English anti-Jihad blogger Lionheart is facing prosecution, or really persecution, by the Crown for “inciting racial hatred” in a blatant attempt to silence a man who broke the the story of Muslims “grooming” underage girls for sex long before the media in benighted England picked it up.
Needless to say, many of us who are concerned about Islamic Imperialism have voiced our support for Lionheart. And before I go on to the crux of the matter let me say this: Lionheart is not a neo-Nazi. He is a devout Christian who is in the middle of a low grade civil war in his home. He’s supported the BNP in part because they have switched their positions, especially on issues of Jews, in an effort to remain relevant in the fight for their home.
Whether the BNP is sincere or not (and I’m not convinced they are) is irrelevant, they are the only pro-England anti-Jihadist party in England. Thus Lionheart, a pro-England anti-Jihadist blogger has voiced some frankly lackluster support for them. Leftists claim this makes him a neo-Nazi, partially why he may end up in prison.
So it would seem not the best strategy to repeat spurious claims of Lionheart’s opinions on race that will in fact only help the public lynching he is going to receive in the British press. But repeat the claims we do. Little Green Footballs and Jawa Report have both covered the Lionheart story by including a caveat paragraph about how they don’t agree with Lionheart’s non-existent neo-Nazism.
It’s silly, isn’t it? The only connection they can put forward between Lionheart and Nazism is that he may have voted BNP at some point. The BNP is forever a neo-Nazi party because people and organizations can’t change, I assume. It It’s very similar to Charles Johnson’s hypocritical attacks on the Center for Vigilant Freedom where he basically accused the CVF of knowingly associating with Nazis by attending a meeting with Vlaams Belang, a group who say they aren’t Nazis.
But Charles knows better of course, and as evidence he has most recently trotted out a former Marxist and Anti-Fascist Action member who “saw the light” and is now a trustworthy source to prove that VB and its membership can never see the light and change their views.
Hypocritical? You bet. But the key benefit of being an A-list blogger is the ability to not be called out on your petulant attacks on groups whose main crime was daring to disagree with you. The secondary benefit is that your false charges made from whole cloth are widely publicized and taken as gospel by the thousands of online hangers-on who perform Internet fellatio on your every semi-informative post.
I don’t know why Charles Johnson and company seem to see Nazis everywhere, nor does it really matter. I don’t think the CVF wants or needs my defense of them and I think Lionheart, a man of intense Christian faith, will not mind the attacks on his character as he is the kind of man who suffers for his god and country happily and with great humility.
But I think that this is a defining moment for the West and we need to rally to the aid of this man now because if we don’t he will not be the last blogger persecuted by Marxist governments at the behest of their future Muslim rulers. England is not America, and there is such a thing as thought crimes in that bleak and crumbling country. Our words will be used to hang this man, and ultimately all of us.
But maybe Charles Johnson’s right. Maybe the CVF is full of neo-Nazis and Vlaams Belang is secretly run by a cadre of Hitler worshipers. Maybe Lionheart is the world’s first evangelical National Socialist and I’m the world’s only half black Nazi trying to protect my fellow Nazis from the keen deductive reasoning of American bloggers.
Or maybe if Charles Johnson and company give it a moment and really think about it, they’ll see that their “support” for Lionheart, based on their support for American Constitutional guarantees, really doesn’t help a citizen of the United Kingdom who will have to go to court and prove not that he’s entitled to free speech (in England he isn’t) but that he’s not a racist.
That in mind, let’s try supporting him without calling him a Nazi.
