REPORT: Last year he caught flak for tweeting an iSteve article about PC being a war on noticing. Then it came out that he’s been friends for some time with Jim Goad, the hilarious writer for Taki, who’s pretty much openly racist, homophobic, and anti-semitic. Now Buzzfeed has what appears to be a fairly recent picture of Oswalt hanging out with not just Goad, but also Nick Bougas. Bougas is much better known as A. Wyatt Mann, the cartoonist who drew sometimes hilarious but always shockingly offensive cartoons about Jews, blacks, and Mexicans for White Aryan Resistance, Tom Metzger’s old newspaper.
Oswalt has always been pretty left-wing politically, but it’s always been sort of clear from his rants about the tastes and intelligence of KFC customers that he doesn’t think much of low IQ blacks, which pretty much everyone knows is KFC’s main base. But he seems to be really pushing the envelope hanging out with Jim Goad and A. Wyatt Mann. But this article has been out for a few days and I haven’t noticed it getting much traction. It’s hard to believe Larry the Cable Guy could hang out with Goad and Bougas and not catch hell.
And notice how the writer tries to spin Bougas’s cartoons as possibly “ironic”, saying that Bougas may have drawn them to ridicule racists. They appeared in Tom Metzger’s paper, for crying out loud. They were apparently commissioned by Metzger. The idea that these cartoons were”ironic” is ludicrous.
