ホロコースト否定論者の司法長官候補にアラバマ民主党は仰天
第二次世界大戦中にヨーロッパで死んだユダヤ人は14万人以下で、そのほとんどはチフスが死因であり、600万人のユダヤ人がナチに虐殺されたというのはホロコースト産業の虚偽の主張だと、その候補者、ダービーは語っている。

Alabama Democrats aghast at AG hopeful's denial of Holocaust
By The Associated Press
Democratic Party leaders are wondering what to do about a candidate for attorney general who denies the Holocaust occurred and wants to "reawaken white racial awareness."
Larry Darby, the founder of the Atheist Law Center, made an abortive bid for the attorney general job as a Libertarian in 2002, but only recently have his views on race and the Holocaust come to light.
In an interview Friday with The Associated Press, Darby said he believes no more than 140,000 Jewish people died in Europe during World War II, and most of them succumbed to typhus.

About 6 million Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis, but Darby said the figure is a false claim of the "Holocaust industry."
Darby said he will speak Saturday near Newark, New Jersey, at a meeting of National Vanguard, which bills itself as an advocate for the white race. Some of his campaign materials are posted on the group's Internet site.
"It's time to stop pushing down the white man. We've been discriminated against too long," Darby said in the interview.
The state Democratic chairman, Joe Turnham, said the party began an nvestigation last week after hearing about some of Darby's comments in a television interview.
While the party supports the free-speech rights of any candidate, Turnham said some of Darby's views appear to be in "a realm of thought that is unacceptable."
"Any type of hatred toward groups of people, especially for political gain, is completely unacceptable in the Alabama Democratic Party," said Turnham.
It is unclear whether the party could do anything at this point, although the party could decline to certify the results should he win.
Darby has no money for campaign advertising and has made only a few campaign speeches, but garnered 12 percent support in the June 6 primary in a poll of 400 registered voters last month.
The poll, which was conducted by a university professor for Alabama media outlets and has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points, shows Mobile County District Attorney John Tyson ahead with 21 percent of the vote but about two-thirds of respondents undecided.
Tyson said he does not consider Darby to be a serious candidate.
"I am astonished as anyone has ever been that anyone is running for public office in Alabama on that platform," he said.
