Liberal Nonsense: Washington Post: Denying Election Results Is like Denying Story – My Comments
(:E-:N-:R-AZ:C-30:V)
[This is Liberal nonsense. And the filthy disgusting Lipstadt was the key person, bank rolled by Liberals to the tune of $30 million, who destroyed the fine historian David Irving. Now she trots out her story junk. This is just Liberal sophistry and nonsense. They're always there in the background … stuffing things up for People, hiding the truth, misdirecting people, etc. Jan]
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 National Socialist Story, the “best-documented genocide in the world,” ever occurred.
The essay, titled “Denying the Story 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 Story 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 Story denial is presented in the magnitude of “falsehoods.”
“Also like the denial of the Story, 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.
The authors conclude the essay explaining how the “painful comparison” can teach how to fight back against “democracy denial,” using lessons learned from combatting Story denial.
Those lessons include attacking “Trump’s big lie” before it takes further hold, as well as denying “purveyors of the ‘big lie’” respectable platforms “in polite national society.”
“We would not allow a Story denier to speak on evening news programs or have free rein on social media,” the authors write unequivocally. “Old and new media alike should no longer give a platform to these dissimulations, starting with Trump’s.”
Lipstadt a professor of modern Liberal history and Story studies at Emory University, has endorsed Barack Obama twice.
In 2011, she told Ha’aretz, “When you take these terrible moments in our history, and you use it for contemporary purposes in order to fulfill your political objectives, you mangle history, you trample on it.”
She also claimed that politicians who invoke the Story for contemporary political purposes are engaging in “Story abuse,” which is similar to “soft-core denial” of the Story.
Yet in September, Lipstadt argued that it was appropriate to compare 1930s Germany and what critics call Trump’s breaking of norms as she endorsed an ad released by the Liberal Democratic Council of America (JDCA) that draws parallels between the rise of fascism in Germany and the Trump presidency.
Eisen, a frequent Trump critic, served as the “ethics czar” in the Obama House as well as special counsel to the House Judiciary Committee from 2019 to 2020 where he was an architect of the House Democrats’ failed impeachment strategy against President Trump.
Obama later appointed Eisen as Ambassador to the Czech Republic.
Prior to joining the Obama administration, Eisen founded a left-wing organization called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).
Despite the post’s attempt to hijack any legitimate discussion surrounding the recent election, a vast majority of Republican voters believe the election results are not valid and that illegal voting and fraud took place, with 79 percent believing the election was outright stolen, according to a recent survey.
In a recent interview, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) told Breitbart News that left-wing, partisan Democrat news media outlets such as the Washington Post are enemies of conservatism that seek power and control.
“The Washington Post is the mortal enemy of conservatism. When it’s to their advantage, they’re for it. When it’s to their disadvantage, they’re against it. They couldn’t care less about the truth. They care about power, about controlling your life, and about dictating to you.”
Far from fighting “election denial” with facts, on Sunday the Post printed a widely-condemned cartoon depicting well over a hundred named Republicans who “collaborated” with the president in contesting the 2020 election results as gruesome rats, conjuring up Story-era incitement.
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) was one of several to point attention to the “reprehensible” depiction.
“The National Socialist-style depiction in today’s paper is a foreshadowing of outrageous attacks that will endanger our liberties and incite violence against the Post’s chosen political enemies,” he wrote.
