nazis. To call some lightweight offender (or even non-offender) a Nazi is to dilute that terrible evil. This, by the way, is what that ancient bigot Bibuld does in each of his posts, labeling Bush a Nazi. Bibuld is despicable, a person of very low character. Not a Nazi, just a bottom feeder. |

"Elijah" wrote in message ... "what would you expect from an Israeli?" and "Jewish propaganda" are two phrases that hopefully do not show your best side. Calling someone a "lying Jewish *******" is offensive to Jews because it uses two derogatory words "lying" and "*******" with a neutral word "Jewish." Almost any neutral word that is inserted between "lying" and "*******" becomes an insult, such as "lying German *******" "lying Irish *******" "lying Italian *******" or "lying Hindu *******." Next time simply call him "a lying *******" and you'll see better results. Hmmm, so now there is a politically correct way to insult someone! |

"Rolf Tueschen" wrote in message ... I want to know how you judge this. In a private forum a Jewish chess programmer (Omid David) always writes hate propaganda pro Israel and against Arafat and his Palestinians. Nothing wrong with that IMO, what would you expect from an Israeli? But his lies go so far that he for example calls a late German politician, a former Vice Chancellor of Germany, Juergen W. Moellemann from Muenster, a "Nazi *******"! When I read it I couldn't believe my eyes. Moellemann well criticised the policy of Sharon but he never was a whatever Nazi! Nor a Neo-Nazi. Nor an anti-Semite. So, when I read that Nazi-******* insult (Jewish Propaganda) I tried to teach the guy a lesson from psychology. I turned around the insult and directed it against himself. I called Omid David, the brave Israeli, a Jewish ******* and because he had spread lies about an honest German politician, who is dead BTW, I added the adjective "lying", so that the whole expression was 'lying Jewish *******'. After this hell broke lose. I was defamed as an Anti-Semite. What do you, from the international community, think about the expression? Is it impossible to characterize a Jew who's lying as a lying *******? Just because I am a German I should not be allowed to speak the truth? And if someone speaks the truth about a Jewish liar, is he therefore an Anti-Semite??? Not that i needed advice. I am old enough to know how to deal with a liar. But I would be interested in your opinion how you think about a German who calls a Jewish liar a 'lying Jewish *******'. Is it forbidden because of the Holocaust? Rolf Rolf, A number of years ago, back around the time of the Gulf War, William F. Buckley wrote an article dealing with this subject. He concluded, correctly I think, that because of certain group histories, words that might be considered neutral when applied to one group have quite a different meaning when applied to another group. I think the way he put it was that you can say things about Episcopalians that you just can't say about Jews. To illustrate this with a personal example, I have a friend who was born in a displaced persons camp (or D.P. setting) in Belgium shortly after the end of WWII. He entered the US as an infant, and has spent his whole life in the U.S. On occasion I would kid him about not being a real American, of just being a "damn Belge" trying to pass. To the extent that there is any, admittedly minimal, humor in this, it is that it is essentially impossible in American culture to insult someone from Belgium on the basis of ancestry or group identity. The same sort of "humor" directed towards an American of Japanese ancestry would be another matter altogether, given the history of the treatment of Japanese within the U.S. Thus, same words, very different meaning. I don't think that it is mere political correctness that should guide one's speech in this regard. Now when David referred to a German as a "Nazi," he should have been aware that it is quite a different matter to call a German a Nazi, than it would be, for example, for an American of a liberal political orientation to call a conservative American a "Nazi." In the latter case, it would be most likely be understood as slightly overheated rhetoric in an effort to make a point about political differences. In the case to which you refer, the nature of the attack comes off as quite different, being more personal and venomous, and suggestive of moral depravity. It could well be that David meant it in that more poisonous, and I suspect it is that latter connotation you picked up on when you responded as you did. By the same token, because of history, as well as the fact that you are German and the target of your remarks is an Israeli, your response to David as a "lying Jewish *******" evokes in listeners quite a different sense of what your meaning is than if you had addressed a poster from Oslo as a "lying Norwegian *******." The latter sounds merely odd, at least to my ears. So I don't think the criticism of you in that group was unfair. Finally, I fail to understand how you could think your response to the Israeli showed any sort of psychological sophisitication. Sounds like mere name-calling to me. Bob Musicant |

