By John Aravosis:

"A few days ago I wrote about a New York Times story about Hitler and the 1936 Olympics. The Times story noted that Hitler promised the International Olympic Committee that he’d remove anti-Semitic signs from around Berlin during the Olympic Games, and in response the IOC called Americans seeking a boycott of the Berlin Games “liars.”

We all know how that one turned out."
