When the late, right-wing, Council of Conservative Citizens-loving actor Charleton Heston went after Ice-T's band Body Count for their song "Cop Killer" there wasn't any discussion about how Heston was violating Ice-T's First Amendment rights, and when Ice-T severed ties with his record label, there wasn't any discussion about how Heston deprived Ice-T of his right to speak. So it is especially curious how a white supremacist media organization called the National Policy Institute (NPI) posts the story recently, highlighting a particular quote from Heston from an interview: "And I shamed Time Warner, the largest entertainment conglomerate in the world, into firing Ice T and dropping the album."

It is especially curious because the National Policy Institute's new Executive Director is Richard B. "Dick" Spencer, who has been particularly vocal against anyone who was similarly critical of those who for the second time in a row was able to similarly shut down the white supremacist American Renaissance Conference (AmRen), posting updates regularly on the NPI website as well as his own, Alternative Right and a new blog that updated people on what was happening to AmRen as it was getting shut down. It was after the conference’s fate was sealed that the article about Ice-T was posted on NPI – with the organization praising Charlton Heston as "a great American who always stood up for what he thought was right, no matter what the personal cost to himself." We can say the same even moreso about the people who stood up to AmRen and the people it attracts. Among those losers is Spencer, who is one of this cluster of young idiots in recent years who come out of the crowd that Pat and Bay Buchanan built around them.

After graduating from the University of Virginia in 2001, doing grad studies at the University of Chicago and Duke University, and working as an English teacher at the private, all boys college prepatory Blue Ridge School in Charlottesville, VA, Spencer found himself in 2005 working as an associate editor for Pat Buchanan’s American Conservative magazine. In 2006, Dick Spencer along with his friends, the ever-so-comedic fascist Marcus Epstein, Kevin DeAnna, the founder of Youth for Western Civilization, and current senior editor of the American Conservative Daniel McCarthy founded a group called the Robert Taft Club to bring together like-minded people to discuss ways to undermine our nation’s freedoms by calling it preserving our nation’s freedoms. Like-mindedness took on some rather dubious traits as this was an organization that catered to white supremacists regularly like American Renaissance’s Jared Taylor, National Review’s John Derbyshire and the fascist clowns of the Flemish separatist party Vlaams Belang. This however has not kept your more mainstream conservatives from staying away from the group, particularly the more questionable ones. Among those who have either spoke at or attended a Robert Taft Club event have been Rep. Ron Paul, longtime conservative propagandist Richard Vigurie, Human Events editor Terry Jeffries and James O’Keefe, who attended and reportedly helped out at a Taft Club forum in 2006, and is best known for dressing up like a pimp and entering the offices of the group ACORN to secretly videotape them suggesting illegal activities. After it was determined the videos were doctored ACORN was vindicated from such charges, but the damage had already been done and the group had to fold.

The Taft Club has not done much in years, and a lot of info concerning them started to disappear from the web after Epstein started catching hell when it was revealed he went on a drunken rampage in 2007, attacking a black woman while calling her racial slurs. He has not been doing much publicly since, but he still shows up at events in DC about immigration and paleoconservatism, particularly with his friend Spencer around.

In 2008, Dick Spencer left the American Conservative to take the editor's position at Taki’s Magazine, which is run by Taki Theodoracopulos, who - keeping with the Pat Buchanan lineage - helped found the American Conservative along with Buchanan and Scott McConnell, and who is so much a paleoconservative, Spencer once said of him that he was a fascist – as a compliment! Spencer stayed there until late the following year, and it was while he was there that he let his more racist leanings out of the bag. "By 2009, I was much more willing to express heretical views on race and egalitarianism, as well as write more forthrightly on culture," he said in a interview. In 2010 he left Takimag to start up AlternativeRight.com to expand the hatemongering just a tad more.

