33. my point
was that we are not discussing whether the Holocaust, OR the deaths that resulted from WWII were good. We are discussing the proper way a society deals with speech it doesn't like.

Would you support a law that allowed holocaust deniers or those who espouse nazism to be jailed here in the US?
