Victory for free speech: Spain rescinds its holocaust denial law

[johngr]

Here's a link for anyone who speaks German: http://www.welt.de/politik/article1347460/Holocaust-Leugnung_nicht_mehr_strafbar.html Has anyone here seen anything on US televison or read anything in the English-speaking press about this (I doubt you have and I know the reason why.)

Victory for freedom!

I found this english language article. http://balder.org/judea/Spain-Overturns-Holocaust-Denial-Law.php on a Danish nationalist site but nothing from the Anglo-American MSM. What a surprise.

Wow, mad props to those Spanish judges.

"The judges did not accept the argument that disputing the Holocaust deprived the Jews of their human dignity and threatened their existence."

Amen.

"The judges did not accept the argument that disputing the Holocaust deprived the Jews of their human dignity and threatened their existence."

That non-sequitur is the convenient rationale for just about any free speech-inhibiting law.
