Excuse me Nz National press Club if you must hear this wanker speak please feel free to go to him. We don’t need the fuckwit here.
He is obviously a loon and even more so if he believes his vist will still take place.
Take your looniness elsewhere fuckwit. Freedom of speech be dammed…ok freedom of speech is fine for Mr Fuckwit if the men with white coats are waiting on the side line so he can have the opportunity to express his freedom of speech to the proffessional he obviously needs.
Well, instead of thinking “hey, who’s this guy and why is he banned? What don’t they want me to hear?”, people will instead hear his ideas and think “this guy is a twat,” which is a vastly more informed position. Or, they won’t hear about him at all because no-one will care, which is also great. People like Irving’s ideas are more than stupid enough to disqualify themselves on their own merit; by silencing him we only lend him credibility of a kind.
Abhorrent as his prejudices still no doubt are, did he not recently admit that millions of Jews did die in concentration camps? I know he still denies that there were death camps like Birkenau and Treblinka, but in terms of numbers (if not method) of those killed I was under the impression that he had recanted to some extent.
If his books get banned it would just increase his sales. I would buy them and add it to my growing collection of banned and semi-banned books (The Satanic Verses, Mein Kampf, The Communist Manifest, Lolita, Justine, The Bible, The Koran, Catcher in the Rye, Huck Finn, Little Black Sambo, some book by Taslima Nasreen, etc.) Freedom of speech is much too important to be sacrificed for a little unimportant twit like David Irwing – not that I know much about him.
