I bought "Mein Kampf," which sold a lot of copies in Germany

My understanding is that it was a publishing controversy when "Mein Kampf"
was first published here in the USA...but the publisher said it was done
to expose Hitler's evil ideology.

While WalMart screwed up this time, what some publisher should do
(maybe already has) is put out an "enhanced" edition of The Protocols...
with clear labeling and added chapters that explains the history of the document
and how a bunch of racist boneheads have embraced it.

Under the circumstances any seller of Mein Kampf or Protocals should probably contribute a substantial portion of the proceeds to charity, a Holocaust Museum, something like that.

Agreed. This description is not one you'd put on a book being sold for historical interest:

The description, now withdrawn from the Wal-Mart Web site, said, "If ... The Protocols are genuine (which can never be proven conclusively), it might cause some of us to keep a wary eye on world affairs. We neither support nor deny its message. We simply make it available for those who wish a copy."

That would be future (now former) Calfornia Senator Alan Cranston.
