Well, we heard the Spencer tape. We'd see video of the planning before. We heard the chants. We saw the Klan and their hatred of Jews and most everyone else......

Hard to imagine what "association" he is speaking of unless his point is that "there were some good people" there on the Confederate side? Or that since he supports that end of things he shouldn't be grouped in with virtually ALL of the alt-righters and Klan there.

Michelle Malkin didn't just have this creep "show up", she has willingly defended him. But since you ask: If Nazis show up to march alongside me, I either make them leave or I leave myself.

I know. But discussing that, and what, if anything, should/is being done about it, is straying too far off-topic for this thread.

If I can find any recent news about this, I'll start a thread on it.

That pundit Arnold Schwarzenegger hit this nail squarely on the head -

You can find transcripts of what he said, but hearing it in that inimitable Austrian accent is somehow more powerful.

Would Malkin support and side with an individual that ticked all her boxes on such issues as immigration and gun control, but was found to have made statements denying or making light of the hundreds of thousands of Filipino's that were brutally tortured, murdered, and raped by Imperial Japanese forces during World War 2?

Like I said, Malkin is pure trash.

I know Michelle Malkin does not deny the Holocaust or hate Jews.

People who don't like Malkin are usually people for open borders. They try to make you out as Hitler if you think the border should be secured.
Michelle Malkin's husband is the grandson of Jewish Ukrainian immigrants. This thing seems like it is likely a tempest in a teapot. I read the OP's link and don't see any money quotes from Malkin that would show her to be either anti-Semitic or a holocaust denier.

I don't know anything about Fuentes other than having heard negative comments by a local conservative Jewish radio talk host.

What exactly did she say that makes her "trash?" You take a swing like that, you'd better be able to back it up.

I'd have to reserve judgement pending further info. All I see so far is 'guilt by association.'

Ten or so of the Democratic presidential candidates showed up for the Al Sharpton conference in NYC in April. Al Sharpton, who led the Tawanna Brawley case, and has denigrated 'homos' and Jews. Are those dem presidential candidates also therefore 'trash' in your book??

his claim seemed to be that only a couple hundred thousand could have been killed instead of the millions that were. i'd count that as denying the holocaust.

Malkin wrote a book to justify the interment of Japanese Americans in WWII back in 2004. Just horrible.
