Re: FRANCE: French far-rightist fined for Holocaust remarks
Quote:
'Such laws' are not 'plentiful', there is ONE. That law is not there to counter racism, but Holocaust denial and nothing else. Since the FN is in the Assemblée and in the EP, how can there be a stranglehold on them ? That anti-Semite was convicted for his Holocaust denial, not for his membership of the FN or anything else. Note that you're admitting the FN is fascist.

The lack of 'fascist' (Right of Lenin?) party presence in America may have more to do with a two party system with a virtual strangle hold on the political machinery of the nation then anything else - Frank I do not believe the FN has any seats in the United States Senate or House of Representatives!

Only in your mind.

On June 10, 2004 Bardot was convicted by a French court of "inciting racial hatred" and fined 5,000 €, which was the fourth such conviction/fine she has faced from French courts. Brigitte Bardot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia But human rights groups the Movement Against Racism And For Friendship Between Peoples (MRAP) and the Human Rights League said they were planning to file a complaint in court. "This work is unacceptable. It is a real call for racism, discrimination and violence," MRAP President Mouloud Aounit told French news agency AFP. Ms Bardot was convicted in 1997, 1998 and 2000 for inciting racial hatred in various written articles and comments made in interviews, including a complaint in 1998 over the growing number of mosques in France "while our church-bells fall silent for want of priests".

Second, if one is going to be accused of hoilocaust denial shoud the exact words not be known? 'concentration camp whining' is certainly insensitive but not denial. Quote:

Frank, I gave you everything you could possibly need to understand the issue, even in violation of the forum rules.
If you still don't understand, then learn French. I'm done with this thread.

Re: FRANCE: French far-rightist fined for Holocaust remarks
Everyone who is reading this thread, even Frank, understands the issue. You are arguing in favor of a law that is hypocritical, establishes the precedent for squashing outside opinions, and frankly insults the dignity of Holocaust victims. There has not been a single logical argument that supports keeping this law on the law books.

Ask yourself WOI what is it that the governments of Europe are so afraid of that they have to pass a law that says no one can question the holocost. [quote] Quote:

David Duke is another example of a racist that tried and failed to gain national office. Strom Thurmond and a Democrat Robert Byrd were both in the Senate and at one time had been memebers of the KKK alegedly. Fact of the matter is most ´people who think this waz never get to national office because we allow them to spout off their beliefs before they run. The are essentially rlegated to ridicule for the most part. Sure there are some like Frank who look up to people like Duke, but they are by far a minority, vocal but still a minority. No nation is perfect, and I have never claimed the US is. However I would rather face our deamons that simply act like they do not exist by passing laws that say no one can disagree with the current government view on a particular issue.

In the early 1940s, when Byrd was 24 years old, he joined the Ku Klux Klan, which he had seen holding parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, as a child. His father had also been a Klan member[1]. Byrd was unanimously elected to be the leader, known as the Exalted Cyclops, of his local chapter Robert Byrd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |

Re: FRANCE: French far-rightist fined for Holocaust remarks
I am not your 'dear' for one and second you used the term 'allegedly' which was indicative of doubt on your part as to the factual nature of your assertion. Of course being the helpful nice guy that I am I |
