Art Jones, Illinois Republican Congressional Candidate, Says Holocaust Never Happened

Oak Lawn Patch:

A congressional candidate running as a Republican in the upcoming Illinois primary says the "Holocaust never happened."

Arthur Jones, 64, a Lyons, IL, insurance salesman who organizes family-friendly, neo-Nazi events around Adolph Hitler's birthday, hopes to be the Republican candidate chosen to run against Democratic Congressman Dan Lipinski in Illinois' 3rd Congressional District.

"As far as I'm concerned, the Holocaust is nothing more than an international extortion racket by the Jews," Jones said. "It's the blackest lie in history. Millions of dollars are being made by Jews telling this tale of woe and misfortune in books, movies, plays and TV."

"The more survivors, the more lies that are told."

They may be stupidity in both political parties but it runs much, much deeper on the Republican side.

Repubs rewriting history....I'm shocked. Is anyone surprised that someone like him can run for election under the republican banner. I was never a republican, but they use to have normal people with a different point of view. This crew, is just batty. There is another guy (forgot his name), who is against the girl guides because he sees a gay/communist agenda within the organization.

"Holocaust denial is one of the reasons the neo-cons claim Israel has the right to fear Iran. Should Israel also fear the Republican Party? "

If by Neocons, you mean American Jews, you need not fear. Jews have always voted overwhelmingly center-left. See for yourself:

A helicopter should fly over his house and BOMBARD him with pictures of the death camps. Then, he should be made to pick up and LOOK at each and every one. An EVIL, EVIL, EVIL excuse for a man.

Is he related to Mel Gibson? Does he really believe that he can get elected to any office?

These are the kinds of people that the GOP attracts. Why should anyone be surprised?

Why be so cryptic when there are hundreds of Arthur Joneses on the internet? Please at least provide a link.

i cant believe that in this day and age this is even controversial. the leucheter report scientifically proved a long time ago that the holocaust myth about mass exterminations was a lie

I can't believe that people are dying for your freedom to be so ignorant.

The Leuchter "report" has been thoroughly discredited, but that probably doesn't matter to you, seeing as folks like you don't rely on facts.

It's so unfortunate that massive numbers of people have no idea how to navigate what consititutes legitimate reporting and/or academic work. When people can "fall for" such reports as these, we can tell there's an educational/social issue at hand.
