Washington Post: Denying Election Results Is like Denying Holocaust
Breitbart ^ | 25 Dec 2020 | Joshua Klein

Posted on 12/25/2020 3:33:05 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

In a Washington Post editorial published Wednesday, authors Deborah E. Lipstadt and Norman Eisen argue for the radical comparison of challenging recent election results with denying that a Nazi Holocaust, the “best-documented genocide in the world,” ever occurred.

The essay, titled “Denying the Holocaust threatens democracy. So does denying the election results,” makes several comparisons while suggesting how to combat such “denial.”

Claiming to have “learned the hard way” to take Holocaust denial seriously, the authors state they have “watched with alarm the birth of another powerful disinformation mythology,” referring to the “false conviction pushed by Trump and his enablers” that the recent election was “stolen.”

“Call it democracy denial,” the editorial suggests.

Noting that such a comparison is highly extreme, the authors assure readers that it was not made “lightly.”

“As students of history, we do not make this comparison lightly,” they wrote.

The pair also sought to associate the president’s challenge of election results with racism, claiming that “[the president] and his cohort are openly targeting strongly minority jurisdictions with their false claims.”

Another comparison to Holocaust denial is presented in the magnitude of “falsehoods.”

“Also like the denial of the Holocaust, the sheer scale of Trump’s electoral falsehoods is staggering,” they wrote.

After assuring the reader that “Trump is not, of course, Adolf Hitler,” the authors state that both “adopted the propaganda technique of the big lie” before quoting Hitler to prove so.

if you’re an election judge in a suspect swing state, you would seem to be uniquely situation to expose the fraud mechanism.

The Washington Post bunch claim to be “journalists”. I vehemently deny that they are journalists. BTW, did the WaPo cover the Holocaust as well as their cohorts at the NYT?

The NYT denied the Holocaust in the 1930’s.

Correction. The NYT denied the Holodomor in the 1930’s. That was the murderous campaign against the peasantry in the Ukraine. The Holocaust against the Jews did not start until about 1940.

I recall one side claiming the russians hacked the elections for last 4 years. So forgive me if I don’t take their opinions seriously when it comes to Trump talking about obvious election fraud.

On January 20, 2009, Obama named him Special Counsel for Ethics and Government Reform in the White House.

Ah,yes...Nazis again.I guess the Amazon Compost has never heard of Godwin’s Law. In comparing Trump's fight with holocaust denial the Compost must remember that as the Allies were entering the camps in the spring of ‘45 there were no phony “water main breaks” stopping them.
