What's the Deal With Larry Pratt?

I tried asking a question on an old thread but received no answer, so I decided to post this here.

I have always been a big fan of Larry Pratt and particularly enjoyed his skewering of Piers Morgan on CNN, but now I am not so sure about Pratt.

Mr. Pratt is scheduled to appear at Freedompalooza over the July 4th holiday. The event is hosted by Paul Topete, from the band Poker Face.

Mr. Topete is on the record as having stated that the Holocaust was a hoax.

If this is the same Mr. Topete, and I am pretty sure it is, Pratt's giving a speech there is a tacit endorsement of Mr. Topete's denial of the Holocaust. As a child of two Holocaust survivors, this is naturally a topic of great interest to me.

If I have all the facts correct, I am no longer a fan of Mr. Pratt, and frankly I'd be disturbed to see any Conservatives who would still look up to him.

Here is a link to Freedomapalooza:

Here is a link to an article about Mr. Topete:

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Holocaust_denial

This is an excerpt from that link:

Paul Topete - Lead vocalist of the "Patriot" rock band Poker Face. On the band's on-line fourm, Topete, using the handle "Pokerkid", has made a number of anti-Semitic statements, including the following (reproduced verbatim):

“”"I am always amazaed at how many roads lead back to one of the largest if not THEE largest scam ever played on humanity... Yes that right... the HOLOHAUX aka holocaust. 1985 and 1988 Ernst Zundel DESTROYED the Myth known as the cult of holohauzianity. In a canadien court of law, Ernst zundel took on the biggest frauds in the SHOAH Industry, and showed them to be the frauds that they were. Names like Raoul Hilberg and Vrba. And several other parasites known to infest this worldly sham. Wake up people, You are being played for fools for you LACK KNOWLEDGE."[9]

If anyone here at FR is aware of any facts that would change my new opinion of Mr. Pratt, I would surely appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
