I dunno. I am not terribly optimistic that the Iranians, or their Arab neighbors, are ever going to have a great deal of sympathy for the Jews.

No, they will always hate Jews, but that's not the point. By ignoring him and pretending he is irrelevant only makes him more popular with his people (who are not to fond of him anyway).

Yeah, we should sit him down for a screening of Schindler's List.

Thats a good idea.

We need to engage in this discussion and not ignore it (as stupid as it is) because if we don't, the people of Iran will just say "see, Mahmoud is right".

Dealing with Iran is like dealing with a bunch of 12 year old boys. Yes his statements are ridiculous - but yet he is still the leader of 70 million people. Look at how uneducated we Americans are - maybe he really doesn't know the true history of what happened during WWII. Mahmoud attended "The Iran University of Science and Technology" not Oxford.

I would define my outrage as strategic, thanks, and coming from a member of the human race. I can't believe that any person of good will would challenge the facticity of the Holocaust - they're either evil or crazy - and to say that the Jews are the only people who protest Holocaust denials is just plain wrong.

Bravo - Beautiful technique.

i'm sure he'll believe the evidence us Americans give him too.

 

let it go Darkstar

I'm not holding on to anything.

What is wrong with you kids today?

Please explain why the existence of the holocaust should be called into question.

I'm not questioning it at all. But he is - so instead of just stomping on discussion/debate, ingage this idiot and educate him on the subject.

You're making sure of that.

How's that - you don't know me or my beliefs regarding this matter.

I think he's trying to rehash a discussion that should have happened 50 years ago.

"tactical outrage"/"hypersensitivity" is what Aricandover just participated in by saying "there's nothing to discuss. The matter shouldn't even be up for debate." Before this thread dies I'm sure someone will call me antisemitic.

You can't have a battle of wits with an unarmed person. (ie: his little "seminar" on how the Holocaust was a hoax.)

I think the point is that this subject can't even be discussed in the US because of tactical outrage from jewish groups.

He claims to be an academic - So lets get some of our academics out there countering some of the crap he says.

At least he has the balls to come here and say what he believes. He should also be allowed to visit ground zero.

I love the poster.

Is it possible that someone who attends MIT is dumb enough to not know that she was stirring trouble?

That was my first thought.

You're fucking kidding, right? She wore a device on her shirt that was meant to look like a bomb TO PICK UP HER FRIEND AT THE AIRPORT.

Huh?

Yea - This was a great tour - I didn't see him out West but saw Jeff in Lincoln NE at the end of the tour. Wasn't there a UIC show or something that was recorded?

Tasers should be illegal - Maybe someone should use public records and FOIA to consolidate a public database of all police officers, addresses, family members, Salary, performance reviews, etc. Let's make sure America knows everything about theses "Public" servants who we so desperately rely on for our safety.

I am still waiting on a nice cheap used copy of this one to cross my path....\

Cheapskate Whatever happened to "cut-out" bins?

I just started listening to this album, and I'm really enjoying what I've heard so far.

Well "Gob Iron" is Brit slang for Harmonica - But that doesn't look like a harp to me. Is it some kind of microphone? Weird....

Can someone please identify what the hell is that on the cover?

Thanks - It's kinda driving me nuts.

Great set for our friends down south!

They need to stick with Kingpin for audience participation, especially at a Chicago show - not Spiders. The song started and everyone headed to the can.

Bet ya ten bucks he left early.

Totally...To hit Millers for some ribs.

Was anybody else able to score posters?? I was surprised on how quicky they sold-out, they were long gone well before Dr. Dog was even done. Luckily I was able to snag the last one off wall at one of the merch stands in the back after the ones on the side had already sold-out. Very cool poster design though, easily one of my favories I own out of my Wilco collection. Bought a Wilco Millennium Park t-shirt too, also pretty neat, dyed red shirt with a sketched image of the Chicago flag. On the bottom has venue, date and benefit ect.

We got two magnets of the poster when we got in. Initially I wasn't going to get a poster but eventually did buy one because I knew I would regret it. As with all my Wilco posters, it will be matted/framed and proudly hung in my media room.
