Here is last Friday's (1/22/10) special from the Glenn Beck Show. The whole thing is well worth watching as it explodes numerous historical myths. It begins by documenting the fact that the Nazi's were philosophically and historically part of the left. It then continues by discussing several Communist genocides of the twentieth century. Although because of time limitations, Beck is only able to skim the surface of Leftist crimes.
Part 1 of 7, watch the whole thing.
Update: Maybe this is why the Left has such a strong affinity for Islamic Jihad in all its forms:
Malaysia’s former premier Mahathir Mohamad said on Wednesday there was "strong evidence” the US faked the September 11 terror attacks as an excuse to go to war against Muslims.
The former premier also blamed Jews for hindering progress in US foreign policy. Voicing his disappointment that Barack Obama had not yet ended the war in Afghanistan or closed the US terror detention center at Guantanamo, he explained that “there are forces in the United States which prevent the president from doing some things. One of the forces is the Jewish lobby.”
Jews “had always been a problem in European countries. They had to be confined to ghettoes and periodically massacred. But still they remained, they thrived and they held whole governments to ransom," Mahathir said.
"Even after their massacre by the Nazis of Germany, they survived to continue to be a source of even greater problems for the world."
I guess this is an example of a "moderate" Moslem leader of a "moderate" Moslem country. Don't hold your breath for an outburst of outrage from Moslems throughout the world. They save that for "disrespectful" teddy bears and cartoons.

From Robert Spencer at Front Page Magazine: The former prime minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, recently asserted that Jews in Europe had “always been a problem.” He claimed that “they had to be confined to ghettos and periodically...
