New in PJ Media:
“Imagine my surprise,” writes left-of-Stalin-himself “comedian” Larry David in a New York Times op-ed Monday, “when in the spring of 1939 a letter arrived at my house inviting me to dinner at the Old Chancellery with the world’s most reviled man, Adolf Hitler.”
Although Larry has looked about 105 years old for the last couple of decades and could be even older, he wasn’t actually reporting on something that happened to him. He was mocking and indirectly excoriating his fellow leftist Bill Maher for meeting Trump and speaking honestly about the meeting, telling the world that Trump really wasn’t the evil monster of leftist propaganda.
Yeah, wow, what an amazing new comedic idea: Trump is Hitler! Larry, how did you ever come up with this fantastic analogy that no one on planet Earth has ever thought of before? As PJM’s own Scott Pinsker put it, Larry David’s op-ed was “astonishingly tone-deaf” as “became the 500 millionth member of the left to think it’s clever, witty, and daring to compare President Trump to Adolf Hitler.” Scott called it (correctly) the “dopiest, sleaziest NYT op-ed in years.”
It could, in fact, be the dopiest, sleaziest, most tone-deaf New York Times article of any kind since July 9, 1933, just over five months after Hitler became the chancellor of Germany, and years after his virulent antisemitism and propensity for violence had become notorious worldwide. On that day, the New York Times published a fawning puff piece on Hitler that rivals even today’s media adulation of Kamala Harris during her campaign and of Old Joe Biden during his presidency. It bears more than a little resemblance to Larry David’s imaginary dinner with Hitler, but it is all too real.
Pulitzer Prize-winning “journalist” Anne O’Hare McCormick traveled to Berlin to become the first reporter from an American news outlet to interview the new chancellor, and she turned out to be an intriguing choice for the Times editors to make to conduct this interview, for she appears to have been something of a Hitler fan. In the presence of this man whose name has become today synonymous with evil, she was decidedly starry-eyed: “At first sight,” McCormick gushed, “the dictator of Germany seems a rather shy and simple man, younger than one expects, more robust, taller. His sun-browned face is full and is the mobile face of an orator. A shock of straight hair falls over his forehead.”
Oh, brother. And as if that weren’t enough, she continues like a smitten schoolgirl. Oh, the Führer’s eyes! “His eyes,” she told the world, “are almost the color of the blue larkspur in a vase behind him, curiously childlike and candid. He appears untired and unworried. His voice is as quiet as his black tie and his double-breasted black suit.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

What do you call 500 Million “dopes” on the left? A very conservative estimate. I think some leftists are so dopey they should be counted twice and Larry David at least four times.
When I watched his show, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” he once introduced his cousin Andy (played by Richard Kind) the primary reason for antisemitism. Wrong Larry, you and you leftist ilk are the primary reason for antisemitism in the United States.

The New York Evening Post painted an accurate picture of Hitler and his actions towards the Jews, and so did the Chicago Tribune. But, the NYT and virtually every other paper in the country was a sounding board for FDR’s position to ignore Hitler’s adverse actions towards the Jews. FDR’s White House monitored every newspaper in the country, and it even went so far as to convince the press to suppress criticism of Hitler that would negatively affect US economic interests with respect to Germany. As such, the plight of German Jews was dropped from the media, and FDR used the lack of such news coverage to deem this issue as unimportant. This was a self-feeding cycle. The press reported on issues important to the administration, and the administration did not see issues as important if they were not reported on in the press.
So, McCormick was just one of many journalists with a pro-Hitler stance at that time. Her fame on this issue was the direct result of being the first US journalist to snag an interview with Hitler.

Jerry Seinfeld, having been burned by the woke mob, is more sane on this issue than Larry David. Even if he hasn’t taken any overt political stances
Captain Smirk says
Well, ever since president Dump has said ‘They kiss(ed?) my ass’, it felt as if he took a dump on them. It doesn’t become him. He’s a low-life. I accept his tariffs, however, because they make sense in the long run, and his fight with the left and woke and gender b.s., but for the remainder I wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole.

