I wrote much of this several months ago, about Ezra Klein's response to the Kirk assassination, and then never ended up publishing it, but I think this UO "controversy" is a such a perfect example of how TPUSA et al actually advance conservative power that I decided to revive and rewrite it.

S'opposer au fascisme, à l'extrême-droite, nécessite une clarté absolue sur le fond et la forme. Pas de "oui mais il faut écouter les autres" quand il s'agit de l'ED.