To be more nuanced about it, Spencer considers his blog AlternativeRight.com, which he started in 2010 to be part of the blogosphere that gets its drive from the discredited journalist and fake scientist Steve Sailer and his "human biodiversity" BS. Basically, this is eugenics rebranded, Sailer himself coining the term in 1996. His "Human Biodiversity Institute" is simply an opportunity for white supremacists to get together and discuss selective breeding of the human race, and if you get involved with it, your credibility takes the express route to the crapper. That's the case with Spencer. "This (Alternative Right) is white nationalism, folks, dressed up in faux-intellectualism," blogger E.D. Kain wrote on the True/Slant blog. "Indeed, they are so ‘alternative’ that Spencer has disavowed paleo-conservatism altogether, claiming that 'Sadly, a lot of paleo[-conservatives] now… have actually denounced human biological diversity. Paleo-conservatism is now irrelevant.'" Kain goes on to note that when you are talking about human biological diversity in this context, it means "essentialy that some races are superior to others", but we don't know any other context it can be put in. And Spencer's heart is broken because a lot of folks within his circles would much rather keep their distance from this crap.

By this point Spencer racism now has everyone's attention. For starters there's the pissing contest he had with David Frum and the folks at FrumForum. First an article by Tim Mak ripped AlternativeRight.com apart, then Alex Knepper wrote about his own experience with Spencer during the 2009 Conservative Political Action Conference:

"I happen to intermittently know Richard Spencer, the site’s director. Through a couple of mutual contacts, I met him in the midst of CPAC 2009 and received a ride from him from Washington DC’s Dupont Circle, where we were each protesting the censorship imposed upon Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders, to the Marriott Hotel where the convention was being held.

"Along the way, things got a little testy. We somehow got into discussing biological differences between the races. Our ideological differences soon emerged, though, because, simply put, I am an individualist and he is a collectivist.

"'Show me one black nation that’s ever been run competently,' he challenged me.

"'That’s a ridiculous methodology. I’ll accept that claim for argument’s sake and still say that it’s bogus: African nations have not failed because the skin color of the people is black. The skin color is just a coincidence. It’s the culture that’s the problem.'

"'Not true,' he said. 'You look at Liberia, where ex-slaves went back to Africa, tried to bring American ideals to the country, and failed, because the blacks wouldn’t accept them.'

"'This is not Western,' I said. 'How can you possibly claim to stand for Western civilization? What’s brilliant about our values is that they stand for the individual, not the supremacy of the group. You come to America, you’re judged by your merits — not by what you look like.'

After a few more back-and-forths, we arrived at our destination, and as our car-mates went ahead, he told me to stay with him for a minute so he could talk to me. As the others faded into the background, he moved just inches away from my face, gave me a menacing look and yelled: 'You little child. How dare you talk to me — me! — about the West! You don’t know the first thing about the West! You’re a little twelve-year-old who thinks he knows shit. Don’t you ever talk to me like that again or I will beat your face into the fucking ground!'"

Spencer's response was to fire off his own, rather petty blog entry titled "David Frum's Satanic Girlymen" which didn't address a single thing that Knepper wrote, instead resorting to just calling him, among other things, a "Satanic, anti-Catholic, eugenicist Mormon-basher". A\Apparently Knepper didn't lose any sleep over this (or maybe he did from too much laughing that Spencer called him a eugenicist!), as he responded with a reiteration that Spencer is aa "intellectual coward".

Now in the interest of full disclosure, we should note that Spencer doesn't care too much for One People's Project. He is pretty tight with Jared Taylor and tried to assist when the American Renaissance conferences started suffering their cancellations, which as many people know we have been a party to. When the 2011 conference suffered that fate, he started a blog to keep people up to speed on developments, and when the conference was officially put down, he was promised to provide a live stream - that patrons paid $10 for - to see the AmRen speakers give their presentations in an "undisclosed location". Well, that didn't work out either. For some reason Spencer said the live stream could not happen and instead he will provide the recordings of those speeches in the near future. To date, only two of them have been made available.

