I fully expect the National Front to gain seats in France.

Seriously dude? I hope this is tongue in cheek, otherwise it's just plain stupid.

Nothing like a little homicide victim blaming.

Stay classy, Islam.

Sure, but its their right. If they want to use their free(ish) speech to ask for their not to be any free(ish) speech I'm cool with that. Then we can use our free(ish) speech to say that their free(ish) speech is stupid.

I know and I've argued against people who think Muslims are oppressing the native population. Regardless, arguments to censor free speech are not welcomed.

The national front is a party founded in anti-semitism. It is a much worse alternative than having a Muslim population.

What does that have to do with the price of tea? In democracies, people make bad choices all the time. In 1933 the Nazis got 44% of the vote. In a special election in France this week , the NF got 48%.

Pretending that you can't see the handwriting on the wall will not make it go away.

I thought you were promoting the national front party, something that would be weird considering you're not fond of conservatives. Sorry.

Ah. I see.

No. Predicting a result does not equal approval of that result.

Human nature being what it is I find that as a pessimist I am rarely disappointed.

Indeed, I hope we don't see massive immigration being countered with white supremacism and anti-semitism.

He's right that there will be backfire.

He's wrong if he's plumping for it.
