Well, of course he's smart. So is Lex Luthor.
Denying the Holocaust is a very smart thing to do if you're anti-Jew. They were absolutely victims in WW2-- I can't figure out how one could hold them culpable in what happened to them. The perfect victims. Which throws some cold water on the whole anti-Semitism thing. So what is an anti-Semite to do? Why, deny the Holocaust ever happened! Then they can all go back to hating Jews without having to feel guilty about it.
What I find so interesting is that that is the only Holocaust people are so eager to disbelieve. Maybe because it's the only one people actually bother to remember?
