>clear cut level of Holocaust denial
'Denial' isn't clear cut at all. You could deny it by saying it didn't happen at all, or that it happened in a different location, or by different people, or that the number of dead doesn't match the stated total(s). Is it denial to disbelieve a specific person was killed, or was killed in a specific manner? Is it denial to disbelieve some of the particulars of someones story? Free speech means exactly that; you're free to speak or you aren't.
