re: #51 Sharmuta

No- there is a lot of evidence to show vlaams belang is not the good intentioned saviors of europe some other bloggers think they are:

Vlaams Belang

Let me play Cog (since he’s apparently absent), for a second.
(This is directed at LGF commenters, in general)
This is meant as constructive criticism.

Providing a link that demonstrates a point is a good thing.
Providing a link demonstrates the point beginning with “www.littlegreenfootballs….” is marginal.

As we’ve noticed over the last few days, “the MSM” (and/or UPI) picks up and probably monitors LGF. I’m afraid of eventually seeing “these guys agree with themselves, and they are all [fill-in-the-horror].

“Monitors” will be quick to point out the circularity of our arguments … and totally ignore the links to the outside reference from that inside reference.

This is not a criticism, just a caution. I picked up on this today, clicking on several links. I mentally started thinking “never mind, it’s just a reference to us from a while back”.

If I start doing that, guess what the external world will do?

It’s a complete pain in the keester, but the technique of noting that a topic was covered by LGF several times here (Sharmuta’s search) and supported by articles like this and this might be worth the extra drill-down to the outside casual observer.
