Allow me to quote from the January 1992 newsletter of the Institute for
Historial Review.  The IHR is the leading North American neo-Nazi
organization, a fact for which I will gladly provide as much
evidence as desired.  The article's title is "HOLOCAUST REVISIONISM IN
PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS: Bush, Buchanan and Duke and 'Holocaust Denial.'"
(The IHR's main focus is attempting to prove that the Holocaust never
occurred.  They refer to this as "Holocaust Revisionism.")

>>>>>>>>>>
     President George Bush recently re-confirmed that Holocaust
Revisionism is just about the most "politically incorrect" view anyone
can dare hold in today's America.
     ...[5 paragraphs deleted, including one that proudly announces that
David Duke "captured a majority of White votes"]...
     Patrick Buchanan, a significantly more formidable Republican
presidential candidate, has similarly been accused of sympathy with or
even outright support for Holocaust Revisionism.  His most vehement
critics on this score have been Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz and
former _New York Times_ executive director Abe Rosenthal, both
nationally syndicated columnists.
     In a syndicated column written in early 1990, Buchanan cast doubt
on the generally accepted view of Treblinka as a notorious German
"death camp" where hundreds of thousands of Jews were gassed to death.
     In early December, a few days before he officially declared that
he would challenge President Bush for the White House, Buchanan
responded to accusations of Revisionism during an interview on the ABC
television news program "This Week With David Brinkley" (Sunday, Dec.
8.)
     Journalist George Will, a veteran "Israel-firster," closely
questioned the former White House communications director and
nationally-recognized public affairs commentator about his allegedly
Revisionist view of Treblinka.
     Buchanan responded by saying that Treblinka was certainly a
terrible place where hundreds of thousands of Jews were taken, and
where thousands of Jews died.  His somewhat evasive answer thus once
again implicitly rejected the view of the U.S. and Israeli governments
that hundreds of thousands of Jews were put to death in the small camp.
<<<<<<<<<

Now, you can think what you like.  But apparently the largest
anti-Semitic organization in America thinks that Buchanan is on their
side.  (And, if they're quoting him correctly--not that I f think
they'd quote their own grandmothers correctly--it would appear that
Buchanan at least has doubts as to whether the Holocaust even
_occurred_.  Does anyone have a transcript of that section of "This
Week with David Brinkley"?

This may not concern you.  But it concerns the hell out of me.