This bit about *assumming* that, because Mr. Tueschen is German, he must therefore be a Nazi (especially since he is criticizing a Jew) is, at best, quite strange. I for one, made no such leap-of-illogic. When I picture the tattered remnants of the Nazi party, I think of Uhhhmurikkka. When I think of quality automobiles, I think of Germany. Finally, I fail to understand how you could think your response to the Israeli showed any sort of psychological sophisitication. Sounds like mere name-calling to me. Mr. Tueschen has a long history of proclaiming psychological sophistication, and psychological motives for having written things in a particular way. We might speculate that he does this (always after-the-fact) in order to justify or excuse something which others perceive as being amiss; but we could also just take him at his word, for who knows better *why* Mr. Tueschen writes what he writes, than Dr. Graue himself? (whoops) So I don't think the criticism of you in that group was unfair. Mr. Tuschen pointed out some "facts" which seemed to clearly indicate that his target was both a liar and a propagandist, though no supportting evidence was given of the third charge. In view of this, you think it is "fair" for them to kill the messenger? Mr. Tueschen is automatically a Nazi because he inserted the word "*******," in an attempt to equalize the negative connotation associated with the term "Nazi"? On the contrary, this action is evidence that Mr. Tuschen felt the need to *insert* something nasty, to go along with "Jewish" and "liar", in order to compensate. A true Nazi would have felt that the term "Jewish" alone, was more than sufficient -- trumping "liar" by a wide margin. |

... . This bit about *assumming* that, because Mr. Tueschen is German, he must therefore be a Nazi (especially since he is criticizing a Jew) is, at best, quite strange. I re-read what I wrote, and can't find anything in it that could fairly be construed as an allegation that Rolf is a Nazi, either in a figurative or literal sense. That most certainly was not my intended meaning. Mr. Tueschen has a long history of proclaiming psychological sophistication, and psychological motives for having written things in a particular way. We might speculate that he does this (always after-the-fact) in order to justify or excuse something which others perceive as being amiss; but we could also just take him at his word, for who knows better *why* Mr. Tueschen writes what he writes, than Dr. Graue himself? (whoops) I gather that by profession he is in fact something in the nature of what in the U.S. might be called a psychotherapist, a term which may be used by licensed clinical social workers or M.S.W.s. (or anyone else for that matter, as its use, at least in some states, is unregulated). |

I re-read what I wrote, and can't find anything in it that could fairly be construed as an allegation that Rolf is a Nazi, either in a figurative or literal sense. That may be because the reference to the term "Nazi" was contained, not in the post by Mr. Musicant, but in Mr. Tuschen's own post. Mr. Tuschen is the one who proclaimed that he had been branded a "Nazi", after criticizing a Jewish propagandist/liar. Thus, putting this together with a statement that that such a (counter)attack on Mr. Tuschen was *not* unfair, we might conclude something along these lines. Not a name-calling exactly, but a kind of "endorsement" of one. In fact, immediately after Mr. Tuschen posted, asking for feedback, he was criticized for needlessly inserting the word "Jewish" -- as if he were a Nazi. I alone have taken him to task for the completely unsubstantiated "*******" accusation, which came from out of thin air -- unlike the terms "Jewish" and "liar." I gather that by profession he is in fact something in the nature of what in the U.S. might be called a psychotherapist, More like an amatuer pseudo-psychologist, who analyzes from a distance. I doubt that Mr. Tuschen deceives himself into thinking his efforts have any theraputic effect. Again, the Larry Parr "case" leaps to mind: repeated "counseling" by Mr. Tueschen, with zero beneficial effect. The same with the Bob Hyatt "case." :-) |
