He's denied being a Holocaust denier

Not really, not any more than Clinton denied charges with his answers. He implied ambiguity and evasion in his answers and that is quite sad. He could have put the charge to rest. He seemed unable to go against his father.

He implied ambiguity and evasion in his answers and that is quite sad.

Unfortunately, neither presidio9, nor myself, nor many others see any abiguity at all.

From the article, without the full of the interview and quotes taken out of full context.: "I have friends and parents of friends who have numbers on their arms. The guy who taught me Spanish was a Holocaust survivor. He worked in a concentration camp in France. Yes, of course. Atrocities happened. War is horrible. The Second World War killed tens of millions of people. Some of them were Jews in concentration camps. Many people lost their lives. In the Ukraine, several million starved to death between 1932 and 1933. During the last century, 20 million people died in the Soviet Union."

I just have a hard time understanding how "Yes, of course" is denial. I have a hard time understanding how you can have a Holocaust survivor without a Holocaust. I have a hard time understanding how this answer, even taken out of context, is ambiguious.

But, again, there's no reason for the question to even be asked. It's flat out stupid to pin the sins of the father on the son. I've asked previously, in this thread, that just because my father is a racist, and I a racist, too?

That questions hasn't been answered, but I can assure you that I am not a racist. Does that mean I'm going to attack my father? Nope, not going to happen.
