DO NOT JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS!

I know there’s a tendency to not give a person the benefit of the doubt when guilt by association is possible, and Spencer is sympathetic to Wilders, and Wilders is allegedly linked to some radical right group.

I’ve only looked at this for a few minutes but there are some reasons to doubt that Spencer is a genocidal maniac:

Spencer is an esteemed writer and orator. He’s published numerous books and had high level speaking engagements. On his website, he goes to great lengths to explain that he isn’t anti-Muslim or a white supremacist in the FAQs section under his profile. He explains that he wants to “defend universal human rights”.

Considering all this, answer the following questions:

1) Anyone can recognise that openly advocating genocide is something of a reputation destroyer. EVEN IF he actually entertained such ideas privately, why would he ever make it public and thereby risk his lucrative and successful career? Sacrifice all that, and for what…? To join a facebook group?! It doesn’t make sense.

2) Why would a person take so much time and such pains to dispel rumours that he is anti-Muslim and a supremacist, only to confirm them so casually and publicly? This behaviour is contradictory and doesn’t make sense.

I can’t read Greek but on the message board for that group there is a some copy-pasted text about Greek hackers. This may or may not be relevant. Do you know how easy it is to set up a Facebook profile using a fake name or celebrity name in order to make fun of them? Do you know how easy it is to add friends? And how easy it is to crack a password?

DO NOT JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS. I am shocked and taken aback that this was posted by Charles and Cato without contacting Spencer for comment. How can we criticise MSM news sources for not presenting the other side or not investigating all the facts and just publishing unquestioningly when we do it too?
