A Call to Boycott World Net Daily From the Right

Weird • Views: 3,193

I’ve been sounding off about the insanity peddled by World Net Daily for quite a while. They promote every wrong, crazy idea associated with the far right: creationism, birtherism, anti-vaccinationism, and much more. And some of their writers associate openly with white supremacists and racist groups.

After reading an especially mindless article about the Obama administration’s purported plans to set up “Nazi-like” concentration camps, Jon Henke is calling for a boycott: Organizing Against WorldNetDaily.

But I’ll predict that he gets almost no support for this. The craziness is too strong these days, when even the RNC is advertising at WND.

“Congressman Trapped in Refrigerator Eats Own Foot”

3 vxbush  Tue, Sep 1, 2009 9:33:07am
[T]he Web site Worldnetdaily.com says that the government is considering Nazi-like concentration camps for dissidents. Jerome Corsi, the author of “The Obama Nation,” an anti-Obama book, says that a proposal in Congress “appears designed to create the type of detention center that those concerned about use of the military in domestic affairs fear could be used as concentration camps for political dissidents, such as occurred in Nazi Germany.”

You know, a little thing like fact-checking—giving the actual proposal number, say—would go a long way to proving how incompetent the writers are. But that’s the biggest problem with WND: no facts to back up all those assertions. And that’s seriously dangerous.

A boycott may not be such a bad idea.

No respectable organization should support the kind of fringe idiocy that WND peddles. Those who do are not respectable.

We can help to give it steam. We push it here, spread to other blogs. Jon Henke is doing the sort of thing that William F Buckley used to do: reading nuts like Brach and the Birchers or Farrah and the Nirthers out of mainstream conservatism.

If the Republican party can’t clean house, then it has no realistic hope of being a viable alternative to the dems. The prize in any election is the big middle of the spectrum, where the undecideds hang out. They won’t support a party that is obviously extremist.

The Political Cesspool is not only anti-semitic — they’re open, unapologetic white supremacists. They’re associated with David Duke, Stormfront, and a number of other neo-Nazi groups and people, and also with the racist creeps at VDARE.

And Jerome Corsi, one of WND’s “star” writers, has appeared at least twice on the radio show.

There was a time when I used to start the day reading WND, JWR, and NewsMax. I dropped NewsMax, and then WND. The whole Buchananite thing really started to grate at me after a while.

Now I pretty much stick to the Wall Street Journal, Drudge, and some of the British papers.

I also used to read the Trib, but it’s obvious that the Colonel is long dead, and I’ve finally reconciled myself to that fact.

The Trib still worth reading at times. They’ve been especially good at hammering the Dems for their corruption in my state. It remains to be seen if the Tribune’s efforts will bear fruit, but if they can keep their nerve they could play a vital role in a GOP comeback. That will, of course, require the Nirther/ Paulian purge that is topic of this thread.

There was a time when WND did not seem so extreme, but gradually it became more so. The Paulian/Nirther/Buchananite trends became more visible.

The success of the message is by playing on people’s fears, stoking them, and then incrementally getting them to accept pieces of an argument that, were they presented with it up front, they would never buy. It is the standard practice of the BNP, who always shows up wherever people are angry with the existing parties about something, and then talks up the anger while encouraging people to voice prejudices and attitudes that they might quietly think to themselves, but would never voice in public because, fundamentally, they know them to be inappropriate.

It is also the method cults use. They begin by finding people who are troubled, and then get them into a religious talk. They claim to be “Christian” and lure people to their meetings, usually by linking them with an attractive member of the opposite sex. They us discussion sessions, all of which are rigged, to get people to reveal deep secrets, things they feel guilt or anxiety over, and then play on those to isolate the individual. They increase the subject’s insecurity and guilt until they reach a state of panic, then offer a solution, but one that requires complete separation from the outside world.

That second point is not true. Britain declared war on Germany in September 1939, but Chamberlain did not leave office until May 9th, 1940. Winston Churchill was initially brought back as First Lord of the Admiralty.

The Burqa: Ultimate Feminist Choice?

Naomi Wolf Discovers That Shrouds Are Sexy

Women in chadors are really feminist ninja warriors. Rather than allow themselves to be gawked at by male strangers, they choose to defeat the “male gaze” by hiding from it in plain view.

But don’t you worry: Beneath that chador, abaya, burqa, or veil, there is a sexy courtesan wearing “Victoria Secret, elegant fashion, and skin care lotion,” just waiting for her husband to come home for a night of wild and sensuous marital lovemaking.

Obviously, these are not my ideas. I am quoting from a piece by Naomi Wolf that appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald a few days ago. Yes, Wolf is the bubbly, feminist author who once advised Vice President Al “The Climate” Gore on what colors he should wear while campaigning and who is or was friendly with Gore’s daughter. Full disclosure: I have casually known Wolf and her parents for more than a quarter-century.

