"well-organised" "well-financed" "politically-muscular"

I think he over did it there. He is just drumming up publicity.

Dawkins is basically insane, what is even more insane though is that he has a following that thinks he is a genius.

What a nut. This is a guy who has his own forum where deniers have posted, and I think he has even been critical of Israel. Yet look how far away he is from seeing the hoax.

In general I'm leery of these self-styled "geniuses" like Michael Shermer, or even Carl Sagan, who gain a following as a super genius voice of reason. With the late Carl Sagan I don't know enough about him.

And when he mentions "well organized, well-financed, and politically muscular group" --I can only think of Hillel.

Pseudo intellectual Richard Dawkins is in the business of selling books. Atheism is now the current trend which sells books. Holocaust revisionism doesn't. In order to sell books, Dawkins is willing to state that white is black and black is white. For a moment I thought he was describing revisionists but absurdly, according to him, the establishment Holocaust historians are the ones who are being harassed, persecuted and attacked. One could almost shed a tear. He is a truly despicable person, I have much more respect for the type of Noam Chomsky who do not address the taboo directly but at least not join the inquisition, which is what Dawkins does.

Richard Dawkins is an ambiguity.

He is definetly trying to subvert science.
