Not right-wing

I don't want to get into the liberal bias stuff right now, but this is at best a very dubious use of the term "right-wing":

VIENNA — A right-wing Austrian writer who fled to Spain after being convicted on Holocaust denial charges 15 years ago must serve his 18-month sentence, Vienna's highest court said Monday.

Gerd Honsik, 67, must serve out the sentence handed down in 1992, the court said, rejecting his plea for leniency because of his age and a kidney ailment. However, the court also turned down a prosecution request to make the former fugitive serve even more time.

Vienna's public prosecutor's office said Honsik still faced possible charges for alleged neo-Nazi activities carried out during his exile in Spain, which could boost his time behind bars.

Honsik's views cannot be placed anywhere on the left-right political spectrum. He is an uninformed bigot.
