I was late to this post yesterday - the post entitled "There are Racists Who Are Ok With Jews." I left the following comment pretty much after the discussion was over....
Epa is spot on with this:
When Von Brunn invaded the Holocaust Museum and murdered Stephen Tyrone Johns, one of the first things I did upon hearing of the atrocity was try to find out if Von Brunn could be in any way considered part of the anti-jihad. I found no such ties. But suppose I had found such ties? Suppose that Von Brunn had been a frequent commenter here at IBA or at another anti-jihad site? The left would make hay of that, all right, as the left has already done with Free Republic, where he occasionally commented.
Any alliances the anti-jihad makes are going to be scrutinized. We'll all get tarred with the same brush.
That is the reality.
Furthermore, with BHO in office and the recent Cairo Speech, the scrutiny of the anti-jihad has already ramped up. Any indication of racism is going to be found out and the news trumpeted in the media, sooner or later.
And the idealism? Well, we've discussed that aspect ad nauseam. We cannot, however, discuss it often enough, IMO. We either believe in our principles -- or we don't. Look at history. Compromising principles for pragmatism ends in great woe every time.

I like that he calls out the "Anti-Fascists" of Europe, declaring, "What a joke you people are." Anyone who knows the history of this blog, knows of our break with some of the prominent people in the counter-Jihad movement over their alignment with European...

I Want To State This Emphatically
I was late to this post yesterday - the post entitled "There are Racists Who Are Ok With Jews." I left the following comment pretty much after the discussion was over....
Epa is spot on with this:
on the day the anti jihad movement is equivalent in people's minds with groups such as the BNP, WE LOSE.We're coming dangerously close to just that conflation, I think. Not we at IBA, the anti-jihad movement in general.
