The end of SNN?

"Tom Paine" of Shire Network News, a podcast to which I've been contributing audio commentaries for some time now, interviews the leader of Belgium's far-right Valaams Belang political party - and confronts him about the racist elements of the party platform.

Unfortunately, the interview has caused a schism between some of the people who put together SNN every week. But I think Tom did the right thing in calling out this neo-fascist, and that mainstream conservatives should have nothing to do with European ultra-right political movements like the VB, the Sweden Democrats, the Swiss People's Party or the British National Party.

A commenter at LGF put it best: "Anti-Islamofascism is not anti-Muslim or anti anything but anti-fascist. An alliance with fascists who are opposed to Islamofascism is still an alliance with fascists."
