Another Angle ...

... on the memory hole:

Stalin was reportedly fond of a certain saying: "There is a man, there is a problem. No man, no problem." The left, to save the history it wants to embrace, has removed Stalin from it. Despite countless testimonials from Louis Aragon, Lillian Hellman, Pablo Neruda, Jean-Paul Sartre, and others, he wasn’t really of the left, it turns out; he was merely an "aberration." No Stalin, no problem. [Emphasis added.]

Whenever I think of Hitler, it's hard to forget good ole Unca Joe. What's a few tens of millions dead between friends after all? We'll just hush it all up -- shhhhhh now. BUT SCREAM VISCERAL HATRED AT THEM IF THEY TRY TO SAY A BAD WORD ABOUT HIM!
