How does his being thrown in jail in Austria support his case? It's illegal to deny the holocaust in former Nazi nations. That's their law. If big mouths like David Irving want to commit acts of civil disobedience, let them pay the price. We ought to have the same laws in place in this country. You want to slander our Commander in Chief durng wartime, aid and abet the enemy, go right ahead. But pay the price. Let them have the courage of their convictions. Then let's see how brave these fatsos like Cindy Sheehan, Micheal Moore and the rest of the over-indulged left really are. Bring back the Sedition and Espionage Acts. Let them drink the hemlock. It was good enough for Socrates.
You and I disagree completely on this point. The First Amendment exists (and is first) for a reason. I am astounded that a supposedly conservative American would toss aside the genius of our founders and 230 years of American culture and jurisprudence in order to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Please reconsider your position on this point. We do not need the thought police in our country.
