This comment is in response to a blog post over at YAF-Watch. The post informed readers of the Anti-Defamation League's recent decision to include last week's speech by British Nationalist Nick Griffin as an "Extremist Event."
-The ADL (Anti-Defamation League) is an admittedly leftist organization promoting the values of secular pluralism. Is it really any surprise that they tagged the Nick Griffin speech as an "Extremist Event"?
Still, their declaring it so is not without warrant! It was most certainly an extremist event. The videos tell it all. They way those in the audience conducted themselves was beyond extreme. In fact, it bordered obscene.
The left at MSU ought to be ashamed of themselves. These extremists are fowl, angry, intolerant, and violent. The true markings of those who are both intellectually and morally bankrupt. -

Do you support the Nick Griffin Speech and the BNP?
So then, would you say some of Mr. Griffin's views would constitute extremist? For instance, the parties constitution limiting membership to whites?
For those who adhere to a pluralistic worldview, those positions would most certainly be extreme. Then again, abortion on demand, no-fault divorce, and the abolition of sodomy laws could be, and are in many cases, seen as extremist positions. It really all boils down to your worldview.
Still, I think it is rather bizarre for those who claim to cherish notions such as freedom of speech and freedom of assembly to be in an outrage over the BNP, MSU-YAF, or any of the events that have taken place. Disagree all day long, that is fine. In fact, it is healthy! But to react with labels of "hate," "Nazi," "fascist," "racist," and "bigot" (as so many have done) is rather unfortunate.
