Everything Victor Davis Hanson points out here is true. But I think he should have been even stronger in condemning this neo-Nazi Cooper. Instead, he describes him as holding a legitimate point of view although he is wrong about the facts. I don’t think any claim that the Holocaust didn’t happen and that Hitler wasn’t a completely bad guy, and that Chruchjill not Nazi Germany was to blame for World War II, should be granted legitimacy, even as an opinion. Only someone who supports Nazi objectives and wants to complete what Hitler started can hold such a point of view.
Tucker Carlson seems to have in mind to expose Americans to a variety of viewpoints. He does not have to espouse any or all of the viewpoints to air them.
Thank you for posting Victor Davis Hanson’s response to Darryl Cooper’s many historical misconceptions.
The internet being fairly free for the airing of many viewpoints at this point, it is clear that there is a virtual cottage industry of revisionist “historians” who claim their version of history is the truth, using non-primary source evidence. For example, we know the media are biased and using media clippings without discussing the particular news corporation’s bias, is not top tier evidence on which to base any claim.
I have read several biographies of Winston Churchill. Despite this, I do not claim to know everything about Winston Churchill’s motives or reasons for his actions. He was a complex man with strengths and weaknesses.
At some points in his life he was heroic,(such as being there for the people of London during the Blitz, being there for the people of England when England WAS ALL ALONE against the Nazis; but there were also points in his life in which he failed in his mission such as the Gallipoli Campaign, and there were other failures as well.
When he was a young teenager he told a friend of the family, “When I grow up, at some point England will be in a very difficult position, and I will save her.”
Many young men dream of saving a woman in distress, or even dream of saving their countries. This man didn’t just dream it, he made it come true.
Even so, while being a powerful figure in the lives of the British and the Americans, during World War II, he still was a man, with his many personal flaws and weaknesses. Good historians have no agenda other than objectivity.