Wolf recently traveled to Morocco, Jordan, and Eygpt, where she found the women “as interested in allure, seduction, and pleasure as women anywhere in the world.” Whew! What a relief. She writes:

“Many Muslim women I spoke with did not feel at all subjugated by the chador or the headscarf. On the contrary, they felt liberated from what they experienced as the intrusive, commodifying, basely sexualizing Western gaze. … Many women said something like this: …’how tiring it can be to be on display all the time. When I wear my headscarf or chador, people relate to me as an individual, not an object; I feel respected.’ This may not be expressed in a traditional Western feminist set of images, but it is a recognizably Western feminist set of feelings.”

Really? If so, I’m the Queen of England.

Meanwhile, military channel has a spot on “feats of valor”, detailing the actions that earned three men the medal of honor. Since they wanted to interview the subjects, that restricted the spot to the minority who survived the day that brought them that honor.

One of the three was a Hungarian Jew who survived Mauthausen concentration camp, was liberated by G.I.s, and swore a holy vow that if he ever got to America he’d be a GI Goe. And so it came to pass. His commanding officer sort of had it in for him, though. He got volunteered for all the nasty duties. Eventually he was tasked to hold a hill, alone, while the company pulled out to redeploy. Disengaging from contact is difficult and you don’t want the enemy following right on your heels and pot shotting you from your own foxholes, after all.

The next day he rejoined his unit. Not believing their eyes, they sent a patrol to scout out the situation.

The ground before his position was littered with PRNK bodies, scores of them. He’d fought off the probing attack single handed, with nothing but rifle and grenades, so effectively that the NK’s had assumed the ridge was still firmly held by the Americans.

His immediate superior put him in for the medal of honor, but the guy up the chain “lost” the paperwork. Then his unit was destroyed in another engagement, and he was taken POW. His experience under the Nazis gave him an insight into what was to follow and how to endure it, and he shared this with his fellow prisoners. He was credited with saving the lives of scores of them.


It was 50 years later, after a review of all citations that may have been mishandled, that he got the recognition.

How does an American find the throat muscles to curse Jews? How?

Let the historical revisionism begin.

It’s not actually revisionism.

Stalin was so paranoid that he firmly believed in British perfidy even when the evidence was against it. Stalin did read the events of 1938 as showing that England and France would do nothing. He was incapable of assessing the change from Chamberlain to Churchill, and the pact made perfect sense to him.

This is not saying that Stalin was a good guy, or right. It’s acknowledging the history.

But WWII was the fault of Hitler and his Germany. No one else.

And how about this by Naomi? Neo-feminism> The Muslim Veil equals sexual freedom.
[Link: www.project-syndicate.org…]


The West interprets veiling as repression of women and suppression of their sexuality. But when I traveled in Muslim countries and was invited to join a discussion in women-only settings within Muslim homes, I learned that Muslim attitudes toward women’s appearance and sexuality are not rooted in repression, but in a strong sense of public versus private, of what is due to God and what is due to one’s husband. It is not that Islam suppresses sexuality, but that it embodies a strongly developed sense of its appropriate channeling – toward marriage, the bonds that sustain family life, and the attachment that secures a home

What do folks think of the GOP these days?

Republican Voters Say GOP Reps in Congress Still Out of Touch

Lost of numbers in this one.

Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republican voters say their party’s representatives in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters nationwide over the past several years. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 18% of GOP voters believe their elected officials have done a good job representing the base.

Most Republican voters (55%) say that the average Republican in Congress is more liberal than the average Republican voter. Twenty-four percent (24%) say the average Republican in Congress holds views about the same as the average Republican voter while just 17% think the Congressional Republicans are more conservative than GOP voters.

Republican voters overwhelmingly believe it is more important for the party to stand for what it believes in rather than trying to work with President Barack Obama. Eighty-four percent (84%) of Republicans hold that view while just 14% favor more co-operation with the President.

Overall, among all voters, 51% believe it is more important for the Republican Party to stand for what it believes in than for the GOP to work with President Obama. Forty-two percent (42%) disagree.

In late April, voters were basically tied on this question.

Just 24% of all voters nationwide think Democrats should pass a health care reform bill that is opposed by all Republicans in Congress. Fifty-eight percent (58%) say Democrats should change the bill to win support from “a reasonable number of Republicans.”

Thirty-seven percent (37%) of all voters say the average Republican member of Congress is more liberal than the average GOP voter. Twenty-six percent (26%) believe the average GOP congressman is more conservative, and 28% say the two are about the same.

For the first time in over two years of polling, voters trust Republicans slightly more than Democrats on the handling of the issue of health care. Overall, Republicans lead Democrats in terms of voter trust on eight out of 10 key issues for the second consecutive month, and the two are tied on one issue.

