I may be wrong about this but i think what Epstein is trying to say is that if you know that I am Jewish, you assumed that my complaint against Tom's use of Goebbels was based on anti-semitism. Goebbels was the nazi propagandist and Toms actual implication was that the Bush team was using the same playbook as Goebbels. Nothing to do with anti-semitism just the accusation of the Big Lie technique against our leaders. That is what offended me and others. Mike

You want a five pages essay on his last night, minute by minute, dogs included ? No. I never write horror stories.

> Hmm, I guess I do not know enough about Goebbels to appreciate this point. I don't see all this interpretation and innuendos these guys are claiming either. Joseph Goebbels was a master propagandist. To say that he would have been proud of the performance of propaganda here, has no relationship to comparison of Nazis and this administration. It is simply a matter of one master of trade appreciating the workmanship of the other. jmo, ST PS Here is one of my favorite quotes from him, "The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly...it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over."
