Another eagle-eyed white nationalist finds me out

Blogger Russell Wardlow said yesterday that “Lawrence Auster has the best commenters.” I think it’s true, and it’s something of which I am proud. However, since we live in a democratic society, is it fair that VFR should only feature commenters who are intelligent, logical, and sensible? Shouldn’t the left end of the bell curve be occasionally represented as well?

Therefore, in the interests of democratic fairness, I post the following comment which came in this morning:

Mr Auster,

Even Jared Taylor acknowledges doubts over the veracity of the holocaust story—refer fowarded email.

Yes it is true that Islam is a obvious threat to the West—but it is you Jews who are the real problem—as Guillaume Faye so rightly said you people are the hole in the dyke.

Jews in the white nationalist movement?—I’d sooner have the Nation of Islam in before your lot—after all they have always opposed racial amalgamation -something that Jews want for everyone else but not for themselves.

And yes, I doubt your “conversion” to Christianity was genuine—it is obviously just an artifice to sneak into our camp and wreak havoc. That’s not surprising—after all this type of thing has been going on for the past three thousand years.

Wayne Harris

Here is Harris’s e-mail exchange with Jared Taylor, which Harris forwarded to me:

Wayne Harris to Jared Taylor:

I applaud your valiant defense of white civilization.

However the myth of the holocaust is a millstone around the neck of any nascent white nationalist movement.

Where do you stand on this? Did the Nazis genocidally wipe out 6 million jews or did they not?

Jared Taylor to Wayne Harris:

I’m not an expert on the subject, and it is not one into which I have looked.

So, Jared Taylor, a person who is certainly at the right end of the bell curve, maintains the same position on the Nazi war against the Jews that he maintained to me in the mid-’90s when he told me he was an “agnostic” on the issue: 12 years later, he still professes to have no opinion about whether one of the major events in world history actually took place, and to know nothing about it. For Taylor, it’s equally possible that the Nazis did or did not carry out a program to dispossess, dehumanize, and exterminate the Jews of Europe, and it’s equally possible that the Nazis did or did not actually murder several million Jews. And he has never “looked into” the subject! Taylor is also the person who had not a single word of criticism to say to or about the reported one-third to one-half of the attendees at his February 2006 American Renaisance conference who vociferously cheered for the death of Israel, though he didn’t say anything that indicated approval of that barbaric demonstration either. I guess, along with having no opinion on whether or not the murder of European Jewry took place, Taylor also has no opinion on whether or not Israel has the right to exist.

And so I have inadvertently demonstrated that Wayne Harris’s suspicions of me are correct. By condemning Holocaust deniers and pro-Nazis, by condemning those who say that Israel, alone of all nations, has no right to exist, and by condemning someone who had nothing to say against a proto-Nazi manifestation that took place at his own conference before his own eyes, I prove that Jews and people of Jewish ancestry such as myself are indeed born traitors to the white race, no matter how “right-wing” we may falsely profess ourselves to be. .

You’re not trying to flatter us, a la Limbaugh, are you? I think your correspondent from Blame The Jews, Inc., shows that good moderation makes the difference. Just tell him you’re VFR’s Natural Selector, and that his comment is not fit to survive the cut.

LA replies:

Do you object to my posting the comment?

I posted it because I think it’s good for people to be reminded from time to time of what’s out there.

I like “Natural Selector.”

LA adds:

I misunderstood G’s point. He’s saying that the quality of the commenters at VFR is due less to the commenters themselves than to the editor’s selection, editing, and moderating of the comments, i.e., that it is due to an ordering force above the commenters. G. is thus applying a traditionalist perspective to the management of a blog, which he is implicitly comparing to the management of a polis.

Gintas replies:

I wasn’t even trying to say that, but it just goes to show what great commenters you have! ;-)

LA replies:

Ha Ha!

That is really funny …

Thanks for the clever compliment. :-)
