"Really doesn't matter what anyone says (and after a dozen threads on this stuff, it's all been said) the facts are the facts."

They sure are, not that facts ever made much difference to Irving where there were books to sell and self promotion to be done!

And all the so called "free speech" advocates taking the cause of a professional liar as if outright fraud rises to protected speech in another country.

Fraud?

Do you really think Austria has people who know nothing of the Holocaust and who might be misled by Irving?

BTW, our concern with free speech is that it is a proven method for de-fanging people like Irving. If you don't allow free speech in your society, you just drive fascism and it's near relatives underground where they will fester, and then leap up and bite you in the *ss someday.

So, you have a choice, fascism or free speech. I prefer free speech. You prefer the alternative.
