There is not much to say. In 1991, I believed Oliver Stone was taking a stand, exposing the dark-side, giving us the truth (albeit his version). His JFK sent him into the Hollywood wilderness for several years, and when he came back he was roaring to go - and expose the darkest secrets and darkest moments of America ... all out of context. He wanted to show Cuba, Russia, Venezuela and every other anti-American state as the troubled and beleaguered hero standing against the goliath US.
I respected Oliver Stone in 1991. Today I will never watch anything this man produces or has involvement in, again. His time in the 'wilderness' exposed him to some serious shit and whatever it was, I am very confident it was delusions of idiocy. He is pathetic and that does not mean the Jewish lobby is not powerful, rather, taking that bit and extrapolating to where you suggest Hitler was misunderstood (same with Stalin) ... pathetic. That numbers alone determine how evil one is. If that is the case, he should show Pol Pot as a hero of some sort - only 2 million dead. On the other hand, Mao did 50-80 million - he should be a real evil-doer. Numbers alone. Pathetic.
Oliver Stone: 'Jewish-Dominated Media' Prevents Hitler from Being Portrayed 'in Context'

Director Oliver Stone belittled the Holocaust during a shocking interview with the Sunday Times today, claiming that America's focus on the Jewish massacre was a product of the "Jewish domination of the media."
The director also defended Hitler and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and railed against the "powerful lobby" of Jews in America.
Stone said that his upcoming Showtime documentary series "Secret History of America," seeks to put Hitler and Communist dictator Joseph Stalin "in context."
"Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support," Stone told reporter Camilla Long during the interview, which can be found behind the paywall on the Sunday Times' website.
Stone said that, "Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30 [million killed]."
The Sunday Times interviewer then asked why there was such a focus on the Holocaust.
"The Jewish domination of the media," responded Stone. "There's a major lobby in the United States. They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f***** up United States foreign policy for years."
The director, who recently met with Iranian President Ahmadinejad, also slammed the U.S. policy toward Iran as "horrible."
"Iran isn't necessarily the good guy," said Stone. "[B]ut we don't know the full story!"
The Scarface screenwriter had even more encouraging words for socialist Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, who Stone called "a brave, blunt, earthy" man. The director has recently been promoting his Chavez-praising documentary called "South of the Border."
When the interviewer pointed out that Chavez has had a less-than-stellar record on human rights, Stone immediately dismissed the criticism.
"The internet's fully free [in Venezuela]," said Stone. "You can say what the hell you like. Compare it with all the other countries: Mexico, Guatemala, above all Colombia, which is a joke."
While Stone has not been as blunt about his views on Jews and the Holocaust in the past, he has been outspoken in his fondness for Chavez and his disagreements with the U.S.'s policy on Iran.
On ABC's Good Morning America on July 28, the director told anchor George Stephanopoulos that he "absolutely" believes Chavez is a good person, and claimed that there was "there's no pattern of censorship in this country [Venezuela]."
Stone also said that if the U.S. pursued sanctions against Iran, "it's going to be like North Vietnam again."
