Did you know this person lives here?
"Germar Rudolf (see ASW 1995/6 and subsequent reports), for example, spearheads a Holocaust denial campaign not only in Germany but worldwide, ... Currently Rudolf lives in Huntsville, AL, US."

Not sure where he lives. Looks like he has been deported and served time in Germany.
Wether I like what he says or not which is NOT  , the right to believe and freedom of speech is still a right in this country.....for now.

Sarges Dad, you are right. I sure don't like the message, but they have the right to live somewhere. If fools didn't have that right, the world would be a lot less congested.
A little town I used to live in, Fenton, MI, used to have one of the worst hate-mongers living there, who also ran a scam for raising money for "Police" (not really-- he did a phone campaign and kept the money). You never know.
It is difficult to believe that people can deny historical fact.

Yep, he has the right in the USA to free speech. That is freedom from government retribution though, not freedom from public criticism. I was weirded out by the thought of being around him. |

Believe it. And you'd be surprised how many, too. Actually Holocaust denial, along with crap about how American involvement in World War II was unethical and "imperialistic" is being disseminated among young people in some circles these days. If you thought even the kookiest of "War is not the answer" people would at least concede that involvement in World War II was necessary, think again. Some even like to blame the Jews for being so devious as to pull the puppet strings and mastermind false history.
This along with conspiracy theories about how our own government staged the 9/11, and moral equivalency when comparing the Israeli military with crazy murdering terrorist groups.
I know it's primarily just kooks, but they are loud kooks and sometimes, they worry me. It all seriously makes me want to puke. |

Well I am afraid that all our freedoms of what we can say will be taken away due to all the political correctness crap.
It is sort of like the hate crime law.......All violent crimes are hate.....duh. |

True, I don't like the direction our country is currently headed either. |

So what. We also have murderers, pedophiles, and thieves. I'm more afraid of them than this idiot.
Holocaust denial is not a crime in the USA, like it is in Germany.

I know of a former WWII Nazi who lives in Huntsville -came with the von Braun contingent after the war. Nice chap actually.
But yeah the Holocaust was a great attrocity - just like the Stalinist murder of 30 million Russians or the genocide in Rwanda more recently.
I just think some people like to say how much they hate people or groups who seem worthy of hating and it makes them feel better about themselves. Unless they are wanted for a crime, pointing out that a crummy person lives here is a bit tacky to me, honestly.
