Obama: "Auschwitz was run by the Polish Army"
Jay Severin Radio Show | 5/30/12

Posted on 05/30/2012 12:16:11 PM PDT by pabianice

Per Severin, when Obama recently made an address regarding the Nazi concentration camps, he said that Auschwitz was run by the Polish Army. This from "the president who know more about Judaism than any other American president."

Poland is not amused. Nor am I.

I’m not doubting that Obama said it, but I sure would like a link to irrefutable proof.

I have only seen it reported that he called them Polish death camps. I haven’t seen that he said they were run by the Polish army.

If he did, I think I would have seen it

He ignorance is astounding...have not seen this 'play' on headline news or less than; but then the Miami 'cannibal' has not gotten too much coverage either. (Was wondering if Obama would claim; he looks like his son; the one we thought 'if he had'; now after more ignorance slipping; maybe the one/or two; he does have.)

That said; his ignorance is always as close - and as often - as is his 'finger to his nose'. His disciples simply ignore; of course; as most as least as ignorant as he is. And many; a whole lot more.

In 2008 he said his uncle had liberated Auschwitz, so obviously he knows more about it than any previous POTUS. To suggest otherwise would be racist.

I’m guessing that is already among his SMARTEST.

Except for his handlers, everyone else on Team Obama has to be dumber than the Bag-of-Rocks-in-Chief is.

Then his uncle was in the Soviet Red Army. Come to think of it, maybe he was, and did.

It might explain a lot.

Speech on Breitbart; he does say "Polish Death Camps' - which by inference - or omission - implies they are in fact 'Polish' / Polish run / and so Polish Military running them. Think author is allowing for what he said in full context,

However you slice it/dice it. . .it is pure 'ignoramus' showing itself.

Snopes will likely have a full list of articles by morning debunking this and similar false allegations against the Fraud.

That’s what I keep thinking. The poor, troubled and very imaginary uncle who lived in the attic due to what he encountered at Auschwitz.

It implies no such thing. It is a simple slip of the tongue, specifically, a “category error”.

If I asked you what’s the capital of New Jersey, and you said Dover, I could not possibly think that you believe the capital of Delaware is located in New Jersey, nor could I convince anybody that you thought such a thing.

As much as I loathe Obama, all he said was that Auschwitz was in Poland, not that it was run by Poles. I do find it amusing that Obama has been hoist on his own petard of PC.

No, no, no, no. You just gave me a link confirming that Obama said “Polish death camp.” I want a link to something that quotes him saying “Aushwitz was run by the Polish army,” because you have that in quotation marks in the title— telling us that he said those exact words. I don’t think he did.

I think the moron teleprompter feeder thought “Polish Death Camps” meant camps in which Poles were put to death.

Since most leftists hate Jews and disavow at least the severity of the Holocaust, they don’t understand how to refer to the concentration camps.

Just a guess, and I HATE defending the monster as well.

Misspoke? Tongue slip? Defenders of the Holy Won on Free Republic? Here's what he said, as published by the WH and read off a teleprompter:

"Before one trip across enemy lines, resistance fighters told him that Jews were being murdered on a massive scale, and smuggled him into the Warsaw Ghetto and a Polish death camp to see for himself."

He used the phrase Polish death camps not death camps in Poland. It may mean the same thing but as of this morning the Polish government has demanded and is awaiting an apology. For 70 years Pole have lived with the fact that they were not very hospitable to Polish Jews and they are very touchy about being linked with the Nazis as perpetrators of the Holocaust. The WH guy who put this on the prompter should be identified and fired. And we need a POTUS who can think about what he’s being told to say by TOTUS.

Here;s the thing. I want to get holy and offended, because my grandfather was in one of the camps. But what happened was more of a Ron Burgundy moment.

Obama is an idiot and he reads what is written there. He is far too concerned about his Fake Majestic Cadence to think about what he is saying. The writer of the speech is young, too young to understand the nuances of using the word “Polish” for the death camps.

I do think he just misspoke. The death camps WERE in Poland, but not “Polish death camps.”

I also think he misspoke, but another reason he should have been more careful is that he was giving a (posthumous) medal to a famous Pole who tried to bring news of the Jewish holocaust to the Allies.

I wonder if the guys who ran the death camp spoke Austrian? Obama was just parroting TOTUS.

This is more than a slip of the tongue, it is a diplomatic gaffe that his advisers should have picked up in a NY minute. It points again to how amateurish this Administration is. There is no excuse for such incompetence.

For the record. I lived two years in Poland during the days of Solidarnosc'. The Poles have every right to be insulted by such stupidity.