The cute thing is how, as this crowd often does, Spencer effortlessly tried to make all this an example of some sort of tyrrany that threatens to tear apart the very fabric of the globe or whatever. When the conference was cancelled, he wrote, "This episode should alarm not only the movement for European identity but all decent people who want to live in a free society." Is that so? Well, a free society would include Ice-T right to produce records that don't get censored when Charlton Heston is mad at you, but that was okay with Spencer. Even more to the point, as we learned as we were writing this, a free society apparently should not be somthing a Libyan fighting for it should have either. A Mar 7, 2011 blog entry by Spencer titled - you are going to have to sit down for this one - "Save Gadaffi" is him freaking out because the Libyan Dictator Muammar Gaddafi and his son Seif warned that if he is deposed, hordes of African immigrants will sweep Italy and France. To quote Seif: "You will see the pirates in Sicily, in Crete, in Lampedusa. You will see millions of illegal immigrants. The terror will be next door." Talk like that gets to Dick Spencer's sweet spot and he went for it:

"I recognize that this is a cry in the wilderness, but -- for once! -- could Western foreign-policy makers put aside their "democracy" fetish and actually pursue what is best for us? Gadaffi and his sons are people we can deal with. The stability of his dictatorship is infinitely more attractive than the refugee crisis that would almost certainly ensue were the Libyan regime to disintegrate."

So a guy who's lunacy is being compared to that of Charlie Sheen that's saying his people are hopped up on instant coffee laced with drugs from Al Qaeda, who not only is killing his people just as he has in the past and has kept an iron grip on his country 42 years is preferable to his people enjoying the freedoms he demands for himself? The DEA should run tests on Spencer's Nescafe.

Spencer has another outlet for all this crap. In 2008, Elizabethtown College professsor Paul Gottfried founded the H.L. Mencken Club, which bears a logo similar to that of the Robert A. Taft Club: a drawing of H.L Mencken (as opposed to Robert Taft) to the left of the club's name. Interestingly enough. Taft Club founder Dick Spencer is also a member of the Mencken club, and sure enough it holds the same politics and attracts the same people. They have held three conferences so far in Mencken's hometown of Baltimore that featured some well known white nationalists like VDARE'S Peter Brimelow and Steve Sailer, and plan to hold their fourth in November, 2011. Spencer also works closely with his friend Kevin DeAnna and his group Youth for Western Civilization, and was invited to speak at Vanderbilt University in October 2010. Let's just say he was treated as any neo-Nazi would have been treated if he came to speak on any campus.

Truth be told, Spencer more than likely has given up on trying to be in the mainstream of society, which he should. This brand of politics had it's time, and it isn't coming back. Period. We suppose for Dick being a hatemonger pays well, otherwise he would just do a skiing blog or something from his spot in Montana. If he thinks the designs he keeps suggesting for this society are going to have any true success however, we opine that he hit one of those trees while skiing just a little too hard. Sadly, not hard enough. He still lives.

Kevin DeAnna is not the dumbest guy in the White Power scene, but we only make that assessment for one reason. He is smart enough not to say the trigger words that would peg him among mainstreamers as a white supremacist. That gives him the opportunity to say things like, “I'm…enjoying the casual labeling of us as "white supremacist" even though no one can seem to point to anything that we said that is so offensive.” Needless to say, this is also what gets him access to the conservative mainstream at least, but that’s not saying much. For one thing conservatives won’t work too hard to remove the hatemongers in their circles and seem to be all too happy to work with them. The rest of the world however, won’t give people like him that much of a pass, and they call him out for what he is. That brings us to the other thing: what he says is one thing, but when you see that the people he chooses to work with are a who’s who of suit-and-tie Nazis and the like, you learn quickly that it is ultimately not what he says, but rather what he does – or tries to do – that makes the difference.

A former Executive Director of William F. Buckley’s Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), Kevin DeAnna now runs an outfit called Youth for Western Civilization (YWC). The group’s mission statement says that they wish “to organize, educate, and train activists dedicated to the revival of Western Civilization.” Just so we are clear on what they mean by “Western Civilization”, DeAnna told Justin Elliot of Salon.com that to them, Western Civilization is “a cultural compound of Christian, classical and then the folk traditions of Europe.” In DeAnna’s interview and on the YWC website, the late political scientist Samuel Huntington and particularly his book Who Are We? The Challenges to America's National Identity is cited as the inspiration for the organization. The book has been denounced as racist and anti-Catholic particularly because Huntington calls for a re-affirmation of the country's Anglo-Protestant heritage, noting other cultures, particularly what he saw was the fast-rising Latino culture, being a threat to the stability of the United States that needs to be fought against. And to anyone who says that we are a nation of immigrants, i.e., people who came here from someplace else, DeAnna doesn’t want to be thrown into that lot. “America is not a nation of immigrants,” he once wrote. “America is a nation of pioneers and conquerers (sic), the product of a particular people and a particular culture.” And we have already established what was “particular” about those people and their culture, in Kev’s mind.

With this in mind, it is particularly telling, given how coy these clowns are, how upset they get when this question about the Western Civilization definition comes up. In their FAQ answer to this question, they write, “The fact that we even have to answer this question shows why our group is necessary. It would be amusing to ask the multicultural groups on campus to "define their culture" and see what they say.” We doubt “the multicultural groups on campus” would be upset over anyone asking, being that many of them answer without anyone needing to ask.

Youth for Western Civilization had its official launch at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in February 2009, but they had been around well before that. Their URL was reserved as far back as 2004, and a YouTube video of a 2007 Robert A. Taft Club event included a special thanks to the organization. In fact, they have provided founding documents on their website listing their founding date as Dec. 4, 2006. Listed as initial directors with DeAnna are his Leadership Institute colleagues Luke Pelican, who One People’s Project met at an event at the National Press Club on March 20, 2007 celebrating the late white supremacist Sam Francis, and Craig Burgers of Michigan State University (MSU). Both Pelican and Burgers were onetime chairs of the MSU chapter of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) an organization founded by William F. Buckley in the 1960s. This particular chapter has the dubious distinction of being listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and Burgers caught hell in 2005 for an online posting that reportedly defended then-Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's statement defending Mussolini and World War II era anti-Jewish laws.

DeAnna doesn’t really fool anyone, and he has had his teeth kicked in quite a few times. His misogyny provided him with his most brusing ass whippin’. While he was a student at William and Mary College, he along with his friend Marcus Epstein edited a student publication called The Remnant. Published since 1989, it was in 2005 that those two killed it. Pretty much the only thing one would find online about this publication is how in April and May of that year DeAnna as Remnant editor published a series of articles attacking a woman who in 2003 when she was 16-years-old, said she was raped by frat-boy Kenneth Ian Lang. Lang eventually accepted a plea, admitting to having had sex with an underage girl, and to have provided alcohol to a minor. To the Remnant, according to an editorial, that made Lang “the only real victim,” and the 16-year-old a ''wannabe victim,'' a ''con artist'' and “the girl who lied.” DeAnna decided to go a step or two further in an editorial by saying that from the start he thought that the girl’s story was “too theatrical” to be true, and said that it was obvious that “it would have been almost impossible for Kenneth Lang to put on a condom while simultaneously holding down a desperately struggling victim.” To make matters worse, this attack on the 16-year-old was a few months after they championed another frat boy accused of rape by attacking the rape victim, a woman’s rights activist. That attack included newspaper staff distributing flyers identifying the rape victim and accusing her of lying just like they did the 16-year-old, saying she “was trying to draw attention to an issue she thought was important," according to an editorial. All of this came to a head when the 16-year-old victim filed a lawsuit against the Remnant, DeAnna and Epstein in 2006, saying in the suit that they “knew that the statement was false, and that it would cause great harm to [the victim’s] reputation and to her emotional and mental well-being." They ended up settling out of court the following year.

2006 was the year that DeAnna, Epstein, Dick Spencer who would later put together the racist blog Alternative Right, and current editor of Pat Buchanan’s The American Conservative Daniel McCarthy started the Robert A. Taft Club. Epstein once referred to this group’s mission as bringing out-the-Beltway politics into the Beltway, but that meant some rather shady characters had access to the DC Beltway politics. Among the people that they held events for were American Renaissance’s Jared Taylor, National Review’s John Derbyshire, the fascist clowns of the Flemish separatist party Vlaams Belang and mainstreamers like Rep. Ron Paul, veteran conservative propagandist Richard Vigurie and Human Events editor Terry Jeffries, Novice conservative propagandist James O’Keefe actually attended and reportedly helped out at a Taft Club forum in 2006.

As noted earlier, Youth for Western Civilization started in 2006 as well, and at one time, Marcus Epstein was listed as its Vice-President. After it was revealed in 2009 that he had to plead guilty for a 2007 racial attack on a black woman in Washington, DC, however, all of a sudden he had nothing to do with the founding of the group. That stands to reason. It is important for YWC to maintain some sort of distance between those that become controversial in the mainstream (and just before DeAnna introduced Islamophobe Robert Spencer at a YWC-sponsored event at American University where he is currently a grad student, he made clear to note that Epstein was not one of the founders), but that doesn’t mean they stay away from the neo-Nazis and white supremacists if the controversy isn’t there. On the contrary, they are all about them, DeAnna making appearances on white nationalist podcasts and conferences that are either organized or attended by those DC “paleoconservatives” (the aforementioned suit-and-tie Nazis) that have mainstream conservative cred. In many respects, Youth for Western Civilization is a college campus version of the Robert A. Taft Club. That would fit right in with the mission of the Arlington, VA-based Leadership Institute, which works to build right-wing activists on college campuses. DeAnna and the other founders work at Leadership Institute, and YWC itself seems to be a project of the organization.

YWC’s main thing is to incorporate itself into a certain issue involving people of color and make their own personal little race war out of it, framing it as fighting multiculturalism. We have seen that with both the anti-immigration efforts against Hispanics and anti-Muslim attacks such as the controversy over the Park 51 Islamic Center in Lower Manhattan. DeAnna makes it clear in his writings and speeches that his attacks in particular on immigration (and even he often leaves out “illegal” as the neo-cons prefer to use) is in truth him using it as a tool to attack multiculturalism. “If you lose this issue nothing else matters, and I don’t think anyone really gets this,” he said in October 2010 at something called the Immigration Writers’ Workshop in Arlington, VA, which was sponsored by the Social Contract, a journal published by white nationalist John Tanton, the founder of the modern day anti-immigrant movement. “And as I said, even to make tactical progress on this issue, you have to engage the entire idea of multiculturalism on a college campus. And Youth for Western Civilization is dedicated to that goal and I think that’s why the left views us as such a threat, maybe their only threat on a college campus.”

As with anything, Youth for Western Civilization is only a threat as much as they are allowed to go on without opposition. Vigilance against groups like this is always important, especially before they actually become a threat. We can also throw in general principle as well, because the truth of the matter is no one who values the freedoms others fought and died for and enjoy will not ignore it when a Kevin DeAnna type comes to try and take them away.

And the biggest issue is that DeAnna does this with the blessings of the mainstream right, something that sets them apart from other white supremacist groups. A perfect example is how despite the fact that the Council of Conservative Citizens has been banned from the annual Conservative Political Action Conference CPAC over a decade ago, YWC not only held what they called its “inaugural banquet” there in 2009, but has maintained a presence at CPAC the following two years. That has meant an uptick in known white supremacists attending the conference – including many members of the banned Council of Conservative Citizens. The anti-racist blog Imagine 2050 noted that at the 2011 CPAC, a YWC-sponsored panel on immigration featured former Congresspersons Virgil Goode and Tom Tancredo (the YWC honorary chair who is always caught associating with the white supremacist crowd), as well as current Congressperson Lou Barletta, who as mayor of Hazelton, PA became a hero among the right with his draconian laws against immigrants, and one of the founders of the Minuteklan Project Jim Gilchrist.

But here’s where it gets a little curious. The group Imagine 2050 notes that in the audience were William Johnson, chairman of the white nationalist political party American Third Position (A3P), Jared Taylor, and YWC members who have attended Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC) conferences in the past. Also there was YWC member Tim Dionisopoulos, a member of the anti-immigrant group Rhode Islanders for Immigration Law Enforcement, who at an anti-immigrant event in Rhode Island where he quoted Sam Francis and recently has been hosting as a member of the Providence College Republicans dubious characters like James O’Keefe, the eugenics-promoting writer John Derbyshire and Dick Spencer, all past associates of either Youth for Western Civilization and/or the Robert A. Taft Club. A look at the video reveals that DeAnna’s old bud Marcus Epstein also attended.

Imagine 2050 also says that the Youth for Western Civilization’s booth at CPAC was distributing free copies of the Social Contract, while the booth right next to YWC’s was occupied by the anti-immigrant organization ProEnglish, founded by John Tanton, who still sits on the organization’s board of directors.

Now while YWC has been able to build among conservatives, going beyond those circles has been a bit of a task. As we said at the beginning no one else is willing to give this group the kind of passes their base will, and that brings us to the one real bit of media attention they have ever been able to get. In 2009, fresh from their official jump off at CPAC, YWC members at the University of North Carolina invited Tom Tancredo to speak there. That didn’t go over well with much of the student body and hundreds of students went to the event and not just disrupted the speech Tancredo was trying to give, but chased him off campus after things got so raucous that a window was shattered and police had to shut down the event.

Tancredo returned the following year, but during that year YWC on the campus went through Hell, losing one faculty advisor after another, and one of them had to resign after he responded to the anger generated towards him for taking up the position by writing, "I have a Colt 45 and I know how to use it. " And it should be noted that not all conservatives are blind to the problems YWC poses. Rep. Dick Armey, who heads up Freedom Works, which is known best for backing the teabaggers and their efforts, has boasted in the past about how he has been able to keep Tom Tancredo off the stage at some of the teabagger events. And DeAnna never misses an opportunity to cry about this on his podcasts and speaking engagements.

But this is pretty much how it goes for Kevin DeAnna and Youth for Western Civilization. His white supremacist supporters have expressed surprise that a group this blatant has managed to get this far, but this is indeed as far as YWC is going to get. DeAnna has a wife and kid these days, and we are guessing all this pays well for him at least. So he’s going to keep up with the lost cause. The rest of us will just keep making him lose it.

Once again we have a scumbag that tries to use Anarchism to advance his Fascism. It happens a lot, never works, but still we get these idiots who think that if they say they are Anarchists that makes it okay to be a Nazi. This happens often with the more Libertarian-minded fascists, the ones who pretend to make people find common ground in what we all have issues with, while ignoring our conflicts, which are always racism, sexism and/or anti-Semitism. The kicker: they like all the racism sexism and/or anti-Semitism, so in truth is they are trying to get the public to give them a pass on such things.

Now the Libertarians who do this are bad enough, but when you are someone that comes out of straight up Anarchist circles and think you can still be down with that while working and supporting Fascists, it's pretty much an insult to be surprised that people treat you like the Nazi you are. The blog Attack the System is all about this third positionist bullshit, and the fact that it is blocked by the Philiadelphia Library system is a good sign that it isn't fooling anyone.

