Level up: 52%, 44 Points needed | |  Mass Holocaust grave found in Ukraine
I am posting this story for all of those who still deny that the holocaust ever happened.  KIEV, Ukraine - A mass grave holding the remains of thousands of Jews killed by the Nazis has been found in southern Ukraine near the site of what was once a concentration camp, a Jewish community representative said Tuesday.

Level up: 15%, 47 Points needed | | I believe that in the European Union they are trying to make Holocaust denial a crime.
Thoughtcrime, anyone?

Thoughtcrime, anyone? | Do you really want what you think to be the subject of a crime? I think not, and I don't care to be arrested for it. | |

Thoughtcrime, anyone? | Quite frankly, I can't help but wonder if you could work in something similar under existing U.S. laws.
If the "denial" incorporates slander or liberal, it could easily be seen as legally actionable.
And let's face it. Some of the "stories" you hear about denial often talk about how the "Jew" created this lie.
Obviously there are some grey areas. If no mention of who was supposedly responsible for the claimed "fraud", there is no target for the slander/libel.
Also, I suspect it is easier to perpetuate such libel / slander if you avoid naming names but instead blame the general group, although I can't help but think such a cop-out should not be allowed.
It's hardly any less slanderous (IMO) if you are "vague" about it...

slan·der
n.
Oral communication of false statements injurious to a person's reputation.
A false and malicious statement or report about someone.
li·bel
n.
A false publication, as in writing, print, signs, or pictures, that damages a person's reputation.
The act of presenting such material to the public
