Ernst Zundel Jailed For Holocaust Heresy

The Question
Eternal
It also lends a metric tonne (yes, when preceded by "metric" it's spelled tonne) of weight to Holocaust skepticism. People don't get imprisoned for saying things that are incorrect, they get imprisoned for saying things that are dangerous to those in power.
The Question
Eternal
The fact remains that he's in prison for speaking an opinion people don't like. That's going to wake a lot of people up. It won't be the stuff of Jerry Bruckheimer action flicks, certainly; more likely it'll sit at the back of peoples' minds and be a contributing factor to the thing that eventually does cause the everyman to blow up, lose his cool and take iron to the streets.
The Question
Eternal
He didn't commit his "crime" in Germany.
The Question

No, Jack, he didn't. His "crime" was committed in Canada via his company Samisdat Publishing -- before Canada adopted thoughtcrime, er, hate crime legislation -- and the major issue has been with a web site started by his wife in Tennessee. He never published a thing in Germany on the subject, and had left Germany before he ever started publishing. He didn't go back to Germany until INS deported him for missing an appointment they didn't bother to inform him he was to attend, then Canada deported him to Germany based on evidence that was withheld from his attorneys on the ludicrous claim that he was a threat to Canada's national security.
In a nutshell: He was railroaded.

He was railroaded to get him to Germany, as his opinion wasn't criminal in the U.S. or Canada at the time.

More fools they that put him there. As an object of ridicule, he would have faded. As a martyr, they will have made him immortal and his cause sterling.

You don't understand that yet, I know. But you will. For better or worse, the 6 million are woven into the fabric. It won't come undone. You all won't organize into more than a comparative handful this time, should your little weenie's get stiff enough to actually try to organize again.
Youu'll be crushed quickly and efficiently, too. I suspect you all already know this, which is why you've done nothing for so long. Well actually, you've been trying to start small fires and push it all together into a fiery holocaust but most people don't give a shit about "racial purity". It is kind of sadly funny to see you trying to insist it didn't happen, though.
Sounds kind of isolationist, and out of step these days.

Jack, have you been smoking anything, eh... "special"... lately? You seem to have gone a touch rabid.

There's something very fucked up with the system if you can't voice your opinion no matter how whacked up it is.
Ernst Zundel welcome to 1984.

You know, I get a little off when you start acting as though ignorant racist assholes are martyrs to some cause that really doesn't even exist.
As though it were some legitimate cause you're trying to champion.
It's not a "cause", it's just recycled hate. You have yet to show that the Germans didn't kill 6 million.
