Vox Day is the pseudonym of author Theodore Beale under which he has written a syndicated column on video games, a blog and a WorldNetDaily column. He has also contributed several articles to BenBella Books' SmartPop anthology series under this pen name.

Controversies

In September 2004, Day publicly challenged fellow WorldNetDaily commentator Michelle Malkin to an on-air debate on the Northern Alliance Radio Show after writing a pair of columns criticizing numerous factual inaccuracies in her book "In Defense of Internment". Malkin declined the debate.

In May 2006 Day was criticised repeatedly on air by national radio host Michael Medved for an article published on WorldNetDaily in which he compared removal of illegal immigrants in the United States of America to the Jewish Holocaust while opposing a fence on the southern border of the United States. His statement were as follows:

If it took the Germans less than four years to rid themselves of 6 million Jews, many of whom spoke German and were fully integrated into German society, it couldn't possibly take more than eight years to deport 12 million illegal aliens, many of whom don't speak English and are not integrated into American society.

This portion of the article has since been removed from the WorldNetDaily website but is available in its original form at Day's web site. Other targets of his controversial style of criticism have included Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo and conservative commentator Ben Shapiro.
