The Sheehan/Nazi thing has generated some amazingly bilious email — and I’m pretty immune to regular hate mail. I’m not going to spend the day discussing this whole thing any more. My intent was not to argue ad Hitlerum about Sheehan supporters, but it is interesting to me how they’ve got no problem doing exactly that. Anyway, I said pretty much everything I need to on the substance of this stuff here. It seems to me that it would be the right thing for the various blogs which misconstrued my original post to post my explanation as well rather than freelance a lot of nonsense.

However, I do owe Kathryn and NRO an apology. We do have a policy — which a couple emailers reminded me about — of not linking to neo-Nazi and hate groups (including, of course, Up With People), which I did in that original post. Sorry about that. Won’t happen again.

And, yes, I’m kidding about the Up With People thing.
