see post #167.

Where you refer to poor Irving being "attacked by PC forces".

Irving wrote garbage- which you pretty much conceded. Lipstadt wrote criticism of the garbage.

Where is the attack? Is Lipstadt's criticism an attack? Doesn't she have a right to her opinion?

Irving attacked by filing suit. An absolute defense to a defamation suit is truth. Lipstadt was found to have told the truth about Irving- that he is a liar and an anti-Semite.

The mystery for you is how the world wide Jewish conspiracy got to this Gentile English judge who heard the case. Get back to us when you find out.

I really have no idea whether Irving wrote garbage. His theory is obviously bizarre. I have no idea whether he deserved to lose his case either. I have not read the book nor studied the case. I do know enough about how courts work to discount entirely the decision of the judge.

Irving isn't an anti-Semite (unlike some other Holocaust deniers like Ernst Zundel). He was just a man who thought he had discovered something important about the Second World War and wanted to revealed his findings to the world.

For this he has been besmirched and demonized. Anyone who tried to defend him from the accusation has been tarred with the same brush. This is not defending yourself from anti-semitism. It is witchhunting.
