Fox News Chyron Identifies Elie Wiesel As “Holocaust Winner”

This comes via Young Manhattanite:



I’m pretty sure that Wiesel would not consider himself a winner.

6. I'm guessing they had to compromise between "Nobel Prize Winner" and "Holocaust Survivor".

I'm just surprised it didn't say "Nobel Prize Survivor."

5. These people make a box of rocks look brilliant by comparison

[dorkulon]

8. Is it wrong that I'm laughing?

[LiberalArkie]

9. What if Fox meant Whiner instead of winner... Gross thought

[bemildred]

10. Jeebus. nt

[pepperbear]

11. they probsbly met "whiner"

12. I don't think there was even any political motivation behind this one.

It's just plain stupidity.

[DBoon]

13. because the losers were all killed by the Nazis

you see, everyone is individually responsible for their fate. If you have the strength, will and intelligence you can always beat the odds.

All those people murdered by the nazis - losers who deserved their fate.

Just like people in america who can't afford housing/food/medical care - losers who don't have the drive and amibition to get an MBA

Seriously, right wingers think like this

[nightgaunt]

15. Sounds like Ayn Rand's psychopath loving way of thinking

Be afraid of these people, very afraid should they see a way of checking to see if you and I are winners or losers too.

I can see someone like them thinking that if you survived that you are a winner in that Death Lottery, only he won be losing i.e. the Nazis didn't get to him to do their evil deed.

14. What does that even mean? nt
