I'll agree with most of your points, but if you read the Sobran piece you might come away with the conclusion [if you weren't aware of a certain fact] that it was David Irving who was being sued by oppressive Jews who wouldn't let him voice his opinions. Actually, it was Irving who sued. I don't like defenses of holocaust deniers, especially when you have to twist the truth in order for it to fit your world view.
Thank you for you note. I completely agree with you, and the previous post was written in support. I probably failed to make it clear: David Irving
fails the simple test offered in the previous post.
I agree with you fully; David Irving has no symathy from me either, especially when, as you so well put, "[one has] to twist the truth in order for it to fit [one's] world view."
Like you, I try to distance myself from emotions in such cases, and in this case may have overdone being careful to address the issue rather then proceed ad hominem. Regards, TQ.
