Gates of Vienna Attacks Robert Spencer

Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 8:21:58 pm PDT

Following Robert Spencer’s post about the need for the anti-jihad movement to reject white nationalists and racialists, fascist sympathizer Dymphna of Gates of Vienna launches an amazingly sleazy attack on Spencer in the comments to his post: Jihad Watch: Why the anti-jihad resistance is not about race.

Mr. Spencer:

That is an impressive list of speaking engagements. I would presume you were paid some fee for speaking and travel expenses for each of these venues? There is nothing dishonorable in that; a man must support himself and his family. If he has some expertise in an area that people want to hear about, then student activity fees will fund speeches.

Those who have chosen to join organizations to meet and plan ways to effectively counter the jihadists in the West also pay speakers for their time and travel. But that is an expense on top of our own travel costs. We do this just because we know it is vital that *someone* do something beyond merely “watch.”

The watching part of the fight is no longer the central point. As people develop expertise and learn to ignore the nay-sayers, the second generation of fighters is coming along.

...

If we have to wait for our allies to be lily-pure, then we can’t even support our own political parties when they leave people like Senator Byrd firmly in place. Just to name one.

It is fine for the first generation to stick with first generation activities. But the duty of the second generation in this conflict is to actively resist. Whether they have the blessing of the first generation theorists or not, they will continue to meet, to plan, and to act.

Things are evolving and there is no time to waste.

Classy.

And finally and most importantly, the question is not whether or not our allies are "lily pure." The question is whether or not we are, after all, fighting for the same thing. That is a question abundantly worth asking, and answering.

Why do these people always sound like they're quoting "Mein Kampf"?

Generations, "blood", resistance, fighting, et cetera. Real Nazi language - you know, the dirty phrases that imply that fighting, race, and reproduction are interlinked.

Cheap shot.

However, race IS an issue within Islam. In Islam, there is a real pecking order, with Arabs on top. Lots of internal stresses that can be and should be addressed and exploited. Even mixed Arabs are down a notch or two (see Ghaddifi's complaints to be a "player").

and Spencer's rebuttal (below) is SOOOO classy. The man is a hero and if Dymphna cannot see beyond the pale of her own self-aggrandized view, then SHE is the one who loses out on the affiliation with one of America's truly great patriots.

"Your implication that I am only in this for the money is as false as it is unkind. If I were in this for the money I rather think I could find something to do that would earn me more money and get me fewer death threats.

And in reality, no, I wasn't always paid for those speaking engagements. But if you choose to think of me as a mercenary, that's your affair.

Second, your distinction between those of the "first generation" who are merely "watching" -- me -- and those of the "second generation" who are acting -- like Rep. Myrick -- is likewise one that I must respectfully reject. Actually what she has done is no different from what I do, except that she has a larger audience: she has called attention to a problem, and called for it to be solved. That is what I do. I have the utmost respect for her, I have met with her, and I have told her office that I am at her service if I can be of any help. I have also led a seminar with Stephen Coughlin at the FBI, and neither he nor Myrick ever gave me the impression that they regarded what I was doing as obsolete or inadequate in comparison to what they are doing. But perhaps they were just being kind -- I am sure you know better in this regard.

In any case, I am proud to lend my paltry efforts to assist them, and beg your indulgence in allowing me to do so, as patently useless as what I am doing may indeed be.

And finally and most importantly, the question is not whether or not our allies are "lily pure." The question is whether or not we are, after all, fighting for the same thing. That is a question abundantly worth asking, and answering.

Cordially
Robert Spencer"

If one is not particular about who is fighting by their side, they may in time find themselves attacked by those who were supposedly guarding their flank. As our nation has too often learned to it's dismay, picking your allies is as important as identifying your enemies. A "neutral" as an ally is an ally of your enemy. Europe will never learn.

It's kind of a conversation spread over 3 blogs (LGF, Jihad Watch, and GoV). GoV readers and BNP supporters were attacking Robert for speaking out against racist politics over at Jihad Watch. It looks like Dymphana and Baron have made it clear which side if the fence they're going to sit on.

In other words- don't think about the consequences of making euro-nationalists our allies- let us cut off our nose to spite our face. That they're using us to make themselves politically viable shouldn't matter, so long as we defeat the islamists by any means necessary. That they would turn on us afterwards shouldn't cross our minds.

