A CAT, I'm amused by antifa's Anti-First Amendment requests. As far as I know Lee, is just dumb and says dumb things.
Why stop him? There's nothing wrong with throwing up some stickers. Hell, crazy people like Lee do so much bad publicity for the Hate Movements that they might as well be multi-culturists.
Yeah, they can be lulzy, but I personally haven't much enjoyed their presence since a pack of Guardian Angels in Boston spent 30 minutes trying to go through my bag to prove that I wasn't the person that graffiti-ized a club's bathroom.
"If you think a search is warranted, call the police and let them do it, I'll still be here" enraged them for some reason, and they called in their "captain" or whatever.
I love that Mirk's picked up Matt's "CONTACT ME WITH ANY INFORMATION!!1!" schtick. It's like the news room is being run by a cadre of brain-damaged Jimmy Olsens.
I agree with Graham. Let the nut say what he wants. First Amendment aside (tho the analysis really should stop there), he is his own worst publicity. Tho he sure does have a nice haircut.
I didn't think he could be any more of an ass. Now how exactly does one quote from Vedic texts and still be all white power? That's as funny as the Aryan Xtians claiming Jesus was not a Jew.
For a group that calls itself anti-fascist, Rose City Antifa seems to delight in fascistic behavior. A recent, brief, fly-by defamation attempt by one of the benighted Antifa appeared on the Shift list, where is was mostly ignored except by those who denounced it.
This guy Lee may be a whack-job, but I'm much more creeped out by the notion of a secret cabal of group-thinking, lock-stepping Little Hitlers running around town trying to ruin anyone they don't agree with. Ick.
Graham - what the hell are you talking about? The blog entry asks: Is the mystery man from the Naked Bike Ride video the same guy who's been distributing racist stickers?
You bash Mirk and say you're tired of doing her fucking research, but the links you posted have nothing to do with that question. WTF are you talking about, and why don't you STFU?
OK, I finally scanned over the indymedia link. Is there some "evidence" that I missed between the accusations and the "here's the bad mans address!!!" part?
@Reymont The links I provided were links showing that Lee is a well known and out-spoken racist. Thus showing a possible correlation to hate-speech stickers being put up in his neighborhood.
I had posted these links providing background info on Lee in a previous thread about Lee. Because smirk has the mental competancy of a Cobra Soldier she never remembers stuff like this.
And also to re-iterate what other people are asking, "WHAT THE FUCK IS SAFE-SPACE PORTLAND"?
@Graham - so you posted background information about the guy. That's interesting, but it sure wasn't central to the question being asked. Holy crap, how does choosing not to list some mildly-related backstory in a casual fucking blog make her a mental incompetent? Calm the fuck down!
Oh dear Portland. A city that is proclaimed for its progressive values and multiculturalism. Yet despite this exalted claim it holds the position of 4th whitest city in the US.
With such liberal values founded in deep seeded white-privilege /guilt no wonder it finds itself comfortable with allowing white supremacists to organize violent pogrom politics in its ivory neighborhoods. Not to mention the obvious demographic white 20-something hipsters that inhabit these threads whom would rather insult one another with trite witty comments than ever take on a issue that directly threatens their exalted status as white aloof hipsters.
Perhaps it would be best to consider the people of color who are always targets to such racist politics and a long bloody (recent) history of white supremacy before screaming freedom of speech and being so permissive of such racist filth.
I guess it'll take someone trying to ruin your nearly-all-white bike fun before you get bent out of shape. In the meantime go back to what you do best, mooch off mommy and daddy, drink Pabst and listen to crappy music.
Oh dear NonServiam: way to be completely irrelevant to the central discussion and occupy the easiest space of unearned moral high ground simultaneously. You sound like a Reed student trying to get laid.
The charming thing about the flyers? Each and every one has this guy's address on it. I'm way more creeped out by the antifacists then some old crazy slaphead.
@NonServiam: You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Portland, Seattle, Idaho and Montana have had real problems with Neo-Nazis in the past. Like curb stomping problems. This isn't new. If anything, it's likely a remnant from the late 80s-mid 90s.
And as long as this guy isn't one of the mentioned violent Neo Nazis, he has just as much right to be a racist jackass as you do to be a run of the mill jackass.
Nice to see the Portland Mercury going along with law-breaking, harassing, libeling thugs like these "Antifas." Congratulations, Big Brother would be so proud!
I've known Julian Lee for a few years. He's quite adamant that he is NOT the fellow posting those National Alliance "AIDS" stickers, and I'm quite sure he's not lying to me. He might well be doing other things that would piss off the same people who wouldn't care for those NA stickers (I'm pretty sure his righteously standing up to nude bicyclists would count as one such thing), but Julian Lee doesn't have any connection to that organization, and certainly isn't posting their stickers. I understand some of you don't care for his views, but this story is irresponsible. While you phrase it in the form of a question (perhaps with an eye on the slander laws), you're in effect accusing an innocent man. That's piss poor journalism, I must say.
Meanwhile, some "antifa" clowns are not only posting fliers with his photo, name, and street address (in an obvious attempt to incite violence against Mr. Lee), but they have also assaulted him, and even stolen his corncob pipe! See for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhtHKZF25Os
LULZ, Julian Lee being racist and crazy in our local paper: http://blog.oregonlive.com/myoregon/2009/0…
LULZ^2, Julian Lee being made fun of for being a crazy old man. And it's being done on a White Nationalism message board: http://stumbleinn.net/forum/showthread.php…
If you were to put some words into Google, you might track down more stuff like this just as easily as I did. Do they still teach research in college?

She at times has shown some flair for being a journalist, but has fallen under the siren song of hack-itude that Matt Davis exudes.
