Tidbits — Southern Poverty Law Center edition

Lots of good stuff in this quarter’s Intelligence Report, published by the SPLC:

  • Marek Jan Chodakiewicz, a historian who downplays the postwar massacres of Jews in Poland, somehow found his way onto the board of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum as a Bush appointee. He’s about to complete his term. IR runs through his past offensive statements, his questionable alliances, but the USHMM (and former Bushies, one presumes) are shtum when it comes to explaining how this bozo got anywhere near commemorating the Holocaust;
  • Cynthia McKinney, former Georgia congresswoman-turned pro-Palestinian activist-turned Green Party leader, is not doing Ralph Nader’s onetime home any favors by flirting with anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers;
  • David Arenberg, a once promising housing rights activist who allowed drug use to ruin his life, writes about how being a lawyer for the Aryan Nations behind bars has helped him find his better Jewish self.
