What would happen if he was refused space? Could he sue? After all, if the message is free speech and the airwaves are being sold with a "this station is not responsible for and doesn't support the message..." disclaimers, they why would it be refused?
It is, after all, FREE SPEECH.
Wait... does that mean free speech has limits? FIRE!

Simply denying the holocaust is just dumb. But it does not cross the line into hate. In fact "the" holocaust is a pr campaign. There were many "holocausts". So, you could, in fact, deny it was "the" holocaust. I am sure many in Cambodia would agree. So there are arguments there. As far as some of his other beliefs, well I suppose he needs to keep them to himself. But "the" holocaust denial is a valid argument not a criminal act. Again, history is full of lies written by victors. Bust Ernst on a lot of things, but it is his right to deny "the" holocaust and howl it as loud as he likes.
