"If ... The Protocols are genuine (which can never be proven conclusively), it might cause some of us to keep a wary eye on world affairs. We neither support nor deny its message. We simply make it available for those who wish a copy."
Did Dan Rather write this?

I like Walmart, but you're right. The fact that nobody recognized what this book was when they chose to stock it in thier stores is incredulous to me.

Interesting story. Normally, it's hard to find a copy of the book, but there it was at Walmart. Sounds to me like some anti-semitic employee was responsible for adding it to their short list of books that Walmart sells.
That's too bad for Walmart, IMO.

I found an old copy of the book in my fathers house when he died. I read it, It makes no sense. It talks in circles. Weird. publication.

Bowing to a barrage of complaints from
Jewish groups people with IQs 5 points higher than a flatworm, retail leader Wal-Mart Inc. has stopped selling "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion," an infamous anti-Semitic tract long exposed as fake.
There that's a bit more actuate.

In a statement e-mailed to Reuters, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman said, "Based on significant customer feedback regarding the book titled 'The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion,' we have made a business decision to remove this book ... from our site at www.walmart.com." Who the hell made the "business decision" to put it on the website in the first place?
And why?

It's hard to believe that even Wally world could e this stupid.

The book should be available (so that those with historical interest can see what this kind of propaganda looks like & how it has been used), but any edition sold should have a long cautionary preface. Pretending it was never written doesn't help anyone.
To: valkyrieanne
I think it's a little different when a retailer that is primarily a bookstore sells it, because then it can make a claim that it is selling the book for historial interest, while not endorcing the content.
I bought "Mein Kampf," which sold a lot of copies in Germany, and Protocols, evil as it is, has been influential and helps to reveal the evil of anti-Semitism that has taken hold in the Arab mind.

They cut back on gun sales years ago, but they were selling this book?

I'm not on the anti-Walmart train, but I'm getting there.

My dad has a very old copy of this in his files. It features an evil-looking clawed hand reaching down toward the world.

My understanding is that it was a publishing controversy when "Mein Kampf"
was first published here in the USA...but the publisher said it was done
to expose Hitler's evil ideology.
While WalMart screwed up this time, what some publisher should do
(maybe already has) is put out an "enhanced" edition of The Protocols...
with clear labeling and added chapters that explains the history of the document
and how a bunch of racist boneheads have embraced it.
