Holocaust Denial

[s~Z]

>>>I don't understand what rj is trying to accomplish by denying or 
otherwise obscuring the fact that they were slaves; in so doing, his 
rhetoric comes dangerously close to that of the Holocaust deniers.  I 
want to believe that rj is not a Holocaust denier, and I am not 
calling him a Holocaust denier, but in this case -- as in rj's 
previous obfuscations in this Pynchon-L discussion thread -- what he 
says could be said to carry echoes of the rhetoric used by Holocaust 
deniers.<<<

After such a potent quote in support of your argument, why add this?
