It's been an unbelievable day. As you can see from an earlier post both the AP and UP picked up the story. I did a number of interviews, including one with the LA Times, which admitted that it was playing "catch up" with the New York Times. They may have been playing catch up, but they did a great interview. Haven't seen the story yet.
I also wrote a summary of the situation for History News Network at George Mason University which we will post here later. [The "We" is really the unbelievably generous Hilary Ostrov, who has helped me keep my head above water.]
Even the broadcast media has weighed in. MSNBC wanted me to appear on Scarborough Country with a representative from CSpan. [I keep typing CSpam, could that be a Freudian slip?] I happily agreed. I am anxious to be in communication with them.
CSpan declined. MSNBC decided not to do the story.
I guess they wanted balance.

Ms. Lipstadt is defaming Irving and she is gloating over her power fight with C-SPAN. Ms. Lipstadt is a game player, she cannot honestly say that people are not being deceived when she uses the term "Holocaust Denier" and that it is causing unnecessary anguish for many people. I am sure many people hearing about the "Holocaust Denier" would be SHOCKED to learn that it is actually Lipstadt's outragous lie. I am sure people would be shocked to learn that Irving said at the Libel Trial, "I do not deny that there was some kind of gassing at gas chambers in Birkenau, it is highly likely that there was." (Emphasis mine. For the layperson it should be explained with regards to the words "Birkenau" and "Auschwitz" that it is often refered to as "Auschwitz-Birkenau" or the "Auschwitz camp at Birkenau") and keep in mind that Irving said this at the trial with Lipstadt, the very trial Lipstadt's book is about!

Fourteen people!?! You have totally distorted the whole thing, and proved my point.
That is so far from the comparision to the numbers of victims of the Holocaust that it is a dishonest analogy.
Rome committed the Holocaust as the Industrial-Age, mass-produced "ritual persecution" they'd accomplished against the Jews, and others, over the preceding thousands of years by "sword and flame."
Read Goldhagen's "A Moral Reckoning."
C-SPAN, like the Knight of Malta-led CIA which assassinated JFK six-weeks after he ordered our withdrawal from French Roman Catholic Indochina, is Roman Catholic.
C-SPAN wants to air Irving for a reason.
Rome's Fifth Column Rockefeller/Bush/Nixon-faction is "alive and well" even after their treason and lies of 9/11, WMD and false war for Rome's Chaldean Iraqi minority.
I wrote, "Fourteen people!?! You have totally distorted the whole thing, and proved my point."
"debunking the idiots" asked, "How about pointing out the distortion, instead of merely making a claim?"
debunking the idiots, when you use a number extremely low like fourteen as an example of a "Gettysburg denier" you prove my point. 14 out of the total deaths at Gettysburg? (there is not complete agreement on the total deaths abut we could use the total of 10,000) "At least 10,000 soldiers were killed or mortally wounded in the three-day Battle of Gettysburg." Lipstadt must have given you the wrong idea of what Irving thinks the total number of Jews is who died in the Holocaust is. You can't think it is fair to equate 14 out of 10,000 to something between 1,000,000 out of 6,000,000 to 4,000,000 out of 6,000,000. Come on! Lipstadt clearly has libeled the man if you think that the percentages between those comparisons are anywhere close. Take what Irving said the number of deaths were at the least, 1,000,000. Do you realize that you are saying that 17% of the total is about the same as estimating 0.14% of the total? Using that percentage, you think Irving thinks only 8,400 Jews died????
