I have mentioned in the archives - assuming anyone ever reads this stuff - that I read P.Z. Myers to remind myself of why I dislike the modern American left, and I read Ilana Mercer to remind myself what I despise on the modern American right. Columnist for that respected publication, WorldNetDaily, her game is to channel the worst of the "hookworm and incest belt" while claiming a Menckenish superiority. On here banana-republic of her blog I occasionally fire off comments which are then duly deleted or edited.
Anyway, the point is that Mercer is a prime example of how to say something by not saying it. I'll show you what I mean. Miss Mercer's positions include the following: a relentless attack on the African National Congress as "the ANC mafia", and "Mandela's gang", coupled with an assertion that the symbol of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbewegung is not Nazi inspired (perish the thought!) and that the following are not Nazi salutes (yes, that's the notably pinko and liberal Daily Mail), that Obama's racial rhetoric is ugly, and that Robert Byrd is an "old southern gentleman", albeit with 'some youthful peccadilloes', some extensive praise of the work of Charles Murray, but not for his discussions of class and its relation to IQ in America or for that matter for the follow up work where it showed that there was a black-white IQ difference in America, but that this difference disappeared in the children of black and white Americans raised in Germany (my own views on this were summarized by the Hitch, starts at 8:00)....
How does this look to you?
