I seem to remember, round about 1998, *the experts* telling us that we were "in Y2K Denial"...
...and Y2K proved to be a non-event.
The key difference here is that the Holocaust has actually *already happened*, and its "deniers" are fools who ignore the lessons of history ex-post-facto.
"Y2K" was a false prediction that came to naught. "Y2K deniers" saved themselves a heap of money on generators, extra bullets, bunkers and a lifetime supply of dried beans that they didn't purchase because the whole idea was silly to begin with.
"Global Warming deniers" will probably likewise save a heap of money on Kyoto Protocol requirements that they won't have to pay for in useless taxes because their countries won't sign up to it.
So who/what assaults and tries to kidnap Elie Wiesel in, of all places, the homo heartland not even three days later?
Yup. A Holocaust denier.
Don't need to be a genius or a psychic to figure these wackadoos out though. You just gotta know their player roster.
