Some conservative wackos provide us with a list of the most dangerous books of the 19th and 20th centuries. The very idea of a list of “dangerous” books makes my skin crawl; sure, there are some disturbing titles here (Mein Kampf, for example), but labelling any work as “dangerous” is a step down a rather scary path.

Also, n.b. that they aren’t limited to the ravings of dictators: they include “The Kinsey Report,” “The Feminine Mystique,” and, in their honorable mention category (irony presumably theirs), “Silent Spring,” “Second Sex,” “Origin of the Species,” and “Unsafe at Any Speed.” One wonders what “dangerous” ideas are included therein?

Update: Joey Accordian Guy DeVilla noticed the list as well, and supplies this choice quote:

There’s a bonus list at the bottom of the page: it’s the 15 biggest douchebags of the 21st century.
