Holocaust Denial Lunacy
I disagree with Sigmund, Carl, and Alfred. Denying the Holocaust is lunacy, but it should not be a crime. If one were to put people in jail for denying the 'truth', our jails would be full of Elvis spotters. Just because the truth that they deny is so disgusting and evil, does not give government the right to outlaw the telling of lies.

Besides, what government do you trust enough to decide the difference between 'opinion' and 'truth'?
Update: More from Wretchard:
But laws establishing "official truth" create categories of the Unmentionable into which subjects like the Jihad, feminism, abortion and Global Warming -- all the assertions, half-truths and humbug of the world -- will presently seek refuge.

Agreed.
Stupidity is now a crime in Austria, what next ten years for denying the world is round?

Support free speech:
Somebody needs to begin the "Buy Danish,
Boycott Austria" campaign.

Europeans don't have free speech - they have perscribed privileges grant by the state - which can be redefined or suspended according to the needs of the state. Get use to it. Don't ever confuse US with them (Euros) just because they dress well and have cable.

Holocaust Deniers = Elvis Spotters
That's the best analogy I have heard yet! Did you know Elvis would be in his 70's at this point? Wrap your brain around that one... yikes!
