However, googling "Spike Tyson" and holocaust only turns up the <em>City Pulse</em> article. What's going on? Perhaps the reporter mistook the identity of the man? Or is this just the first time his holocaust denial has ever been revealed?

Spike Tyson, a familiar figure at state Capitol protests against the Iraq war, sparred with Cohen over the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust. Tyson said the number was closer to two and a half million, not six.

That’s actually a typical claim of a holocaust denialist. Most don’t completely deny the whole thing, but instead claim that the number of deaths has been exaggerated.