Let the islamists fight their own racist fight. I'm not anti-jihad because of the skin color or ethnicity of islamists. I'm anti-jihad because it's the opposite of what I believe in and stand for- the ideals of Freedom and Equality. "Oddly" enough- the euro-fascists don't believe in these ideals either.

There is a profundity to this distinction that WILL prove history-making. Robert and Charles may be the avant garde of this defining and I really hope that people are paying attention.

Per Spencer:

3. This approach hamstrings and marginalizes the anti-jihad movement. Many people who oppose the Islamization of Europe will never join with a race-based party to do so. Hugh Fitzgerald and I have often commented here over the years about the tragedy in Europe: the mainstream political parties have completely abdicated any responsibility to deal with the Islamization of Europe, thus leaving the field open to groups that obscure the issue with racial politics.

Yoda's best line about that subject:

We see this in the end result of giving in to fascism, nazism and islamism- the suffering people have come under because of these ideologies is staggering, and that anyone would continue to see them as a viable option for happiness in life or an improved society just goes to show what a messed up mind the "thinker" is.

Exactly. I couldn't recall the Yoda quote verbatim, but the little green man (thing? football? lizard!) certainly ranks up among the top philosophers of the 20th century.

GoV makes the same mistakes as liberals who deny terrorism is a problem (or even real), in that they group things into immutable classes. If you'll bear with my semi-drunken logic: GoV says that Muslim terrorists aren't white, thus worthy of scorn on that basis alone; Liberals say that Muslim terrorists are a)responding to American foreign policy or b)on par with Christian extremists. GoV delineates White/Other, Liberals delineate Oppressor/Oppressed.

If I understand correctly, State's Rights were damaged severly as a result of the Civil War. Then again with the Civil Rights act. I understand the argument -- yet have a hard time supporting a "State's Right" to subjugate a human being for greed or hate. It's sad that the Federal Government had to step in at all.

I got really angry at No Child Left Behind and mandated standardized testing. Then I remembered that when left up to States and Local municipalities --education was horribly unequal. I blame it on greed, corruption and hate (I think it still runs rampant in the public school systems --but that is another subject). At least with Federal oversight each child has a better chance than they do with the NEA alone.

I've heard the liberal argument, firsthand, after one acquiesced to the fact that Islam is not a race thus rendering critics of radical Islam as non-racists, per se, that the US and Muslim terrorists, in the context of Iraq are "basically the same." The libs always have some equivalency to fall back on.

In the same breath, there is a sentiment among either the ignorant or the racist that "I don't give a f*ck what happens in the middle east, we should just nuke them all, blah, blah." Both sides are intellectually lazy, it seems.

Canadian system works the same way. First you must belong to the party, membership dues. Next when a riding is open you run against other members looking for the privilege of running for election. Than the other party members vote. Only time it isn't done that way is when the party leader "parachutes" in a supposed rising or super star.

it's an ongoing issue, and between the efficiencies of the CA ARNG, the CA state government and my own sense of urgency (i'm not due for anything for more than 10 years) it's just simmering.

i'll gin up yet *another* set of documents and get them headed north in the next few days, since i promised Household 6 i would do so. also, since i'm attending the 1/18th Cav Ball on Saturday with herself, i will make contact with a variety of people who can make sworn statements regarding my presence during the times in question, should the powers that be want to question the copies of the very documents they themselves have access too. sounds strange, i know, but since they've looked at them 3 times so far and haven't seen what's plainly there, what's a cynical experienced person to think?

i am lucky in that i have time, resources, & documents that most Soldiers do *NOT* have access to. that is the reason i feel so strongly about the document storage issue we discussed the other evening.

re: #143 Sharmuta

I think this is where the two groups meet: A more subdued liberal trope of the past 7 years has been the frivolity of the Iraq war, namley the "pipie dream" of establishing democracy in a middle eastern, primarily Muslims country, i.e. democracy being fundamentally incompatible with the nature of Iraqi society. GoV types, in overtly racist tones, state that Muslims, namely Iraqis, are incapable of accepting or understanding Democracy. I think Ayaan Hirsi Ali articulated this thought (can't recall when or where), by saying that "We [Muslims] are capable of accepting reason, we are not irrational beings," or something to that effect.

