<< And if you are for free speech, you are in favor of 
 exactly the kind of speech that said 'scholars' are making; that is, speech 
 that isn't in accordance with your own thoughts (and even in this case, 
 history truths). >>
I'm for free speech, too, but it's different to say such things like Nolte in 
Germany or in another country. It's also different to speak about Stalin in 
Russia than in other countries. You understand what I mean? Revisionist 
theories are not forbidden in Germany except the "Auschwitz lie". And for me 
it's a bad joke that people who are against free speech uses free speech for 
their propaganda. It's a dilemma, I know. But I think it's absolutely 
necessary to fight against such revisionist theories politically.
