Why Deny?

Facts may be refuted, but there's no way to refute a person's personal opinion. Additionally, it can be educational to learn why a person comes to a specific viewpoint, which I think was the intention of this thread.

Exactly. I'm very interested in their outlook on this particular question, and would welcome any deniers response. This is not intended as a trap or a way to enter into discussion regarding proofs and opinions. As I said in the OP, I generally steer clear of that kind of debate.

The overall concept of why someone is a denier is what intrigues me.

It would seem that they deny the Holocaust so they can have another one.

Actually one of the major foudners of the Denial movement admitted that denying the Holocaust was the first step in the "political rehablitation" of Nazi Germany.
You have a small percentage of fools who will believe anything, a small percentage of people who will embrace any "unconventional" "daring" and "anti Establishement " theory to prove how edgy they are, and a few sadly misguided Libertarians who support Holocaust denial because of their belief the US never should have been involved in World War 2, but other then these 3 small groups, the Denial movement is filled with Anti Semetic/Neo Nazis of the worst kind.

Dear God... I've always steered clear of Holocaust Deniers. 9/11 Nuts, to me, are almost comical. Holocaust Deniers, though, are just downright disgusting human beings. I already have a below average opinion of humanity in general, but they truly anger me.

So two days and no MaGZ or any other deniers offering their insights.

What insights did you expect? The entire movement is filled from top to bottom with people who would swear black is white if they thought they could somehow exonerate Hitler or denigrate da Joos.

There's no factual basis for their belief that will stand up to a few minutes of Google-fu in the hands of a bright ten year old. And most of them know it.

Do you expect our resident deniers to come out and say that they're anti-Semitic trash hoping to finish the genocide that they deny happened in the first place? And if they say something else, why on earth would you believe anything coming out of their keyboard....

Really, this is like asking a convicted murderer on his way to a parole hearing about his personal relationship with Jesus. No matter what the truth is, only an idiot would tell you anything other than what he thought would make him look good.

No. And that wasn't part of my OP.

You seem upset with my asking this. Is there some problem with my question in your eyes?

Yes. It's a pointless waste of time to ask a question to which you already know the answer you will receive.

I have no idea what answer I would get. Since no deniers have responded, I still don't know. But I do apologize for any frustration my curiosity has caused you.
