I can't say about Carlson, although his knowledge of history is shallow at best. Cooper is definitely a Nazi apologist and definitely not even an amateur historian. As the Brits, Niall Ferguson and Douglas Murray, as well as VDH, have pointed out, Cooper is just pushing warmed-over David Irving, whose "ideas" they're familiar with.

All of these guys are peddling historical revisionism of the worst sort, and it should give everyone serious pause about the direction of the new "natcon" right. I've been a conservative or libertarian since I was in college, and the collapse of the Buckley-Goldwater-Reagan conservatism and its replacement with circus barkers and peddlers of fraud should make everyone concerned.
