WaPo: Trump Analogizes Trump Deportation Plan to 'Pol Pot Genocide'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/23/2016 8:51:22 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

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."

Great pic. The ultimate outcome of communism/socialism. The democrat party, based upon envy, hatered, theft, and murder. Good little commies.

Thanks. Of course many FReepers don’t have much use for Trump, but still it’s instructive to see just how low the MSM will stoop to defame the Republican frontrunner.

Typical MSM bull $h!t. These reporters are less educated and have experienced less of life than your average three year old.

My father self deported in 1950 and NO, that is not comparable to Hitler's Gas Chambers, Stalin's Famine OR Pol Pot's reeducation camps. This is infuriating. This is insulting. This is unacceptable.

I already have what I call the ‘Bush Corollary’ to Godwin’s Law: the sooner someone brings up and bashes George Bush, the less they know about politics. When someone immediately starts out with a Bush-bash, I know that they do not know enough about politics to be talking with me.

Problem is that the immigrants that came to America in the past made America into the greatest nation on earth, problem now is the current immigrants want to turn it into a cesspool like their native lands, we Americans who worked hard, lived here for generations and have died here have every right on planet Earth to stop them, by whatever means neccesary. Even if we must break the laws set up by corruption at the highest levels.

>You don’t read many references to Pol Pot nowadays.

Pol Pot was hardcore Marxist murder. If anyone should be compared to her is Merkle who’s in the process of murdering Germany.

A new conservative coalition party wouldn't even have to give a (BLEEP) about what these vermin have to say.

Damn the torpedoes.

50 state fully operational political machine...ready to go.

Just have to change the header on the paperwork and fliers to the new party label.

And go.

Jedi.

Dies this mean that the WaPo is finally denouncing Pol Pot?

Isn’t that an interesting spin.

Is it NOT a genocide that Mexico has a population that is fleeing by the tens of millions? What’s going on in Mexico? Narcoterrorism. Corruption? None of that matters to these libs?

“Does this mean that the WaPo is finally denouncing Pol Pot?”

They will probably print an apology tomorrow. To Pol Pot, not Trump.

“...many FReepers don’t have much use for Trump”

In truth, there aren’t that many anti-Trumpers here. It’s a little over one in ten, per the FR Caucus results.

From your profile page:

“Been here before many moons ago...”

Are you saying you once had an account here, or were you just a lurker?

If you did once have an account here, what was your forum handle, and why was that account closed?

I ask, because you’re advocating for a third party, right in the middle of a contentious nomination battle. Many long term Freepers consider such behavior, on the part of a newbie, to be just a tad suspicious.

Care to clear the air on this? You’re pinging some folks’ radar with the third party thing.

We will never have a better chance to form a viable 3rd Party should Cruz not be on the ticket.

But this nation no longer has the individuals residing in it to pull it off.

Sorry I let the thought cross my mind.

It is done then.

Jedi.
