[net.politics] Various & Sundry: is this a joke?

Mr. Black's articles have always been churning with passionate
convictions with little evidence.  But I think he has gone a little
too far this time.  Is he really subtly suggesting that 6 million Jews
were not massacred in WW II?

"Granted some horrible things took place"!  Mr. Black if you want why don't
you go to Germany and visit Auschwitz at first hand for yourself.  Read
"The Diary of Anne Frank", read William Shirer's account of the rise and
fall of the Third Reich.  The figure of 6 million Jews killed may be
more or less than the actual number.  That millions were killed and the
rest persecuted by the Nazis is a fact which cannot be reasonably disputed.
 
Or how about this piece of paranoia?:

Are you telling me that Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt were "Communist
conspirators"?  You do realize that Roosevelt was as much as anyone else
the founder of the United Nations don't you?  But *of course* Roosevelt
was that commie that sponsored the New Deal.  He was also the most subtle
of Communists since he did hardly anything that might prove that he was
actually a Communist.  He even fooled major industrialists to serve on
the various Economic Boards during World War II- these premier capitalists
never once suspecting that really Roosevelt was a Communist.
Not only that but he got Henry Wallace to launch his own Progressive
campaign for President so that Roosevelt would look like a moderate
when Wallace said he was too conservative.
"If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, quacks like a duck:
    it must be a cow!!"
I'll bet you didn't know Mr. Black that actually our whole society is going
to pot because it's been infiltrated by *aliens from outer space*.
How do I know? Well, I leave it to you to prove otherwise. All I have to
do is make the statement, *I* don't have to present any evidence for it.
 
Please present your evidence that
   1)Roosevelt was a Communist
   2)our society has *not* been infiltrated by *aliens from outer space*
