It will certainly do nothing to refute his claims. Rather it’s better to point out his fraudulent bigotry, starting with this <A href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2002/09/14/do1402.xml">ludicrous 9/11 conspiracy theory</A>. I had a few goes at this <A href="http://johnquiggin.com/index.php/archives/2002/09/29/the-bunyip-rises-to-the-bait/">back in the day</A>, when people other than RWDBs took Steyn seriously. At this point, refuting Steyn is scarcely necessary (or wasn’t until this silly prosecution gave him oxygen).</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EB11D73A-75DD-4ABC-A818-CDE810199CDA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
