We're all familiar with Godwin's Law: in an argument, the first person to mention the Nazis automatically loses. We're going to have to come up with a companion concept for the Washington Post: call it the Cambodian Corollary. Wapo's editorial of yesterday, Softening on Trump? Remember this reflects the paper's apparent worry that people will take a second look at Trump in light of his moderated tone in recent days. We can't have any of that! With Hillary as unpopular as she is, the high negatives of her likely opponent must be preserved!
So WaPo runs through a list of the offensive or controversial things Trump has said. And yes, he done a variety of dubious things, including of course his "blood out of her wherever," about Megyn Kelly. But then WaPo invents this utterly bizarre, false analogy [emphasis added]: "Remember that Mr. Trump promised to round up 11 million undocumented immigrants and deport them, in what would be the largest forced population movement since Pol Pot’s genocide of the Cambodian people."

Whatever you think of Trump, this is despicable . . .
Washington Post analogizes Trump’s deportation plan with Pol Pot’s genocide that killed 1/4 of the Cambodian population.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Yeah, enforcing the laws of the US is just like genocide....../s
Yesterday it was just like George Wallace and segregation.
WaPo and the NYT need to stop their infantilism. It is really getting old.
Trump analogized that HE was like Pol Pot??
That is how I read that title.
I would be so thrilled if the entire staff of the Washington Post, the LA Times, the New York Times, CBS, NBC, ABC, and MSNBC were summarily executed in gas showers with Zyklon-B.
Enforce E Verify on every employee and cut off all welfare benefits and they will have to leave. Very humane.
It took me a while to ‘unbraid’ the meaning of the headline.
I read it over and over. After the forth re-read I went all Nancy Pelosi on it; thinking ‘I’ll just have to read it, in order to know what’s in it’.
Every fraudulently documented foreigner who broke into the country and remains here illegally KNOWS that they are an illegal alien and subject to deportation.
US citizens have a right to the rule of law and to keep their country and to have their government protect them from foreign criminals.
The fraudulently documented foreigners can leave on their own and then apply to be Americans like everyone else.
If we have to deport them, they cannot apply for 10 years according to US law.
We should never change the laws to benefit those breaking them.
We did that in 1986 and it has resulted in 10 times the number of illegal aliens and potentially the loss of our country if we do not stop the illegal alien inundation.
The MS-13 and Nortenos? We have to do more than send them away.
Good catch: I messed up the headline and have asked mods to fix. It should read: “WaPo Analogizes Trump Deportation Plan to ‘Pol Pot Genocide’”

Or the (Pol) Pot Postulate, or the (Khmer) Rouge Rule. But perhaps we should thank Heaven for small favors: at least the Post is implying that being a Communist might be a bad thing.
The best plan would be for all of US to stop buying either of those birdcage liners. But even the most sanctimonious conservatives bust their butts every day to get their copies, and quote them proudly. I’m referring to the Limbaughs, Hannitys, Becks, Levins, et al. Let the blasted yellow rags DIE!
Whenever I hear some talking head quote a liberal rag, I mutter to myself one of Rhett Butler’s famous lines, augmented slightly: “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a #%$& what the NYT or WaPo says!”
Good ones!
And it’s not that Communism is bad in the eyes of WaPo: it’s just that so far it hasn’t been done correctly ;-)
Oh, good grief! Anyone with a brain sell knows that Trump’s message is simply this: a full stop on the present policy and a return to something like the status quo ante NAFTE. He is promising to do what Scotus probably won’t. Definitely, he is not going to appoint to the court who will go along with Obama’s usurpation of power. Probably someone like Senator Sessions.
Comparing Donald Trump to Pol Pot:
Now that’s a definite disconnect from reality.
The problem is, that it will become a valid talking point
for visceral, adolescent, psychotic Progressives.
IMHO
I’m glad you brought this to our attention here. You don’t read many references to Pol Pot nowadays. We need to be aware of how the libs are trying to slander and demonize a republican.
Wow...that’s completely over the top...
Sure deporting law breaking illegals will be a hardship for them...
To compare it to mass genocide is yellow journalism...
