By offensive, I assume you are refering to the cupboard comment Brasillach made in his diary. If anything, that makes him appear callous, cold-hearted and completely divorced from the terrible plight he helped inflict on French jewry. I don't know how the comment could be interpretted in any other light. However, after reading the way I originally cast his last words "wit, sang froid and a lack of repentence" (or something like that), I realized that this was total POV - I think calling out "Long Live France Anyway" when being shot by Frenchmen for crimes against France was witty and evidence of sang froid and that, like many distasteful people (Saddam being a recent example), he "died well" - but expressing that feeling (certainly it wasn't a fact!), is, I understand, inappropriate in a Wiki article.

It would be great if Brasillach's literary oeuvre could be expanded upon here. Ditto his activities with Je suis partout.99.240.142.65 (talk) 04:30, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FYI - It is a little cheeky to ask me to provide citations for the latest edit considering that there are no cites for anything in this entire article. Read Kaplan, a source quoted as a reference before my edit and a very balanced source, and critical of the author, I might add. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.142.65 (talk) 04:48, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When adding quotations, especially offensive ones, you really need to provide in-line citations. See WP:CS. --Odie5533 (talk) 04:51, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
