"taking away freedom of thought or freedom of expression is essentially fascist doctrine"

This is a very important point. When my dad was active in the ADL, he invited me to an ADL dinner. At your seat, was an ADL publication, highlighting their achievements from the previous year. The first thing they listed was having the book "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" removed from several libraries.

Is this was we should be doing, removing books from libraries? I don't think so. Let's educate people to tell them The Protocols of The Elders of Zion is an antisemitic diatribe, but let's make an effort to keep it in libraries, not to ban it.

Likewise, let's take pains to expose the lies of the holocaust deniers, not to deny their right to free speech.
