The apple doesn't fall far from the tree: Le Pen's recent Holocaust revisionism

Ms. Le Pen in an interview said that “France isn’t responsible for the Vel d’Hiv,” a reference to the rounding up of more than 13,000 Jews—including some 4,000 children—in July 1942. Nazi occupiers, with the help of the Vichy regime of Marshal Pétain, crowded the victims into a cycling stadium before dispatching them to concentration camps. The majority were sent to Auschwitz.
...
This is an historical evasion. Many French fought the Nazis, but the scale of French collaboration was vast, with some 350,000 French citizens purged or punished postwar for collaboration. Current French President François Hollande and the center-right former President Jacques Chirac have accepted state responsibility for the Vel d’Hiv episode and apologized.
...
The comments echoed the National Front of Ms. Le Pen’s father, Jean-Marie. Mr. Le Pen in 1987 described the Holocaust as a “detail in the history of World War II” and more recently suggested that “Mr. Ebola” could solve the world’s “demographic” problems.

you really think these trivial things are super important all of a sudden.
france isn't responsible. first of all the French resistance...so there, but as far as the collaborators are concerned they had guns to their heads...also, who cares?

She want's to Frexit. That's all that matters for France at this current time in history.

Anyway her candidacy is moribund. She doesn't stand a chance in runoff election.

Well she's against forced immigration into her country and I can respect that.

So does Melenchon. Do you support him as well?

I don't know any thing about Melenchon. Does he have a hot daughter?

Can we make it a rule that any threads about Le Pen must include a picture of the smoking hot niece?

And she doesn't want to take millions more rapefugees either! Shut it down!
Posted on 4/11/17 at 9:37 am to TN Bhoy
Good for her! She doesn't have to account for something that happened in 1942. It's 2017.

Seconded.
There's a motion on the floor. All those in favor?

I (honestly) love it when one of you lefties start going after a candidate by playing one of your various cards. I guess this is the anti-Semitic card. Which is rather odd, bc most anti-Semitism is coming form the Left these days.
But anyway, this is always a sign to me that the person being attacked must be doing well. Otherwise, why bother? Right?

Look at policies, not labels. She's to the left of the Socialist candidate on economics, guns, the military, and about 30 other issues. The only issue that she's to the 'right' on is immigration.

I honestly love it when you start calling anyone who disagrees with you a lefty despite not knowing anything about the person you're defending.

Correct. Le Pen, and her Vichy-apologist father, are leftists.

I find it a problem that people like you are throwing away your principles because the media is telling you that someone is to the right. Actually try thinking for yourself. Do some research. Look into the FN and see what Le Pen, her father, and that party actually stand for. I don't think you'll like it.
