Given the over the top biased angst we are repeatedly seeing from the blatantly bought and sold mainstream media this election cycle, we believe the “precedent” merits reminding. And he was…
Julius Streicher:
As Editor-in-Chief of the venomous antisemitic paper, Der Stuermer, Julius Streicher disseminated hatred and the most virulent strain of anti-Jewish sentiment to be found in all of Germany. And Hitler strongly approved of Streicher’s publication. The only real trouble he ever got into with the Nazi Party was for raising questions about Goering’s sexual prowess. When Goering’s wife, Emma, was about to give birth, Streicher suggested that perhaps Emma had been artificially inseminated (Conot, Justice at Nuremberg, 1983:383). Daniel Goldhagen (Hitler’s Willing Executioners, 1996:102) describes him as “the most rabid antisemite in Germany.” Jackson called him “the venomous vulgarian.” However, Streicher was non-military, he was not part of the planning process of the Holocaust, nor of the invasion of Poland or the Soviet Union. And, yet, his role in inciting the extermination of Jews was significant enough, in the judgment of the prosecutors, to include him in the indictment.
Julius Streicher was sentenced to death by hanging.
