Censorship?

The World Indymedia Centre is parroting Big Brother's media agenda to incite a calculated response and no-one can comment on it or refute it. It is no better than a tabloid spin machine, if no independant comment can be included.
This article on David Irving in the US/IMC is biased and one-sided. It denies his right to free speech, or free travel because he dares to present an alternative viewpoint on the Third World War. Only the official version is permitted, or it's a hate crime. Is the Holocaust and it's implications not worthy of unfettered investigation or debate?
I may not agree with what you say, but I will die to defend your right to say it.
Portland, May 18 --Tonight, the internationally notorious British Holocaust denier and Hitler apologist David Irving will attempt to speak at an engagement somewhere in the Portland area. He is an icon of the international neo-Nazi movement, and a dangerous racist extremist who has incited nazi skinheads in Germany to carry out violent acts against immigrant workers.
The time and place of the Irving hate rally has been kept secret by its racist organizers, but an Emergency Anti-Nazi Mobilization Committee is working to uncover its whereabouts and start time, and will coordinate a response to Irving's appearance. A toll-free Mobilization Hotline has been set up and it will be updated, as information becomes available. Portland antiracists are asked to be on alert and prepare to mobilize to confront Irving and his fans. Please monitor the Hotline and this site, and hurry to the gathering site when it is announced.
Irving, a so-called 'revisionist historian' has written books that glorify German dictator and Nazi party leader Adolf Hitler and other war criminals like Josef Goebbels. His pseudo-scholarly works contend -- among other things -- that the Nazis didnít really murder 6 million European Jews, and that no gas chambers existed in the extermination camp at Auschwitz. His writings seek to vindicate Hitler personally of the mass slaughter of Jews and others during the Holocaust, asserting that the Fuerer had no knowledge of the death camps until at least 1943, if at all.
Irving is banned from entering Germany, Canada and Australia. He has lectured to violent racist and rightwing groups around the world, including William Pierce's National Alliance in the U.S., the neo-Nazi Heritage Front in Canada, and groups like the German People's Union (DVU) and the NPD in Germany and Austria.
