ROFL! By questioning the validity of Freedom of Speech not applying to the holocaust on the grounds of sanctity, and historic significance, bigotry, racism and genocide...yet applying to other things that also portray bigotry, racism and genocide one somehow supports neo-nazism?
Weren't you the same person arguing that the Republican party branding people who were against the Iraq war,or Bush's spending policies, or the lack of WMD as Anti American, or Unpatriotic was patently wrong? But if we overlook that inconsistency and explore the matter further: For example, the KKK is still allowed to preach hatred, hold meetings and promote itself to white Americans. How many black people in the US suffered under the yoke of the KKK? How many blacks were slaughtered during slavery when the Industrial Might of Several Nations was used to enslave, subjugate and oppress tens of millions of people. Yet people have a right to be racist and use racist slurs, promote White Power music and speech, and have the freedom to publish newspaper articles that denigrate certain religions. The portuguese and spanish wiped out over 54 Million indiginous people in South America.THey used the Industrial Might of their countries to systematically slaughter and elminate these individuals. So again, what exactly are the ground that holds the holocaust and the murder of millions of Jews higher than every other sequence of genocide, and mass murder for ethnic, religious, or economic reasons? And please don't try to flap the stupid straw man of agreeing with the holocaust by simply asking these questions as some sort of defence. I'd actually like an answer to the question.
