152. Since, Mr. Jefferson
The man is actively working to build the Neo-Nazi movement, and hopes to put it in a position to carry out policies of extermination again, he is fairly denounced as inciting to murder, and working to achieve it on a mass scale.

It is important to remember that there is no real sincerity in the deniers: denial is but a tool for re-habilitating a political movement, to reduce opposition to it, and position it to gain power with which to enforce their hate once more. Press one of these types hard enough, and invariably he will blurt out that the problem is that Hitler did not finish the job.

Free-speech absolutism is all very well, but as a practical matter ideals and absolutes of all sorts make a poor fit with the squishy mess of human affairs as they actually proceed....

"I want you to know, boys and girls, that there are people in this world who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that!"