The multiculturalists and the racists agree, albeit the former through the superiority of the other culture, the latter through the superiority of the Insert Race culture.

I still think they converge at the point of intellectual laziness. In order to understand that this is an ideological battle, they would first have to have a grasp on the ideologies involved- and that takes study- that's hard!

So- the left claims either racism or moral equivalence and leaves it at that because it's easy and conforms with their pre-existing leftist views.

And the crypto-fascists claim we're the moral relativists because to be honest about the ideology they're enabling would require them to take a long, hard look at themselves- and it's easy and conforms with their pre-existing racist views.

They learn, it's the "Journey not the Destination" and don't equate that to any real spiritual message that is applicable to daily life.

Anyone can run without a political party's approval. The custom has been for those people who want to run with out a party's approval to run as an "independent." I would not want to change that for nothing. The Party's need the competition, and some times the party's need a good pop in the nose to boot.

What the party's don't need is for some slug like David Duke, or some half-wit like Tony Zirkle to hijack and crap on the party's name and reputation.

The Party's need to be involved in who can run under their name.

Violence didn't end institutionalized slavery in this country; Violence didn't end the slaughter of Jew's in Europe . . .

For that matter, let's really change reality --orgasm isn't violent; conception isn't violent; birth isn't violent.

oh, and there is no violence in nature:

Large trees don't crowd small trees in forest starving them of sunlight.

New little green radish shoots don't have to fight there way to the surface to get sunlight --the ground lovingly parts and let's it thru.

Dolphin males don't attack and kill other dolphin males . . . . .

Oh Allah! The kufr are stupid! Everyone knows that it is the Jews from the Zionist Entity who steal male-front-private-parts, and they only do that to Palestinians, when they are persecuting them. They use the severed male private parts to tie the Palestinian children to the front of tanks in Palestine, kufrs!

I think it has more to do with a lack of critical thinking skills. Regardless of political affiliation- plenty of people think racism is wrong- because it is. (Some people just pay lip service to it.) But if you can't think critically- you're going to end up with intellectual laziness, and this is what we're seeing from both the left and the crypto-fascists.

And I'm wishing the best for me too! My current treatment modality doesn't appear to be working anymore to stop the spread of the cancer - so gotta meet a panel of cancer specialists all day tomorrow and hope they can come up with something, cause surgery won't fix my cancer problems.

Only problem with our system is it takes money to just show up at the starting gate. Never mind running an election. I guess it can be done on the cheap with a lot of volunteers, but not many people with income challenges get into politics these days.

/even the thrice damned socialists known as the NDP

The money issue has a benefit as well. Any potential candidate that cannot raise the initial funds needed to run for an office, really has no hope of winning on his own anyway.

When I ran for Congress a couple of decades ago, I had to pay over $5,000 in initial fee's and expenses. (I spent less than a thousand of my own.) The was no hope of winning. The Democrat was so firmly entrenched that if he had died before November, I would have lost to a dead man.

If I could raise that kind of money, for a "no hope" race, then any candidate that stands snowballs chance in hell can at least do the same.

the last few times i simply went through the motions with the CO when they had to invite me in per the roster.......... we all knew it was BS and didn't waste anymore time than necessary. there was no way i was going to spend a year running around Los Alamitos 1 weekend a month in B's with a briefcase in one hand and a chrome dome on my head taking shit from st00pid people just for the privilege of being a 2LT. i'd already been to basic, and doing it all over again didn't seem worth it.

Lotus-alike vs. Motorcycle:

A run to 60mph? It's become a more "popular" form of street racing by the restless youth around my AO in recent years. We used to call it Red Light Drags back in our day. These days the red lights are so close together, it's not worth it to get out of second gear.

naw... from the light to my house is maybe 150-200 meters..... maybe they just wound it out in first? i wasn't really paying attention until they got to the high revs, and when i turned, they were already backing off. the next light was still a ways off and it's almost always green their way. the next one is about a full quarter down the road.

Hi all, I'm around again tonight, this time with somewhat less cloudy vision. I got my glasses back today, and they're usable, but...

The right lens has sustained a lot of damage. So much that I can't use my right eye for anything. When I try, my brain automatically switches to my left eye, even before I realize it's happened.

