People do not arrive at holocaust denial through an honest appraisal of history, they do so because they are already set on an ideology and they dislike the fact they are burdened by its association with mass genocide
No one here is falling for your claim that you are merely interested in freedom of expression. If you want to support holocaust denial then do so but do not try and pretend that your only stake in this discussion is to uphold free speech

It is a freedom of speech issue. But you are wrong about Holocaust Deniers being exclusively from the "extreme right". David Cole, an atheistic Jew, made a famous documentary in the early 90s questioning certain aspects of the Holocaust. He disappeared from the public and changed his name in 1997 when the JDL put a 25 thousand dollar bounty on his head. The documentary can still be seen on youtube but don't waste your time. If you'll forgive me, I seriously doubt you have the capability for independent thought on this issue.
