SAN FRANCISCO - In a bizarre attack, a well-known author and Holocaust scholar was dragged out of a San Francisco hotel elevator by an apparent Holocaust denier who reportedly had been trailing him for weeks.

 

Police escorted Elie Wiesel to San Francisco International Airport on Feb. 1 after a man accosted Wiesel in the elevator at the Argent Hotel[] after Wiesel participated in a panel discussion at a peace conference.

 

Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor and author of more than 40 books, including the memoir "Night," about his experiences at Auschwitz, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986...

The attacker should be put in an oven.

It's one thing to be an idiot and ignore all historical, forensic, and personal evidence to deny the Holocaust, but at least do it in a peaceful manner.

 

It's just like when the Pope fucked up and referenced a medieval dialogue in which it sounded as if he claimed that the Islamic religion is a violent one... and then Muslims retaliated by burning churches, killing nuns, and generally protesting with violence.

 

What's wrong with these fucking people?

C'mon guys. I've got a bachelor's degree in history, and I can tell you that a regular part of my research is delivering fierce beatings to those with differing opinions. It's all part of the job.

Or at least gassed.

The Bride in Kill Bill was loosely based on Doris Kearns Goodwin.

Well this is odd. Usually holocaust deniers get by with their bullshit arguments by being well-mannered and calm.

All this guy was trying to do was finish the job that never actually took place.

I wonder if in court he'll deny the attack as well?

It's all part of the international Zionist conspiracy, you know.

You know, if Mike were here, this would be a very interesting discussion.

 

That said, I don't miss the bastard at all.

 

Has the attacker been caught?

"Nope, I'm still at large."