Those who say economic and fiscal issues are their biggest concerns make up the majority of Republican voters, and Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, runs best among those voters if the 2012 GOP Presidential Primary in their state was held today.

Indeed — one could reasonably argue that World War II began in 1931 with the Manchuria incident. Then came Spain, the invasion of Ethiopia, the Anschluss, the occupation of Czechoslovakia — all of them armed acts of aggression that the Western democracies preferred to pretend didn’t happen. And, looking at most Western Civ text books, they’d STILL prefer to pretend they didn’t happen.

Speaking of nuts, Pat Buchanan has a new article out today about Hitler being a peacenik…

Did Hitler Want War?
by Patrick J. Buchanan

Why did he start the war with no surface fleet, no troop transports and only 29 oceangoing submarines? How do you conquer the world with a navy that can’t get out of the Baltic Sea?

If Hitler wanted the world, why did he not build strategic bombers, instead of two-engine Dorniers and Heinkels that could not even reach Britain from Germany?

Why did he let the British army go at Dunkirk?

Why did he offer the British peace, twice, after Poland fell, and again after France fell?

Why, when Paris fell, did Hitler not demand the French fleet, as the Allies demanded and got the Kaiser’s fleet? Why did he not demand bases in French-controlled Syria to attack Suez? Why did he beg Benito Mussolini not to attack Greece?

Because Hitler wanted to end the war in 1940, almost two years before the trains began to roll to the camps.

Of course, he went over to the stalker blog the very day his account was blocked.

He was incapable of assessing the change from Chamberlain to Churchill, and the pact made perfect sense to him.

This is not saying that Stalin was a good guy, or right. It’s acknowledging the history.

As for voters not affiliated with either major party, 58% say the GOP should stand for what it believes in while 33% would like to see more cooperation with the President. Seventy-one percent (71%) of unaffiliated voters believe the Republicans in Congress have lost touch with their base and a plurality of unaffiliateds (41%) believe that the average Republican in Congress is more liberal than the average Republican voters.

There has been awfully little bipartisanship since the House fell into Democrat hands in January 2007, and even less since January 2009 when the WH and Senate followed.

Bipartisanship has come to mean the minority caving into the demands of the majority.

re: #155 Syrah

Hitler wanted war; he wanted war for various ideological reasons that had little to do with economic or strategic realities. This was one thing that frustrated his generals. They had been planning how to defeat Russia and France ever since the closing months of 1918. Mussolini’s “successes” (which really weren’t all that impressive) did spur him on some, but ultimately he was disappointed that each of his little power grabs in the late ’30s didn’t provoke the Allies to war. He was also genuinely shocked that the English honored their commitment to Poland — from his ideological point of view, he figured they would side with him against France and Russia. He never got over that — his war against England after 1940 was, in many ways, driven by feeling hurt that the Anglo-Saxons had betrayed him.

I am inclined to think that Hitler had not started the wars in Europe that Mussolini would have been wrecking havoc in Africa and Arabia.

I agree. I doubt Mussolini would’ve started a major European war, but he was most interested in further African colonization. He did attack Ethiopia after all. IIRC, he also did manage to take over Albania as well, but I don’t recall if that was before or after September 1, 1939. It may have been before.

Hitler, on the other hand, was most interested in European “liebensrum”. It was only a matter of time until he started a major European war.

Iran’s Nuclear Negotiator Says Tehran Ready for Nuke Talks

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s top nuclear negotiator said his country is ready to hold talks with world powers to ease fears over its nuclear activities and has prepared a revised package of proposals for Western countries, state TV reported Tuesday.

Despite the suggestion of possible international cooperation, parliament sent a defiant message to the world by supporting President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s nominee for defense minister, who is under an international arrest warrant for the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Argentina that killed 85 people.

Nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili told reporters of the country’s new proposals a day before a meeting in Germany of the six countries trying to address concerns about Iran’s nuclear program — the U.S., France, Britain, Russia, China and Germany.

“Iran has prepared to present its revised package of proposals … and is ready to hold talks with world powers … in order to ease common concerns in the international arena,” the TV quoted Jalili as telling reporters.

Speaking of nuts, Pat Buchanan has a new article out today about Hitler being a peacenik…

Did Hitler Want War?
by Patrick J. Buchanan


Why did he start the war with no surface fleet, no troop transports and only 29 oceangoing submarines? How do you conquer the world with a navy that can’t get out of the Baltic Sea?

You can’t have everything you want before you go to war. Britain was weak but was frantically rearming. Russia too. Every passing month tilted the odds against Germany.

If Hitler wanted the world, why did he not build strategic bombers, instead of two-engine Dorniers and Heinkels that could not even reach Britain from Germany?

Strategic bombers in that day were a bad buy. The U.S. found that out over Ploesti, where we suffered 25% losses and more. Our strategic bomber offensive of 1943 was a failure.

