Polish President signs controversial Holocaust bill into law

Source: CNN

(CNN)Polish President Andrzej Duda signed Poland's controversial new Holocaust bill late Tuesday ahead of it being assessed by the country's Constitutional Tribunal. The law would make it illegal to accuse the nation of complicity in crimes committed by Nazi Germany, including the Holocaust. It would also ban the use of terms such as "Polish death camps" in relation to Auschwitz and other such camps located in Nazi-occupied Poland.

Violations will be punished by a fine or a jail sentence of up to three years.

Lawless brown shirted nazis are now marching through US and European streets, whining about how it is they on whom genocide is being perpetrated. In Charlottesville, and on campuses throughout this nation, we've heard their jackboots marching over the pavement, their truncheons hitting flesh, their guns proudly carried in the open, hatred shining forth from their faces, and racist vitriol flowing out of their mouths.

The generation of Holocaust survivors grows old, and these young nazis are watching and once again telling the big lie.

If you listen you can hear echos of bloody trains moving across the steppe.

Congress could just pass a law saying slavery never happened, the Trail of Tears was made up by disgruntled Indians, and the South won the Civil War. Although come to think of it, the Southern states seem to have already done that.

Those ignorant turkeys have been foisting right wing lies off on our children since before the beginning of this decade.

Why does the right wing assault knowledge? Because they cannot defend their positions intellectually OR morally.
