Entry: Right Face! Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/right_face#13461 Post contents: Thanks to Mr. Hanly for stopping by and giving us some perspective. I should have known it was another Irishman, and perhaps I can detect a certain ancestral desire to provoke, which many of you have noticed in my own writing here. I did not mean my mention to be entirely unfavorable, but some of the figures listed as inspiration back when I wrote this, al-Sini, Savitri Devi Theodore Kaczynski. and Codreanu, seemed questionable. I have noted that these names, except for Codreanu, have been removed in the last few months, and that these were greatly outnumbered by figures I regard with a more benign gaze. My point is that the civil discussion of their ideas had no place in mainstream American intellectual life, and it is a very good thing that the internet provides a venue for these voices to enter the conversation. I trust that the group's admiration for Codreanu, who has occupied the attention of the comments for a while, is strongly qualified. Indeed, given the other names mentioned, it must be. I was happy to find Mr. Hanly's group on FB. I kept its name to myself so as not to assist trolls -- and the sort of liberal idiot who would demand FB close them down. I hope he will feel most welcome here, where he and his friends would count as moderate. Sent at: 2008 11 21
