Anyone who's questioning the extent of the holocaust, or whether it even 
happened, has absolutely no historical ground to stand on. It's like arguing 
that dinosaurs never existed....you can DO it, but your a joke. It is 
reasonable to assume anyone arguing something so assinine, has ulterior 
motives for doing so.

Or perhaps they are just that stupid...i guess that IS possible.

That simply is not the case, at least not here in the US. ALL types of 
insensitive speech are irresponsible to publish, but here you do have the 
freedom to publish it. I don't think anti-semitic publishings have any 
special place here among bigoted propaganda.
