David Irving vs. Listerine
A Case of Ethnic Cleansing?
The self-described "historian," David Irving, has authored
over thirty books on the events of World War II. He is consistently
lauded -- by Holocaust "revisionists" -- as a great writer, a
fantastic historian, a serious researcher, and so on. For example, see
the CODOH web site.
How then to explain this bizarre foray into the crassest of tabloid
sensationalism, found in Irving's Update to Action Report #9, May 1995?
Notice the "Radical's Diary" on the right. This column appears
regularly; in fact,
CODOH
provides copies of several of them on the web:
March 1996,
July 1996,
and
January 1997.
But CODOH does not provide a copy of the May 1995 Radical's
Diary. The May 1995 column ends with an
exposé of a conspiratorial stroke of secret anti-Germanism,
disguised as ...er... a mouthwash commercial.
Yes, a mouthwash commercial.
We are not making this up.
Watch for it. And learn. Possibly Listerine® has snuck this secret message into
its other slogans as well. Further research is required:
Watch for them. And learn.
For information on Listerine®, a fine mouthwash from
Warner-Lambert, please visit their
Listerine homepage

Listerine FAQ.

Which reminds me: there's currently a black and white
newsreel-type Listerine commercial showing on American television with
a sinister man intoning the message, "They're Germs -- show no mercy!"
and slurring the G-word so it sounds like something else.
and, most defamatory of all, its main slogan:
