No more evidence needed that Day alone is a right wing hate group all by himself.
And anybody who isn't appalled enough by that guy to stay away from him can't be much better.

The slandering isn't exactly one sided there. Charles Stross (whom I actually like as an author) calls him a jackbooted neo-nazi. Ted Beale (i.e. Vox Day) and John Scalzi (whom I also like as an author) are currently engaged in a flame war all across the internet. Can't say that I've ever read any of Ted Beale's books, nor am I a fan of some of the view points he pushes, but then again I'm not a big fan of Stross or Scalzi's political views either and even less fond of their method of discussing different views.
