Neo-Nazi Nabbed
Ernst Zündel was sentenced to the maximum five years in prison today in Mannheim, Germany, for Holocaust denial, which is a violation of laws against racial sedition in both Germany and Austria. The charges against him stemmed from an anti-Semitic website he ran out of Canada. Kudos to the Canucks for doing the right thing and extraditing him at Germany's request.I can't wait for Iranian Pres. Ahmadinejad's next state visit to Berlin.

that one root looks like a big testicle.
Shame on the Canadians for supporting censorship. Holocaust denail is a joke, not a crime. The fact that it is a crime is a joke. A killing joke, to coin a phrase.
Incitement isn't protected here either, my friend, nor should it be. If I shout an anti-Semitic slur in the face of a Jew, that's assault in most (all?) states, and rightfully has the same legal status as punching someone in the nose. The law Zündel broke was incitement to racial hatred (Volksverhetzung), which is illegal here as well. It's just taken more seriously in Germany & Austria for, um, historical reasons.
I don't want him in my family.
I love when BA coins things.
Also, radishes make me sneeze.
They're nice and crunchy, though. And a mite peppery.
Yes, I like radishes.
But they make me sneeze.
