No...I don't really appreciate being misquoted.<br /><br />Nosferatu wrote:<br /><br />"...Our friend Harry doesn't believe that Link Byfield himself harbours racist views himself..."<br /><br />That's a whole lot different than what I posted in comment to an article that discussed Mr. Link Byfield attempting to suggest that just because he was seen or known to share a podium with Fromm, doesn't necessarily mean that Byfield shared or shares Fromm's values and attitudes. <br /><br />I personally don't know whether Mr. Byfield does or doesn't. But a friend of mine who I consider sensitive to racism conveyed to me their experience that Byfield wasn't. <br /><br />I mind remind one and all again, that Paul Fromm commonly makes a practice of misrepresenting himself, sometimes as an innocuous "free speech" advocate, or "immigration pundit," and by so doing, gains audiences an even media coverage in what I would call a less than honest way. So one should not be too quick to judge others just because they happen to be standing next to Fromm on a podium or at any given event. <br /><br />Without canvasing Mr. Byfield personally, or lacking any other substantive evidence it's simply not fair to tar the man as a presumed racist, or to misquote me one way or the other on the subject.
