Hi, Spencer-
Hope all is well and whatnot. Wanted to see if you could help me out with something real quick. Over the last month and a half, I've been writing a bunch of pieces for HuffPo and a few other outlets regarding former Washington Times editor Robert Stacy McCain (who co-wrote Donkey Cons with Lynn Vincent, who ghosted Going Rogue) and his increasingly-evident white supremacist sentiments and neo-Nazi connections. Back in 2002, he wrote under an assumed name for American Renaissance, an white nationalist website. Under the same moniker, he used to link to that site as well the neo-Nazi outlet Overthrow.com from Free Republic and whatnot. There's more along these lines as well, and I've dug up something else over the weekend that I think rounds out the case against him nicely and putting the finishing touches on what I hope will be the last article I have to do on the guy.
So, anyway, I've now teamed up with Charles Johnson of LGF - who's actually a pretty cool guy, as it turns out - to ensure that all of this material gets out and reaches the critical mass necessary to get McCain thrown out of polite society. But Johnson's not as influential as he used to be since he started calling out the nonsense among his old allies, and I'm not really hooked in with too many bloggers myself. I know you're essentially a national security writer, but perhaps you know some people who might be interested in bringing all of this to a wider audience and could forward this e-mail along to them? Here are some links to the pertinent facts. Incidentally, he's also been making goofy threats to go beat up the editorial board of the Charleston Gazette, talking nonsense about how I suck Charles Johnson's dick, and otherwise being a silly-billy. It's an unseemly business.
There's tons more, too. If you can think of someone who might be interested in taking this ball and running with it, please forward this to them.
Also, I met Adam Kruvand a few weeks back - not for the book, he happens to be old friends with a buddy of mine. Had some amusing things to say about Peretz.
