Wow! Try to be helpful…

I’m quickly learning the futility of that approach.

His name is Ubele? Really? The German word for “evil” is “Ã?bel”; this is about as subtle a name as Cruella DeVille.

thinkoplex #7:

Why do we need a warning? Or for that matter, succumb to “temptation?” The film is integral to the story and the blog post. It is also historically significant.

The WNTube copy was the first link on Google (using alternate spelling “Jud Suss”) and after ten minutes review found the quality acceptable, subtitled in English and full length. It was therefore found suitable.

As far as WNTube itself? I’m not familiar with the site nor need be. We take our examples where we find them. If you have an alternate link to this content located at a less controversial site then by all means post it.

Just a warning to anyone tempted to click on the link to the film provided by Bill James in post #2: WNTube is a project of the white supremacist group Storm Front. Just a Google search for “WNTube” brings up enough sublinks to sicken a normal person.

Wikipedia.de
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jud_SÃ¼Ã?_(Film)
has an article on this film. The actor (Ferdinand Marian) who played the role of Oppenheimer, attempted to sabotage the purpose of this film by making his character more sympathetic; “WÃ¤hrend der Dreharbeiten soll Marian teilweise versucht haben, die Absicht des Films zu â??sabotierenâ??, indem er Oppenheimer einnehmend dargestellt habe. Das sei der Grund dafÃ¼r gewesen, dass der Film Marian trotz seiner Darstellung eines Juden bei der deutschen BevÃ¶lkerung noch beliebter gemacht habe, was stehende Ovationen fÃ¼r Marian bei vielen AuffÃ¼hrungen und zahlreiche Liebesbriefe an den Schauspieler belegen”. (During the filming, Marian partly attempted to “sabotage” the film’s intention, by portraying Oppenheimer as likeable. That was the reason why Marian became more popular in the German population in spite of his portrayal as a Jew, demonstrated by standing ovations for Marian during many showings and the many love letters to Marian).
At least this film was nowhere as bad as “der ewige Jude”, which is banned for all time in Germany. “Jude SÃ¼Ã?” is allowed to be shown in Austria and Switzerland, and in closed sessions in Germany.

Wow! Don’t the governor’s aides ever read any mail they get, before they reply to it? If they don’t, they’d better start now. No official can afford these days, to be tarred with a “racial” brush.

Jonnie: I’m sure your analysis is exactly correct. I still want the Republican Intern fired.

Unless the Republicans stop demanding Obama’s birth certificate. Then we can talk.
