Wiesenthal acknowledged fabricating numbers about deaths in Nazi Germany. Why trust a big liar?

[Pure Comedy Gold]

From article linked below:

Yehuda Bauer, an Israeli Holocaust scholar who chairs the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, said he warned his friend Wiesenthal, who died in 2005, about spreading the false notion that the Holocaust claimed 11 million victims – 6 million Jews and 5 million non-Jews.

“I said to him, ‘Simon, you are telling a lie,’” Bauer recalled in an interview Tuesday. “He said, ‘Sometimes you need to do that to get the results for things you think are essential.’”

‘Remember the 11 million’? Why an inflated victims tally irks Holocaust historians

An oft-cited statistic of 5 million non-Jewish Holocaust deaths has no basis in fact, experts say, and may be contributing to denial efforts

I told pure comedy goop that he was lying.

He said, “sometimes I do that to get a reaction.”

A liar does not get the opportunity to repeat lies.

Walters is wrong.

Walters is wrong.

How so?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

How so?

He quoted someone who had no evidence. He is wrong until the evidence proves the alleged fact.

He quoted many.

So you're saying The Times of Israel and Bauer are lying? Or what?

 

[Pure Comedy Gold]

BTW, if one is going to discuss Walters, then at least be familiar with his work. Horses just demonstrated that he is not.

He's your fellow DemoKKKrat.

You people need to get your shit together and purge the neo-Nazis from your party.

 

[Pure Comedy Gold]

I am saying he is wrong.

You already said that without explaining.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Yep, he is wrong. You can explain why he's right if you wish.
