I'm not sure I buy this. I don't see how the reaction to him (IE let's chuck him in the can for being an obnoxious jerk) is very much preferable to the reaction of Norwegian Muslims to the Mohammad Cartoons.
The Norwegian Muslims called for the editor to be put in jail for "his own protection", because "they were not sure they could control the anger" over the cartoons.
I see censorship as censorship. I'm fully in favor of stating this man is as stupid as Pat Buchanan for engaging in holocaust denial. But to put him in jail for his beliefs, wrong answer.

Pat Buchanan has not, to my understanding, engaged in Holocaust denial. You might want to bring in a specific reference for that.

This is a pretty typical leftist response to an obviously silly point of view. This man is to be pitied. Thowing him in jail for three years because he's stupid is a wrong move. Can see where this is going. In a few years many kinds of speech will be "crimes".