Why did he let the British army go at Dunkirk?
He’d fought in Flanders in WW1 and knew that the terrain was no good for armor. He wanted to avoid heavy casualties fighting a British army that after evacuation would be just cadres without weapons. He imagined he’d win Britain’s surrender shortly anyhow. Why spend to take what you’ll gain for free shortly? Just this once, Buchanan has a military point. Hitler’s decision to stay his hand before Dunkirk was a mistake. What it was not, was a token of genuine good will and desire for peace.

Why did he offer the British peace, twice, after Poland fell, and again after France fell?

Why not? He offered Poland peace too, in exchange for helping to negotiate the surrender of Czechoslovakia.

Why, when Paris fell, did Hitler not demand the French fleet, as the Allies demanded and got the Kaiser’s fleet?

Patience. If he leaves the French in charge of that fleet, it may eventually come around. If he demands it, the Brits will sail into Toulon and sink it before it can sail. In the event, they did just that anyway.

Why did he not demand bases in French-controlled Syria to attack Suez?
The British invaded French-controlled Syria and took control. Had Hitler demanded bases there, he would have antagonized a reasonably pliant Vichy regime and had nothing to show for it but a defeat of his own, instead of a defeat of a sock puppet.


Why did he beg Benito Mussolini not to attack Greece?
Because of the one-war-at-a-time rule. Mussolini bit off more than he could chew in Greece, and Hitler got dragged into a time-consuming foray into the Balkans. This cut into the schedule for the invasion of Russia. Hitler was simply keeping his eye on the ball.

Buchanan plays on American ignorance of the Eastern Front aspect of WWII to make his case. He’s smart enough to know that all his “whys” have military “because” answers.

re: #205 Diego

tbh it wouldn’t be a bad thing for ‘real’ conservatives/Republicans/(whatever you prefer) to stand up and take your (their? I get a bit confused) party back. There’s a two part system for a reason and the GOP isn’t doing it’s job (my opinion) at the moment.

Hey Diego—
Totally agree. Glad to see the ridiculous WingNutDaily is finally getting called out on the right— but I suspect Charles is right and the crazy is too strong now.
And I didn’t know the RNC was running ads there! I find that very disturbing.

re: #6 Irish Rose

Meanwhile, today on CNN:

According to the latest disclosure with the FEC, SarahPac has donated to money to Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann, Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch and Senate hopeful Rob Portman of Ohio.

Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton confirms the former Alaska governor’s committee did donate $1,000 to each of those Republicans, as well as $2,500 to Virginia gubernatorial hopeful Bob McDonnell, now dealing with fallout from the revelation of a controversial 20-year-old thesis.

Shhh. Don’t tell Cato. There’s a few people WND is loving in that group Sarah gave money to.

re: #237 SanFranciscoZionist

Wait, I though us liberals though Obama was Moshiach. I’m so confused.

Naomi Wolf is NOT HELPING with my confusion.

Adding to the confusion, is her belief that muslim suppression of women is “sexy and liberating”.

I was already boycotting WND for their rampant homophobia. Them and townhall dot com. In fact any site that publishes anti-gay bigots is off my list.

I support this.

World Nut Daily is an embarrassment to sensible right wingnutz like me everywhere.

i turned on Dennis Miller’s radio show a few months ago. He had Jerome Corsi on and on several occasions called him The great Dr Corsi and said “what you say is golden to me”

now I don’t know how far right Miller has gone. He may just be blowing smoke or he may believe the craziness.

But when you have all these voices on the right that have tried to mainstream the likes of Jerome Corsi and Randall Terry it’s hard to distance yourself from them. How many times was Jerome Corsi given a platform on Hannity and Colmes and FOX news during the election? During the Terri Shiavo deal Randall terry practically co-hosted with Sean Hannity every night.

the craziness on the left is at sites like democratic underground and others . The craziness on the right is on national television. Glenn Beck has a nationally televised show on every night. FOX news’s main legal analyst praises Alex Jones.

might as well boycott fox news right along with WND

the Foxnation website routinely links to WND with misleading headlines.

right now on foxnation the headline “Obama Green Czar on 9/11: Blame US imperialism” links to WND .

Foxnation comment section full of more craziness and even some threats of violence

here’s just a few comments

Conservative WARRIOR
ok…I’m an Imperialist, VAN Jones quite possibly the MOST Dangerous Man in DC
we will take you down…

The concentration camp conspiracy has been raging on for a while. When I lived in the Oakland bay area there was a theory that angel island was going to be turned into one. That was in the 80’s, I’m now here in the Kansas city area and the federal building on Troost and Bannister road when they put up flood walls in the 90’s under Clinton, was to be a concentration camp. With the war on terror Bush had these camps all over America, and now Obama. This is a Kook theory I just don’t believe
