9/02/2003 11:47:00 AM | Timothy MEChA Ted Barlow at Crooked Timber has the most comprehensive and convincing piece responding to those who say Cruz Bustamante belonged to a racist organization in college. Here is one loooong post from Ornicus as well. I await Emmett's response to evaluate. Matt Rustler has a post on Bustamante and says: "I just Fisked The Blogfather. Sure hope I know what I'm doing." Instahack sure messed up. ALSO: Kausfiles complains of Bustamante: "The one thing he didn't do is renounce the slogan, 'For the race everything. For those outside the race, nothing.'" Uh... but that isn't really the best translation of the slogan, as Kaus himself noted yesterday! Kaus is upset because Bustamante won't renounce a mistranslation?!? Sure, Bustamante would say "Racial separatism is wrong" but didn't denounce MEChA directly. But it's not clear to me he should have. I have no idea why Bustamante needs to have the courage to denounce right-wing distortions of sayings in MEChA. I'm not sure I should have said Barlow's piece was the "most comphrensive and convincing" one on MEChA. Ornicus is certainly comphrehensive. Barlow has also admitted an error in his post, but it still seems in its main point to be a persuasive and hard-hitting piece. Check out the comments in Yglesias and in Tacitus. Tacitus says: "Finally, Barlow concludes that on this issue, the 'right [is] engaged in a cynical smear job.' An unsurprising conclusion, really. I'm sure that some on the right are doing just that... [mention of Fox News]... As for my argument, and me personally, it doesn't affect either one bit." I also found it funny that Atzlan.net seems to be more supportive of Arnold than Bustamante. Heh. ANOTHER UPDATE: See NotGeniuses' post. perma link |
