Go on the offense and put your opponent on the defense.
The key word here is "opponent". If you are dealing with one of the opposition, whose mind is permanently closed, in a public forum, then you are probably right. If you are talking privately to an open-minded person who might be persuaded, then a softer, less aggressive line is called for.
Re the Weber interview, yes he did poorly, but I wonder what monitors he had and how much he could see of what was going on, which affects precisely this issue of control. At one point he did not realise which of his opponents was speaking, and when the ovens were shown he did not appear to know what was on the screen going out to the public. Perhaps he only had static talking-head shots of his opponents, or worst of all, sound only. he was definitely il at ease.
Sorry. Accidental post in wrong thread. Pls delete.

Well, it does seem incredible that anybody should ask the question, but they are - Did the holocaust really happen?

You can't argue with semantics like that. I know from personal experience that people will make assumptions before they ask questions, and if you tell them that you deny the Holocaust without specifying what specifically that means, they can easily turn the conversation into an onslaught of stupid questions like "How can you deny that there were camps!" or "what about the bodies!"Friedrich Paul Berg wrote:The right answer to the question "Do you deny the holocaust?" is "YES!!!"
That answer certainly does not explain much so further questions will inevitably follow. It is there and then that one can respond with simple followup answers like: "No one was ever killed in gas chambers by the Nazis" and "the total numbers of Jews who died during the war was minuscule compared to what is alleged" and so on. The "YES" answer does NOT imply that you totally reject every claim made in connection with the "holocaust." Many Jews were deported, some died, some were shot, some were treated badly. So, what? Isn't that rather normal in wartime?
If one tries to quibble by answering the first question with "Yes and NO" or with any of the other wimpy answers posted above, one is in effect digging a hole for oneself from which can only come up out slowly and with great difficulty, if ever. Prepare yourselves with quick, sharp and strong confident answers. The answers should be simple and easily comprehensible. Bradley Smith used to give such long-winded answers that he inevitably lost his audience.

It all depends on who you're debating with though; if you're talking to people who know about the Holocaust and revisionism then "Yes" is the best answer, I agree. But the average Joe has no idea and saying "Yes, I deny the Holocaust" will make him think you're a neo-Nazi and he will likely be intolerant and ignore you.
I think one other good answer to the question - "Do you deny the holocaust?" is: "No, I don't deny the Holocaust, I just don't believe in the Holocaust".