Because my right eye is my weak eye, I have a greater need to use it in my daily activity. If I don't, I'm afraid it'll get weaker with time. So I guess I'll be calling the optometrist's office tomorrow.

Don't know about Thomas beach, or any cliques thereof (I'm from out of town).

Besides, there are plenty of errands I do on weekends that will be all the more cost-efficient on the scooter.

And unless you're axel deep in mud, or climbing a 30 degree grade and navigating stumps and rocks, fording streams and getting somewhere almost no other SUV can take you, about the only other thrill in a Jeep is 70 mph on the highway. I live in the city.

we (1/18th Cav) had an 88 rolling dead head down the Burma Trail back to Club Bob when they lost a track pin just to the right of the dam......

said pin was on the outside or downhill side of the vehicle.
physics being what it is, the ARV rolled down the tred until it went off it, and then the powered side took charge and turned the vehicle to the right (down slope). the crew had no warning, and once it started, no options. they left the road at an angle, but hit a bump which more or less straightened them out, and they proceeded down the slope till they got to the bottom and it flattened out, so friction could stop them.

once they quit bouncing around and realized they were still alive, the less excited of the two got out and walked over to one of the buildings you see in the lower right and called for help.

just think if the pin had sheered before they passed the dam. all we would have found was the track laying in the road and a diesel slick on the lake.

How do you value something you didn't earn?

You value it period... as you value your life, your country, its laws, customs, etc. You did not create them, (no one person did, they were a process of countless people and countless years).

Even America herself didn't just crop up... though in many ways original, much about her can be traced to - gasp - dead white European men and their Judeo-Christian philosophies and religions, (i.e. Protestant work ethic, the puritans, etc., notions of property, democracy, human rights, etc.).

Did you earn that? Hardly, nevertheless it is a heritage which though tweaked here and there is well worth preserving.

So how do you value something you didn't earn? By appreciating its intrinsic value in and of itself regardless of your own person.

Oh you would be surprised at some of the roads I've taken my rig over. Lots of logging and mining roads.

With the rapes in Sweden, carbecues in France, vandalism of churches and antiquities in Italy, and murders in the Netherlands, Muslims in Europe are already engaged in an undeclared war against everybody else. European governments won't protect their citizens from Muslim violence, continue to import tens of thousands more of them, shut down dissent by iron control of major media (something the old USSR would envy), and have (IMO insane) plans to integrate North African Muslim states into the EU, which would make those countries big-time conduits for jihadists. If I were European, I'd be real angry. Many here speak with contempt about the desire of Europeans to strike back, but what do you think they should do? None of the "respectable" political parties seem willing to stop the insanity any time before, to borrow a phrase, the avalanche has already started and it is too late for the pebbles to vote.

His "watching" has produced such informative and deep analysis, and he is risking his life writing about and exposing the enemies of humanity.

All the "causes" you mention are not reason to resort to racist attitudes. Not every Arab is an Islamist, and not every Caucasian is opposed to Islamism.

The actions of our enemies is the proper casus belli. The skin tones are irrelevant. This is what GoV, the BNP, Le Pen, and their ilk refuse to comprehend.

1/8 of a kernel of truth to the GoV charge.

No, not about Spencer per se. He's a great man (my vote for anti-idiotarian last year), all but one of whose books I have already purchased and read.

The fact is, though, that the whole Frontpage/Jihad Watch crowd has much to learn about organizing a movement. I'll say again what I've written privately to Charles: events like the Islamofascist Awareness Week speeches are poorly advertised. It is apparently impossible to get a response from the FrontPage staff via form-based email. Those like me who desperately want to help out are shut out. I can't help but feel that if I sent $1000 maybe I would have been taken more seriously.

One should not have to do detective work to acquire email addresses and phone numbers direct to these people. There should be procedures in place to filter incoming traffic so that volunteer efforts are properly handled.

With all this said, I'm obviously not clapping for GoV. I am simply saying that our guys seem unfamiliar with grassroots mobilization.

Do you have reading comprehension issues? The sleazy part is Dymphna's crass attempt to smear Spencer and say he's only in it for the money.

Did you even read it? Spencer did answer Dymphna, immediately after her comment.

This is not just an "LGF vs. GoV thing," as you put it. If you want to ally yourself with Nazis and fascists, I suggest you go hang out at GoV - because your viewpoint is not welcome at LGF.
