Entry: Pope Banned from Speaking in Rome Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/wankers_ban_pope_from_speaking_in_rome#15147 Post contents: @Kevin Just because I describe a state of mind does not mean that I share it. I just explain. Think of it this way, if a member of a Hatfield family was suddenly denounced by a group of radicals, wouldn't you at least wonder if there was a McCoy lending them support? Radicals with wild ideas have always existed. There is a lunatic fringe everywhere, whose theories are too numerous to mention. It is when one of those groups gets a serious hearing that we must pay attention. If we do, we might find out that they are being aided and abetted by some established, respectable group who thinks of using them against other established, respectable group with which it shares a grudge. On occasion the fringe group gets control of the situation and it is bad news for everyone. It was what happened with the Nazis, who the Right thought would be useful to them, and ended up being the ones used (By the way, Hitler was just anohter version of Reverend Jim Jones, but with a whole country to play with. And unlike the Good Rev., he did not get to take everyone with him). Another example was when the German Government shipped a radical fringe group to Russia to get hr out of ht war. Unfortunately that fringe group (the Bolsheviks) turned out to be more powerful in the general disarray that Russia had become. Sent at: 2009 01 07
