Ernst Nolte

[davemarc]

I'm sure George Orwell, whose 1984 was invoked by Pynchon in Vineland,
would be disgusted but not surprised to see how his image and term
"thoughtcrime" have themselves been perverted in a 1984-ish way by the
likes of CODOH and the Institute for Historical Review, two enterprises
that are devoted to distorting responsible Holocaust research under the
guise of "revisionism."  Naturally, Ernst Nolte would be viewed as a martyr
of the cause, along with David Irving and Fred Leuchter.  

This is the second time this year that I've seen Orwell invoked by this
ilk.

PS:  The home page for CODOH is festooned with a (Picasso?) lithograph of
Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.  How revolting.  How ironic.
