Congressman Paul Gosar tweeted a link on Wednesday to a website that routinely publishes the work of neo-Nazis, white nationalists, and Holocaust deniers.

It was the Republican from Arizona’s latest plunge into the world of far-right extremism, having previously palled around with militias, spoken at a conference organized by a white nationalist, and repeatedly promoted the work of another Holocaust denier.

The website is The Unz Review, which was founded in 2013 by former California businessman Ron Unz, who has written “it far more likely than not that the standard Holocaust narrative is at least substantially false, and quite possibly, almost entirely so.”

Unz, who acts as editor of the website, publishes the work of an array of far-right figures and uses the site to distribute extremist literature, including “The Hoax of the Twentieth Century,” a 1976 book by prominent Holocaust denier Arthur Butz.

1. These people are dangerous . ....

I'm talking about republicans. It is beyond me that BiBi N is so friendly with them.

5. BiBi and the right wingers are using each other.

7. Oh Nevilledog!

I'm so sorry!

This is a reminder to all of us that a lot of excellent Dems live in toxic red states/districts. We can't paint everything with a broad red or blue brush.

I hope you can find someone competent to run against him next year.

6. What is it with dentists?

There are five in Congress, all R's, and three of them voted to overturn the election results.

And, at least per this article, the American Dental Association is in many ways just as powerful as the NRA. I was able to determine that the ADA has suspended contributions to Gosar, not sure about the other two. The ADA has donated over $75,000 to Gosar over the years, making them his biggest donor.

The five are:
Mike Simpson, R-Idaho 2nd
Paul Gosar, R-Arizona 4th
Brian Babin, R-Texas 36th
Drew Ferguson, R-Georgia 3rd
Jeff Van Drew, R-New Jersey 2nd

8. Lots of dentists

are also Mormons, so throw that crazy religion into the mix.

9. Disgusting, but not unexpected.

It is like the cleaning of a house...it never ends. Also, as unexpected, is the predictable mention of "concern about Israel".

10. I just watched the Russian movie White Tiger.

I don't want to give away the ending for anyone who has not seen it but at the end, all I could think about was that the Republican Party is the White Tiger.

11. The UNZ website is bizarre.

For obvious reasons I'm not including the link; but the website has a superb collection of magazine back issues: Atlantic Monthly, Harper's Monthly, The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, The Nation, Saturday Evening Post, I.F. Stone's Weekly, etc. I used it for back issues of Saturday Review-- a marvelous literary magazine founded in 1924 by Norman Cousins. I abandoned the site a couple years ago when the political leanings of the remainder of the site suddenly became blatantly offensive-- I wondered if owners had changed. Anyway, I just checked and the magazine archives are still intact if one is willing to look for them. I wish someone would acquire them separately to detach them from the political filth.
