Fjordman and Breivik

The Baron is still outraged by attempts to link him and Fjordman to Anders Breivik, who committed the mass murder of fellow Norwegians of the leftist persuasion earlier this year. The newest outrage? - Breivik's defense attorney wants to call Fjordman to the stand in defense of his client! Classic! Of course the Baron lies about why Fjordman would be called to the stand - claiming that it would be because he "is guilty of being exactly correct in his analysis that rampant immigrant crime would lead to rising tensions in Europe." Wrong, dear Baron. Fjordman would be called to testify about his outrageous political beliefs and how they drove a man of Mr. Breivik's tenuous hold on reality to commit his awful deeds.

Fjordman then weighs in with a pathetic rant against Norwegian newspaper "VG," and inadvertently shows how beyond the pale he is with this complaint: "VG has launched a massive campaign against my person. And it is not even a Leftist newspaper by Scandinavian standards."

The Baron then gives us a list of others who are mentioned in Breivik's meandering manifesto, and suggests that they also be called to the stand with Fjordman. They include:

Bruce Bawer
Paul Belien
Tony Blair
Judge Robert Bork
Andy Bostom
Bill Clinton
John Esposito
Hugh Fitzgerald
Pamela Geller
Christopher Hitchens
Charles Johnson
Bernard Lewis
Melanie Phillips
Daniel Pipes
Condoleezza Rice
Walid Shoebat
Robert Spencer
Serge Trifkovic
Keith Windschuttle
Bat Ye’or

Well Baron, some of these people (Blair, Bork, Clinton) are clearly tangential in Breivik's scribbled meanderings, others I am not familiar with, Bernard Lewis is a mainstream historian whose words have been hijacked by the anti-Islamic idiots, and at least one (Hitchens)can't be tied to hatred of left-wing Europeans, since he is one himself. But several of the names do indeed deserve calling to trial with Fjordman, especially Bostom, Geller, Spencer, Trifkovic, Pipes, Ye'or, and Belien. And yes, Charles Johnson, the blogfather and ugliest of them all, who deserves to be on the stand to explain how he could transform his message from the pure Islamohatred of pre-2007, inspiring copycats like the Baron and Breivik, with his message today.

And then in the very first comment, from EscapeVelocity, we get a pure distillation of the mindset that led to Breivik targeting his fellow white Norwegians rather than the evil Mooslims:

The people responsible for the actions of Breivik are Leftwingers who have spearheaded the importation of hostile backwards foreigners and the promotion of their backward hostile cultures over the indigenous Europeans.

The violence is entirely predictable, and will continue to esculate, as the Leftist power elite seek to clamp down on the uppity indigenous hoi polloi via the abridgment of their rights, selective enforcement of law, etc....in part driven by these jackbooted responses to the uppity indigenous who are not enjoying being colonized by violent backwards Third Worlders (including having their women raped by them).

I look forward to the trial!
