I’m pretty sure the last place I’d have expected to see apparent praise for a white supremacist politician like former Rhodesian prime minister Ian Smith would be at Samizdata. Then again, I’m not used to reading much praise of Smith contemporaries like Ross Barnett, Lester Maddox, and George Wallace from recent writers either, not spending much time surfing the websites of the neo-Confederate fringe.

Hardly a hagiography, Chris. All Paul is doing is pointing out the reportage is not very accurate and the only nice thing he really says about Smith is that his predictions were proved correct (and clearly Zimbabwe has indeed gone to hell in a hand basket). At no point is Paul ‘sainting’ Ian Smith.
