By oracknows on February 16, 2006.

In a continuing series of posts, for the benefit of new readers (and a trip down memory lane for old readers), I now present:

    Holocaust Heroes and Martyrs Remembrance Day
    Today, April 25, 2006 is Holocaust Heroes and Martyrs Remembrance Day. In commemoration, here's a list of almost everything I've written regarding the Holocaust, Holocaust denial, and anti-Semitism since the beginning: 60 years ago today: The evacuation of Auschwitz and start of the death march…
    David Irving on trial for Holocaust denial
    Well, today's the day. After all the waiting, it's finally here. David Irving is going to stand trial for Holocaust denial in Austria today. Those of you who have read my old blog a while know what a despicable human being I consider David Irving to be. He's clearly an anti-Semite, most famously…
    Cothran keeps defending Holocaust denial

Inst. blogger and Focus on the Family stooge Martin Cothran would get to defending Holocaust denial in the abstract, rather than defending the Holocaust denial of Pat Buchanan specifically. In comments at his blog, Cothran inches closer. I observed that: You say…
    How I discovered Holocaust denial

    I hope, if you check out Deborah Lipstadt's piece on the Northwestern U. newspaper allowing Dr. Butz to publish a letter explaining his 'position,' you check the fedback to the editorial explaining their decision. 20 letters, 18 (!) of them including anti-Semitic comments -- one even directs readers to a speech by William Pierce. The only two against Butz are one one-liner and one by the "Public Editor" of the publication.

    What the ---- is going on at Northwestern? Aren't there any skeptics, historians, scientists, or even non-idiots there?

    If there are any readers or bloggers linked here who are connected with the school, can't they do something?

    Sorry for the slight hysteria, but this is SCARY.
