He should have made his speeches over here and he would have been ignored or glorified in the press.

I am not going to let anybody silence me.

Hey David Irving, I don't know about anyone else but I for one am not listening to you in the first place,

[dhs12345]

He's an idiot. But he isn't breaking any law (IMHO).

Let the public and others scrutinize what he said publically. He will be proven the fool that he is.

[Revolting cat!]

Amusement continues. If David Irving didn't exist he'd have to be invented, he's serving so many needs here. Go Irving, Go!

[Paradox]

I completely support this guys freedom to espouse whatever nonsense he wants too. Fact is, Europia has less of those freedoms than we do, even with the evihl Patriot Act.

I love to watch when Irving is discussed over in DUmmie land. The hidden communist tendancies come through every time when half of them start demanding that this guy needed to be jailed and shut up for his opinion.

Their "freedom of speech" only extends to the speech they approve and it's interesting that most of them can't see why that's wrong.

[ASH71]

my problem with this is that he did the speeches in 89, and now recants what he stated back then. Why bother with the jail term they should have made him go on tour.

More from the article:

You get wiser, it is not so much a change of heart as a refining of your position," he said.

"Every historian should do this, a lot of them don't, particularly in Germany and Austria, the historians are so frightened of being locked up in jail like me now."

Asked if he regretted the offence his views had caused, the historian replied:

"In my view freedom of speech means freedom to say to other people what they do not want to hear.

"If that causes offence, then that is partly their problem and partly mine. Freedom of speech is the right to be wrong basically. Sometimes I am wrong."

"They are not going to succeed, I don't think."

Good, positive attitude, Irving moron.

[Revolting cat!]

We're all seem to be missing the point, or the gist of the matter, if you prefer!

[<1/1,000,000th%]

He's already changed his mind.

What's he saying? That he won't change it again?

[Peter Libra]

Nobody will silence me.

Quoting Irving.

In the mind of Klackl,the prosecutor. "We have ways- of course".

You can take Colonel Klink out of Austria, but you cannot take Austria out of Colonel Klink.
