1. So I have some thoughts on Ezra Pound, White Citizen Councils & pro-segregationist violence, the Southern Strategy, Hugh Kenner, National Review, Regnery Books, the militia movement, Alex Jones, & the unwritten history of the American right.

If this doesn't cover Eustace Mullins, Robert Anton Wilson, *and* Marshall McLuhan, I'm going home.

Yes, and he praised Impact, published by Regnery, which was an attempt to assemble a collection of Pound's economic writing with the racist & anti-Semitic material taken out.

He also loved to quote Pound's meeting with Allen Ginsburg, where Pound apologized for having embraced the "stupid, suburban prejudice of anti-Semitism" & Ginsburg praised Pound's economics. (Placing Ginsburg, and arguably Wilson, among the world's few Left Poundians.)

Were they interested in Pound's politics as well as his poetry?

I think they were interested in the the way politics & poetry could be combined, although they wanted to do so for the left.