Get bent you miserable Marxist POS! You’re not fooling anybody!
Rarely says
Only 100% acceptance and support for whatever Trump says or does is acceptable to Trump supporters even if it is the absolute reverse of what Trump said or did the day before. If one doesn’t give that 100% support or (heaven forbid) actually criticizes Trump in any way that person is “a miserable Marxist POS”. Not a very promising debate style.
WPM says
Right so you Rarely agree with Larry Davis that because Trump is grumpy ,and egotistical he is just like Hitler ? After getting haul into court and chased by stupid lawsuits for the last 10 years Trump should just play nice with the MSM and celebrities’ because they defame and slander him to this day .He should not needle them back ,belittle them on line .How “dare” he say to these fine people kiss my ass!! Calling someone a rapist over three decades after it was suppose to happen in the middle of the day in a large department store ,the woman accusing him cannot name the day or even pin down the year it happen. The BS “Russian conclusion” hoax ,the BS over valued property collaterally loan law suit .The stupid non-disclosure suit over Stormy Daniella’s star witnesses Cohen a lawyer who admitted stealing for his employer (Trump) and going to jail for perjury .Yes Trump is is very egotistical ,pig headed ,but can you blame him if he demeans these people on line ,in front of the press ?He is not jailing these people or using the IG to gin up fake lawsuits ,or using the IRS against them. Trump has the gall to run and win an election after all this that make him a Hitler to the left .He is not killing millions ,or setting up camps for unruly citizens or locking people up for “hate speech” on ;line , or invading your country Canada ,he is Hitler because of Tariffs on Canada ? .He is Hitler because he wants other NATO nations to pay their fare share of the bill to run NATO. He is Hitler because he wants to broker a peace deal between Russia and the Ukraine and not have a forever war. He is truly Hitler ,America should keep taking in millions of unvetted “refugees” from around the world if we have a leader who refuses to do that he is Hitler. How dare he deport illegal aliens who are gang members out of the country ,he according to the democrats is Hitler .After the Canada’s election if Carney gets in you will have an extra “friendly” prime minister to China who thinks China will be Canadians best friend for life .I guess we in America will have Orange Hitler ,you in the frozenly north will have a three passport carrying (Ireland ,England ,Canadian) mush mouth who will keep and the expand Trudeaus’ .dream of doubling or tripling population thru third world immigration to Canada ..MAID (medical asserted dying ) I am sure will be expanded to help the native Canadians to get out of the way for the new comers. According to Trudeau there is” no true Canadian culture to be proud of” if you elect Carney you will get more of the tripe you have been getting for the last 10 years.

Right, b’cos disagreeing w/ calling him “Dump” or kissing his ass means that Pacosmojo demands 100% acceptance & support
Gottit

Is it just my imagination or does Larry David actually “look” like a classic leftist?
Must be something about his countenance…
tgusa says
Larry pretty much has the same hair doo he had back in the 70s but in the time since three quarters of it has fallen out which just makes him look weird.

For more expose on the NYT, one would do well to read, The Gray Lady Winked: How the New York Times’s Misreporting, Distortions and Fabrications Radically Alter History, by Ashley Rindsberg. Quoting from the book description on Amazon.com, “How its World War II Berlin bureau chief, a known Nazi collaborator, skewed coverage in favor of the Third Reich for over a decade.”

Larry David Mocks Trump As Hitler in the New York Times Now, but the Paper Fawned Over Adolf in 1933
……………………………………..
D’oh!
I have been disgusted with Larry David for some time. He got Salman Rushdie to come on his show a few years ago when he was saying how great it was to run afoul of Jihad terrorists, bcause this supposedly makes you a chick magnet. I don’t know if he ever addrssed Rushdie losing an eye and being almost stabbed to death a few years later…

These Trump is Hitler people are unwell. The linked article states that Hitler was responsible for 11 million deaths but in reality it was a lot more. There were an estimated 40 million in Europe alone.
https://www.southwestjournal.com/world/human-cost-of-wwii-a-breakdown-of-military-and-civilian-deaths/
The whole terrible thing cost 70 to 85 million deaths worldwide but the actual figures could never be pinpointed. Not only are these Trump is Hitler people unwell but they are also far beyond insufferable. What kind of ghouls make jokes about 70 to 85 million deaths? Lunatic Democrats.

My “Enthusiasm” has been “Curbed” for some time now. Bob is right: read The Gray Lady Winked. I have given copies to a number of my liberal friends; none have read it. As Frank Zappa reported to have said: “A little stupidity is kind of cute, but ignorance is just unacceptable.”
