		<description>That piece about the Greens is hilarious, but I don&#039;t really see how it compares. At least he didn&#039;t have to dig back more than few weeks!

&quot;This isn’t to say that we shouldn’t talk about Halla-aho’s arguments – or that he’s wrong in all issues.&quot;

The problem is that no one is talking about Halla-aho&#039;s arguments in a rational and dispassionate way - he might be wrong about everything but at this rate we will never find out.

It just seems that the media, slow-news-day included, is attempting to avoid all the difficult questions by concentrating solely on people and their ideologies. Everything that seems too complicated or technical (such as the issues of the gun law) is either ignored or simplified to death (should the gun law be more strict yes/no). There&#039;s of course nothing wrong in writing these less demanding stories. We all like to read about nazi sympathies of the evil doctor once in a while!</description>

		<description>The need to dig up old writings wells from pursuit of understanding the motivation and purposes of Jussi Halla-aho. To show what kind of ethics is behind Halla-aho&#039;s political ideas, using his own writings, isn&#039;t criticism of his character. It&#039;s an analysis of his political ideology. Now that he is a member of parliament and the chairman of the Administration Committee, his ideological attachments matter. One can&#039;t just point to his campaign material and say &quot;this is all he stands for&quot;. Politics isn&#039;t just manifestos and nice (or sour) ideals, it&#039;s also about people and their morals, behavior, actions and connections, the very stuff that make politicians. This isn&#039;t to say that we shouldn&#039;t talk about Halla-aho&#039;s arguments - or that he&#039;s wrong in all issues.

By the way, Halla-aho and his supporters shouldn&#039;t mind the referring of his writings the way done in &lt;i&gt;slow-news-day.net&lt;/i&gt;. It&#039;s what he does too - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.halla-aho.com/scripta/oppitunteja_politiikan_etiikasta.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;like today!&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>&quot;The immigration and gun policies are among Halla-aho’s heartfelt interests. So what kind of politics can we expect from him?&quot;

There&#039;s really no need to dig up several year old writings as Halla-aho has kindly provided us with very detailed articles on both subjects. These can be very conveniently found from halla-aho.com/index.php/vaaliteemat/.

Plenty of pieces have already been published in the net and in the papers about Halla-aho&#039;s person and mindset. Even a book has been written about this guy! Niemelä does indeed go a long way into details in his argument against Halla-aho. However, seems like he too is attacking the man and not the issues he has raised. Which one is more important, the blogger or the arguments presented in the blog?</description>

		<description>We must remember that any time Suomen Sisu or the webforum this group started, the Hommaforum, are mentioned in any way except completely without criticism, these people either deny everything, tell the writer has misunderstood, or they simply accuse the mentioner of hate, prejudice,  etc. towards &quot;immigration critical&quot; people (a codeword for anti-immigration opinions) 

Even a very moderate criticism is a negative thing for these people because they try to maintain full control of all aspects of their popular image, even though that is impossible and they have largely lost that control. Their thinking and actions both reek of facism in more ways than one.</description>
