Well, they would, wouldn't they? From Mark Crispin Miller via The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies. Excerpt: A new U.S. government report refers to Holocaust-deniers as "scholars and researchers"..."Holocaust-deniers are not scholars or researchers -- they are bigots who try to hide their anti-semitism behind the mask of fake scholarship," said Wyman Institute Director Dr. Rafael Medoff. "For a U.S. government report to call them 'scholars' gives them the legitimacy they desperately crave but do not deserve." But why all the hub-bub? It's just like "intelligent design," right? You know, the rejection of evolution that's rejected by 99.5 percent of actual scientists. The cranky ID minority funded by billionaire Christian "Dominionists" are also treated as legitimate scholars by the Bushists. Heck, why not just teach Holocaust denial in the public schools? You know, "teach the controversy," as the Bushists say about ID. This is what you get when you denigrate science and reason in the name of political expediency. The Bushists want -- need -- to spread moral chaos throughout society, in order to mask their own crimes and push their radical agenda upon a demoralized, confused, divided and atomized public. This is a sinister ideology, and it will bear evil fruit.
