Why do they hate anyone who doesn't share their trendy "right on" views?
I their position so weak it will not stand any opposition?

[youngmafbog]

You've hit the nail on the head mate. They rarely have any real argument so just seek to silence anyone who dares oppose their views. Noo labour are of course excellent at this type of smear and silence campaign.

[Beatrice35]

Not a labour supporter or ever have been yet people who deny the holocaust from existing are to be banned- rightly so! Have Jewish ancestry + anyone who deigns to deny the Holocaust needs to be oppossed as dangerous talk like this is very disturbing + deeply disrespectful to any Jewish peoples or to anyone with any common sense or anyone who served to defeat the Nazi's in WWII. It is not just labour as a party who oppose such evil individuals like this- think all the parties are united in standing up to people such as this who try to say history was something completely different to the truth.

[DrFilth]

Beatrice35 if you read it , it says

In 1987 he controversially called the Nazi Holocaust a "detail of history

The head of the The head of the Socialist group, German MEP Martin Schulz, said he was "concerned that a Holocaust denier could preside over the inaugural session" on 14 Jul


notice he says detail

The head of the Socialist group says Holocaust denier



detail.......denier ......big difference ?

The European Parliament continues to shoot itself in the foot. No one would have paid much attention to Le Pen if he had been given the job as protocol dictates, but now he is in a no lose situation. If he gets the job, people will be eager to hear what he says and if he doesn't get the job, who looks undemocratic?

[The Sherman]

and do we know what context he said "detail of history"?

did that have the words just... a detail of history or maybe a small....detail of history?

i find it very had to believe that anyone would just come out and say it is a detail of history as that would make it an absolute beningn comment. So before im so quick to judge(sideswipe at YOU mr git there) I would wait and investigate in what context it was said.


On a personal note for anyone who denies the holocaust to be in such high power is disgusting and highlights something very wrong with society!

[Gromit]

Did you know,

That Le pen was banned from standing for the European parliament for a physical assault on a Socilaist candidate Annette Peulvast-Bergeal/

or

That Le Pen has been convicted of racism or inciting racial hatred at least six times?

or

He sued a newspaper which claimed he was a torturer when he served in Algeria, and famously lost the case when the newspaper successfully proved its story.

Not the type of person who should hold one of Europe's most prestigious positions by virtue of the fact that he is the oldest MEP.

[DrFilth]

shermy if he says it never happened he is a plank.

i am going off what is printed on the link ....OK !


::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

[The Sherman]

yes Dr Filth that is perfectly ok?

but as demonstrated by Gromit there is ususally more to the story than meets the eye and for the sory for him to be based on "a detail of histroy" is naive on yours and the editors part!

If I say
"The holocaust was a detail of history" well no matter who I am theres no story thats just a factual statement. but you get people like AOG running to use it in some kind of spin campaign against a "lefty"

[DrFilth]

Sherman how did he get the job ? people must have voted for him.
maybe there are a lot of planks in france ?

i did not vote for brown maybe they think we are planks in this country

[jake-the-peg]

As opposed to the right's immediate acceptance of anybody that disagrees with it?

Both sides can be intolerant of those who don't share their views but the right is also intolerant of:

Immigrants
Homosexuals
Lesbians
Unions
Social Workers
Environmentalists

or basically anybody who is not like themselves.

Infact that's it isn't it?

The left and right are both intolerant of each others views, it's just that the right is intolerant of other peoples lifestyles too

[DrFilth]

so jaky are you right wing or left

did you ever find a link with me slagging off asylum seeker bikers ?

you don't like bikers very much do you jaky

If he'd crashed into a pub that would have been poetic justice don't you think?

[R1Geezer]

well done jake for actually latching on to the main point.

To all the Holocaust yada yada yada! mob, all irrelevant, I'm not talking about that. This point is they want to change the rules because they don't like the bloke, end of. Julnar is spot on, this would probably have passed un noticed had all the Lefties ot spat the dummy out.

[anotheoldgit]

but the right is also intolerant of:

Immigrants
Homosexuals
Lesbians
Unions
Social Workers
Environmentalists

Who says we should be forced to tolerate them?

Isn't it a free country anymore?

[IggyB]

yeah those flipping lefties with their oh so trendy views like not denying the holocaust or saying the jews deserved it etc ... come on almost everyone must be to the left of the spectrum compared to this guy!

[sp1814]

The Holocaust 'yada yada yada mob'.

Jaw-dropping.

[brionon]

As opposed to Right wingers ? Who are laid back and tolerant to all ?

[ludwig]

The extreme left and extreme right - two cheeks of the same intolerant @rse, to coin a phrase. Both motivated by hatred.
But it's not just lefties who object to Le Pen or other holocaust denyers is it? it's most of us, or am I wrong?

[Beatrice35]

ludwig you are right, for certain. Well put, Ludwig.Thank goodness someone with good reason has spoken up here, too!!
Beatrice

[DrFilth]

Beatrice35 is he a Holocaust denier or did he say detail
