An Email From An Infidel Gone Bad!
A friend of ours sent me an email from another friend of ours. The email was part of a larger conversation they had been having about the recent rift between Pamela, at Atlas Shrugs, and Charles, from Little Green Footballs.
(And, just to be clear, by "friend of ours" I mean a former contributor to Infidel Bloggers Alliance.)
I post this email here because I want to demonstrate exactly what it is we are getting ourselves into when we decide that we will ally ourselves with supremacists of any kind (such as, perhaps, the BNP, the Swedish Democrats, and the Vlaams Belang).
They don't make very good allies because, sooner or later, you will find yourself to be among a group of people that they want to eliminate.
Read and learn:
... my take on it is that Charles Johnson of LGF is full of it. He uses "guilt by association" to tar VB. Vlaams Belang's Filip DeWinter appeared on a internet radioshow together with some unsavory types (including David Duke). For this Johnson regards first VB and DeWinter and then Paul Belien and BJ as Neo-Nazi's.
I am sick and tired of idiots (including you) screaming "Nazi, fascist, KKK" without giving any usefull definition of those terms just because its so usefull and saves you from actually thinking about things and society.
... tell me: why is it that the KKK or the Nazis are bad? Why does Charles Johnson think they are bad? Have you actually considered the moral question at all or are you just screaming along with the rest of this unreflective liberal-dominated society?
You may take your time."
Ok, thanks, my friend. I shall do so. I'll think about what you said for a long, long time.
P.S. I think this email is also an object lesson in why Freedom of Speech is a good thing.
We now know exactly how our friend thinks. He is ok with Nazis and he's ok with the KKK. We can now take that under advisement when he expresses other opinions.
And, if you want to learn about the seamy underside of the BNP, read the comments in this post. Many of them echo our old friend above (although I must say, no one is quite as blatant as the former Infidel).

Atlas Shrugs Posts Diana West Piece Professing Ignorance Of The Ethnic Nationalist Roots Of Filip Dewinter
Pamela and Diana West, apparently, believe that they can resurrect this argument a year later, and win by default because none of us want to get back in it. Diana West says (and once again, Pamela posted it) that: Dewinter, Borghezio and Strache are...

Vlaams Belang Is Getting Together With The National Front, The Lega Nord, And The Freedom Pary Of Austria
Fascists unite. I wonder if Baron Bodissey and Christine Brim will be attending. After all, they wasted countless thousands of words last year trying to explain to us simpletons that guilt by association didn't work when it comes to fascism. I say...

Is Filip Dewinter A Nazi?
Charles, at Little Green Footballs, believes it is clear that he is. Pamela, and Baron and Dymphna at Gates of Vienna say he is not. After all, his party, the Vlaams Belang, supports Israel. I say it is more than likely that DeWinter is, indeed, a white...
