New Hampshire Democrat Dodges Libel Suit with More Lies

Late in November I wrote here at FrontPage about how Raymond Buckley, Chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, called me a "White supremacist" in the run-up to my speaking event in his cold little state, and repeatedly refused to retract when asked to do so.

Christie reveals a common but little-known tactic of the Left: build new lies upon old ones, to create a tower of mendacity as costly to counter as it is dishonest.

In explaining why Buckley was refusing to retract his false claim, Christie asserted that before Buckley lied about me, there had been what Christie called "Numerous published reports regarding Mr. Spencer serving as a basis for the statement complained of." Christie then cited articles from the Southern Poverty Law Center, Think Progress, the Daily Beast, and something called The Sisterhood, all claiming that I am a "White nationalist," "White supremacist," or "Racist."

The SPLC article that Christie cites bases its claim that I'm a "White nationalist" on an article I published eight years ago defending Western civilization, which is not, contrary to what the SPLC thinks, a "White nationalist" position to take.

Although the easiest way for Christie to defend Buckley's lie would have been to quote me in the act of being "White supremacist," Christie's letter contains no quotations from me at all, because there are no quotations from me that make his case.

Now despite the fact that none of his supporting evidence has any foundation whatsoever, Christie, and Buckley as well, are on ground that seems stronger than it is: if we sue, they can produce not one, but four different sources calling me a white supremacist and racist.

The reason why there was any controversy at all over my appearance in New Hampshire was because years ago, Leftists and their Islamic allies such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations decided to target and destroy all those who dared speak honestly about the motivating ideology behind jihad terrorism, by calling us racists, bigots, white supremacists, and the like.
