Oliver Stone - Asshat

This moran still defends the fictions of his JFK film like they were facts, so it's no wonder he just stepped in a big pile of doo-doo on the Holocaust.

Oliver Stone steps in it with Holocaust, media conspiracy remarks
July 26, 2010 | 7:53 pm

Has Oliver Stone not been paying any attention to Mel Gibson's years-long watch-your-mouth drama?

If nothing else, Stone may have learned Monday that just because you speak behind a paid-content wall, it doesn't mean the world can't hear you. Especially if your comments skew anti-Semitic -- a topic known to fuel the political fire.

Sitting down with the Sunday Times of London in an interview to promote his new documentary "South of the Border," Hollywood's master of conspiracy theories lobbed another one out there about the depiction of the Holocaust -- though in a statement Monday he backtracked on what he'd said and apologized.

After remarking in the interview that “Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30 ,” Stone went into conspiracy mode with the assertion that "Jewish domination of the media" in the U.S. was to blame for Holocaust deaths getting a bigger spotlight than the millions of deaths that occurred in Russia in World War II.

The rest of the quote suggested that, in addition, U.S. foreign policy in general had been messed up by Jews both foreign and domestic: “There’s a major lobby in the United States," Stone said. "They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has up United States foreign policy for years.”

Stone responded Monday with a statement: "In trying to make a broader historical point about the range of atrocities the Germans committed against many people, I made a clumsy association about the Holocaust, for which I am sorry and I regret. Jews obviously do not control media or any other industry. The fact ...
... that the Holocaust is still a very important, vivid and current matter today is, in fact, a great credit to the very hard work of a broad coalition of people committed to the remembrance of this atrocity -- and it was an atrocity."

Are "They" listening right now?

:boring:

Well if you know the facts, please do share. I was hoping one would rise and let the antiseptic daylight touch this worm hole.

Stone did a lot to awaken people to the BS they spewed. Whose pile of poop is higher? Do we care who killed out President, or shall we move along and see the nothing that we're allowed to see?

Do you remember the opening clip of his film?

As far as Stone's film, it has the distinction of weaving together CONTRADICTORY CT's coupled with absolute fictions to make its "point."

I know you won't bother, but you can read all about the "artistic license" Stone took here: http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/jfkmovie.htm

BTW - you do know that Stone called his film " an alternative myth to compete with the official myth" of the JFK killing, do you not? The man himself called it a myth, yet you think it's an accurate portrayal of history.

Amazing.

The "Get a brain morans" one.

I don't have the picture to post, maybe someone else will oblige.

I'm just saying.

What's it been? 8 years or so of morans?

:bounce:

Now where's my godd*%$# Fuc*&ing blowjob! I Fu*&king deserve a fu*king blowjob RIGHT FUC*ING NOW GOD FUC*KING DAMMIT!!!!!!

:D

but they have the common decency to keep it to themselves.

With his film, "JFK," Oliver Stone stood up to the powers-that-be, practically alone. The nation's corporate media were unified in opposition to him:



As a private citizen, I have grown to understand the vital roles the news media, modern communications and public relations play in advancing democracy. That is why I appreciate Oliver Stone. He was willing to create a "counter-myth" to the Big Lie that is the Warren Commission report. For that, the nation's "mainstream press" vilified him and continue to smear his name. Remember, the owners of the corporate press are the same gang of liars who sold America the idea that Saddam had WMDs ready to attack and had somehow supported 9-11 and that invading and occupying Afghanistan for a decade made strategic sense.

PS: Stone said he was wrong when he made a comparison between The Holocaust and what the Soviets endured in World War II and apologized. Based on his works and public statements, I believe, in his heart, Stone considers every death in war a tragedy of infinite proportion.

and Stone isn't the only one who's been intimidated.

There are Philp Agee types, and Eugene Haussenfus (sp?) stories that must be aching to be told. Stone, and those of his ilk, are the only ones brave enough to recount these kinds of stories. Odd that the Democratic party is not to be ridiculed here, but it's popular sentiment that Stone is an asshat?

this does not help.

:shrug:

and is compelling as hell

watch JFK with the Director's Commentary and it's clear that these are speculations on his part. He concedes he doesn't know if it happened like in the movie. He discusses his evidence at length and makes no misrepresentations about it.

I accept his apology about the Holocaust comments. Others may not.
