What's more frightening than the Right's "Most Harmful Books" list?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

The fact that some books are NOT on that list.

Namely:

The Turner Diaries

and

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Not on the list.

Not harmful.

That's what the Right believes.

Let THAT sink in.

1. To answer your question:

The folks who came up with that list are more frightening than the list, IMO.

2. Well, isn't Protocols a fraud?

One might as well complain that the Necronomicon isn't on the list if it's open to phony books.

6. Here's the difference:

Everybody *knows* the Necronomicon is abook that doesn't really exist (even if there are books by that title, they aren't the "real" Necronomicon). Lots of people, unfortunately, still believe the Protocols is non-fiction.

8. I actually find most of the "harmful" books rather helpful.

"Mein Kampf" is a fascinating study of the evil the human mind is capable of.
