Or are they simply exercising their right to free speech?

No, I do not think they should be punished. But I do think think they need to take a reality check, personally. I had many conversations with my best briend's father who served in the European Theatre. He told us of the death camps he personally saw. Every time he would speak of this evil we would see a tear in the eye of this large hardened man. I think that by denying the holocaust we would be setting ourselves (meaning the world) up for it to happen again. We must reconize and accept that this DID happen. Then we need to make sure that it is never allowed to happen again.

No, I don't think they should be punished, they should be allowed to spout their ridiculous nonsense just as the Flat Earth society should be.
With free speech comes the right to reply and any serious debate will only result in one outcome, ie the deniers are morons.

They shouldn't be punished.The Holocaust did happen,but if they chose not to believe it's their own business...
But unfortunately people are being punished for denying the Holocaust:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4733820.stm

No they shouldn't be punished, but they should be educated about the issue.

They should be forced to watch The Producers endlessly until they recant.
