Looking for a neo-Nazi's armored car? Buy it now on eBay

Far-right French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen once called the Holocaust "just a detail" — worth maybe 10 to 15 lines in a 1,000-page book about World War II. The comments cost him a $284,033 fine. Now Le Pen is out of cash. To make some, he's auctioning his armored 1992 Peugot 605 on eBay. The latest bid: 10 million euros. The Peugot has a full leather interior and a CD player, but it's probably not worth that much. Still, if that sounds like a bargain for your very own piece of revisionist history, you've got until May 10 before eBay's auction closes.

Le Pen is stronger than the Peugeot?

There are some rich Nazis wandering around on ebay, like Max Mosely.

Whatever the nature of the comments, you can get a $284,033 fine for simply saying something disagreeable in France?

What a horrible country.

@danio3834: Its called 'socialism', and speech codes are just its logical evolution.

@Buzz Killington: How exactly is freedom of speech, or the lack thereof, intrinsically related to socialism? Please save your uninformed opinions for the comment section on digg.

@PatrickX: Find me a socialist country that doesn't have some kind of restriction on speech, then we'll talk.

@matto: Um... The USA has no speech codes. Laws against incitement and harassment don't count. Other than that you can say whatever, whenever you like. You surely can't be fined or jailed for speaking unpopular opinions.

@Buzz Killington - With your "freedom of speech" I suggest you a simple test: Do publicly support 9/11 attacks, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Fatah or pedophiles, serial killers for that mater...

It's a pity that Nazis didn't get the nuke first. Then they could nuke NY etc... Perhaps than you would understand the reason: 72 million people dead altogether app. 10 in holocaust. So it's more 15% then merely a "detail".

And if you still don't get it, wait until they auction Osama Bin Ladens car for 15 million U$.
Can we expect the same comments?

Back on topis: We also saw your "freedom of speech" in Top Gear does America. :)
You are not as free, as you thing you are.

'You surely can't be fined or jailed for speaking unpopular opinions' Ha ha ha Earth to Buzz. In the US if you mention the words 'Peace campaign' or 'Anti the war in ....' the Feds are tapping your line within 10 minutes

@danio3834: You got to remember that over here in Europe, in many countries denial of the Holocaust is a jailable offence.
