Dear Ted,
Originally when I knew I would be writing you this letter, my intention was to go after you in a way I have not done since Russell Brand. However, in the name of responsibility I first delved a little deeper and realized that although your post is wildly irresponsible and insane beyond reason, your claim to actually like the Jewish people and hate Nazis will hold me back slightly. Nevertheless for the damage you’ve done, it really needs to be addressed.
Ted, Ted, Ted. You say that your father killed Nazis. Well for starters I don’t think your post would make him very proud. The great soldiers and resistance fighters who battled against one of the greatest evils this planet has ever known would not take this comparison lightly. Comparing Jewish leaders whose stance on guns is different from yours to Nazis is not only irresponsible, it comes off as extremely anti-Semitic. Now as I started saying in the beginning of this letter, I don’t believe you to be a total Jew-hater. For the most part, people who hate the Jewish people are quite proud of it and certainly don’t make a point of disputing the assertion. That being said, we don’t need you or anyone else helping those who hate us already hate us even more, and we don’t need anyone providing them with the ammunition your post gives them. Is your vision so distorted that you don’t see the harm this does?
Furthermore, it is critical that you and everyone else with the same misguided stance understand what the Nazis were and what heinous acts they committed. They murdered millions of people including 6 million Jewish men, women and children. They openly stated the need for a solution to what they referred to as the “Jewish problem”. From the very beginning Hitler attempted to dehumanize the Jewish people. To post the pictures of Jews, with Stars of David in each box, and to say that these people are the ones out to destroy our freedom and to call them “Nazis in disguise” is so far out of the realm of normal I am almost at a loss for words. In one swoop you managed to make an argument for ultra-liberals and ultra-conservatives to hate Jews. The ultra-liberal will say that this is an example of Jewish people helping to strengthen the rise of fascism, and the ultra-conservative will say this is an example of how Jewish liberals are destroying the country. Either way this becomes the Jews’ fault. You claim to be a friend Ted? Frankly, with friends like you, who needs enemies?
I appreciate your hatred for Nazis and therefore stop short of saying the things I would say to someone I believe wants to finish off what Hitler started, but I want, no I pray that you look at what you are doing and the awful impact these types of actions can have on a somewhat fragile society. I personally am someone who shifted from far left to very centered on the gun issue over the years, but no one can ever accuse me of having been a “Nazi in disguise” when I believed in the total abolition of guns for the average citizen. I am not a better Jew nor a better American now because I’ve shifted so far to the right that I understand the need for citizens to own guns, and I, as do many others, take offense to the viewpoint that those who still oppose guns on the strongest level can be compared to supporters of a government that legalized mass murder.
So Ted, in the name of all that is decent I urge you to reassess your stance on this matter and understand that if your motives are indeed pure, these actions have the reverse effect. All you are really doing in a post like this is spewing venom that poisons the very fabric of our civilized society, and if you are sincere about your desire for freedom and justice, you will look at this carefully and know this to be true.
Sincerely,
David Groen
