I've raised this once already, and if no one thinks it's worth pursuing this time, I'll give up on the idea, and harp on about it no longer. But I honestly don't see why the left couldn't justifiably claim a third National Review scalp - and a far more prominent one at that than the crank John Derbyshire ever was; this one being the key conservative advocate of a war against Islam, and the close pal of Rush Limbaugh - Andy McCarthy; and at the same time deal a devastating blow, given that the most 'distinguished' figure would be shockingly the third sacked for racist associationgs.
Would this not be a viable goal, purely on the basis of Andy McCarthy's 5 year's of friendly correspondence with Lawrence Auster who runs the virulently racist site View from the Right; correspondence which he frequently gave permission to be published on said site.
Previously I gave no examples of this correspondence. Here's one I found using google, but I know for sure there are many more:
http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/020887.html
And here's a brief selection of articles that have featured on View From the Right during that period:

http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/022187.html
pro-BNP article:
http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/013095.html
There are so many more where these came from, many far worse, I just couldn't be bothered dredging through the mud to find them. The above was the result of 5 mins googling. Am I foolishly optimistic for thinking Max (or others who read this site) could really make something of this?

it's disgusting that anyone would publicly associate w auster/VftR, but the association itself doesn't seem like much of a smoking gun, imo. especially given that "andy mccarthy" is an unfamiliar name to most (shameful as that fact may be).

You may very well be right, but the second guy to be sacked from NRO David Weissberg, was let go for having given a speech at a (white nationalist) American Renaissance conference, even though the speech itself apparently - according to one account I read - didn't actually advocate white nationalism. Well View from the Right has on many occasions endorsed Jared Taylor/American Renaissance (most recently a Jared Taylor speech about the Trayvon Martin killing.) They've had their differences too on certain issues, key among them anti-semitism, given that Lawrence Auster is Jewish and so opposes that particular form of bigotry). But I'm not sure how Andy McCarthy's half decade long (and currently ongoing) association with a racist American Renaissance-supporting website could be judged as significantly less bad than a one-off speech at an American Renaissance conference that was deemed a sacking offense.

I was thinking that the MOA ad could be a fake since the IOC are notoriously tetchy about anyone appropriating the rings, but hey turns out it's the official beer of New Zealand's Olympic team. Good work, New Zealand.

So a committed anti-nationalist white woman ritually circumcizes a Willendorf Veunus shaped cake made by a black gay guy for an art day. There are so many buttons to push here, my mind boggles. The aesthetics are <insert adjective here that I can't even begin to think of>
― L'ennui, cette maladie de tous les (Michael White), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 15:52 (twelve years ago) link
I'm inclined to say this is not racist and just a really weird art piece that requires a lot of context to get. The Willendorf Venus + African/black artist + attempts to address issue of genital mutiliation (?) would indicate there's a good deal more going on here than meets the eye

I think shakey's right, certainly if you saw it by itself in an art gallery it would give you pause for thought. but when the picture is of a smiling white woman cutting into it surrounded by smiling and laughing white photographers - the o_O is overwhelming.

Yeah, which I'm assuming was, at least in part, what the artist was probably going for.

I'm kind of w/Laurel on this. Even if I give the Swedes involved the benefit of the doubt as a different culture, etc..., I still can't get over the idea of objectifying a victim whose plight one deplores into a red-centered cake.
