guide to classical liberalism: defend loudly the right of Nazis to organize. remain noticeably silent on the reinstatement of torture.

Bearing in mind many Islamists are basically Nazis, and bearing in mind most of the arguments used to justify punching Nazis can just as well be used to justify torturing them, I do wonder what his explanation of the difference would be.

I have pointed out many times, perhaps here, but certainly elsewhere, “Johnny Spooner” is either a CJ Werleman sock, or one of his odious little fleas. I have also pointed out the account keeps on changing names. Like you, I have called out its lies on numerous occasions, and all it could do was resort to “you are all Nazis!” rhetoric.

Dermot, yes I saw Bob’s response and was surprised by it. He did admit others, such as Islamists, are also OK to punch, or kick, etc. but when you open up this avenue, it always raises the question as to what standard you use, and which other groups are open to being punched. I have seen some argue that those religious people who believe abortion is murder, are then justified in punching abortion clinic staff. I would vehemently disagree…..but….the can of worms is open.

He agreed that a kick in the head, not merely a punch, would be appropriate. He didn’t even baulk at possible manslaughter charges. So far he hasn’t denied that he would extend the definition of fascist (who according to him deserves a street punch in the snoot) to people he thought were supporters of: Saddam, Assad, Rwandan government 1994, Rohingya Buddhists and Omar al-Bashir.

I await his response to the ideologically tricky question of whether Linda Sarsour, co-organiser of the Washington DC Women’s March and Hamas supporter, deserves a righteous clocking. We still haven’t determined the minimum and maximum ages, nor the gender, which should be exempt from a good skullf*ck.

Pretty soon, Bob and Dan are going to turn into a cartoon Popeye bing pow.
