Criticism
Tom G. Palmer of the Cato Institute [6] has criticized the blog for carrying columns by controversial figures including:
- Joe Sobran, whom Palmer notes was accused of anti-Semitism by William F. Buckley [7] and who has associated with the Institute for Historical Review (an organization that promotes Holocaust revisionism)
- Gary North, who has called for the stoning of homosexuals and women who promote the use of abortions [8]
- Sam Francis, who led the Council of Conservative Citizens (which according to Palmer's evidence is closely connected to the Ku Klux Klan[9]).