Attack the System is run by Keith Preston, who also heads up some outfit called the American Revolutionary Vanguard, a group that Infoshop.org has listed among the many attempts "by neo-nazis to pass themselves and their ideas off as compatible with anarchism." On his Facebook page, he lists his political views as "Anarchist/Anarcho-Pluralist, Secessionist, Third-Positionist, Libertarian Socialist", so we know right away how much of a scumbag he is. But let's throw some more wood on this fire. According to the blog nostate.com, he likes to push "a sort of meta-strategy for anarchism which aims at pluralism and ecumenicalism and which suggests that all anti-state tendencies ought to unite against the principal enemy of liberty, the state itself, in preference to choosing lesser targets of activist action such as sexism, racism, homophobia and so on." In other words, we should focus on the problems with the state and not be distracted by what even we would considet the byproduct of those problems.

On the face, that would be a great strategy. Even the guy from nostate.com says that. But he also notes something else. Were we to ignore those "lesser targets" or sexism racism and homophobia, we will ignore the fact that Preston is a sexist, racist homophobe and that it is a part of his political agenda! The nostate author notes that in one of his columns, Preston says the following:

"Do we really attract more people into our ranks by having so many self-hating whites, bearded ladies, cock-ringed queers, or persons of one or another surgically altered "gender identity" in our midst? Is this really something the average rebellious young person wants to be associated with? Could we not actually attract more young rebels into our ranks if all of this stuff was absent? I believe we could."

Reading that column gives us a nice snapshot of Keith Preston and it is enough to put this guy in the crackpot category. He says he started off working with progressive groups (we will get to that in a minute), but eventually broke away from those circles after realizing they were about these weird notions like social justice and stuff. After joining the Libertarian Party in the early 1990s, he eventually started reading more right-wing fare, particularly books by black conservatives like Thomas Sowell and Walter E. Williams, the go-to apologists for everything white and racist (Williams has even given props to American Renaissance's Jared Taylor on the jacket of his book Paved With Good Intentions). Preston was pretty much on the fast track to stupid at this point, and started to write essays and op-ed pieces that were geared towards that lunatic fringe right, but with this weird, convoluted attempt to draw anarchism in as well. Never mind the fact that he was attacking anarchists in these writings, such as when he goes after Noam Chomsky for being critical (to underscore a fact) of Ron Paul. The pieces are also always long and drawn out as it if Preston is trying to over compensate for the fact that is ideas are crap.

He still tries to play like he's an anarchist, but the fact that he touts himself as some sort of big player in anarchist circles due to his supposed history in those circles prompts us to clarify a few things. According to Keith, he was a member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), served on the national board of the Workers Solidarity Alliance (WSA), and participated in the Love and Rage Network in the late 1980s. "I could probably write a book on my misadventures with the anarcho-leftoids," he wrote. I was at the 1989 Chicago conference where "Love and Rage", initially a tabloid that eventually became the basis for a federation, was launched. Those people were idiots. Mostly, they were a mixture of ex-Trots and molotov types."

We were able to contact some Love and Rage members to help us get an understanding of this, and let's just say there were no fond memories of this guy. "Keith Preston was never a member of Love and Rage," one wrote. "He was a member of the Workers Solidarity Alliance and attended the founding conference of Love and Rage in Chicago in November 1989 where he aligned himself with a couple members of group called Some Chicago Anarchists who were openly hostile to the project and basically came to bait the members of the RSL (the Revolutionary Socialist League, who were defunct at this time, it's ex-members being one of the driving forces behind Love and Rage)."

The Love and Rage contact went on to say that there was a concern about alienating Preston because unlike Some Chicago Anarchists, they did not know him and he was the only person to come from outside of Chicago who wasn't all that fond of the project everyone had embarked on. Not only that, they didn't want to have an antagonistic relationship with the WSA. Preston did indeed use the WSA newspaper Ideas and Action to publish an attack on Love and Rage, and when the Love and Rage folks read it, they knew then that they were spot-on about this guy.

"The only thing I remember of the piece was that it took great exception to the reference in the L&R Political Statement of 'the special oppression of Black people' which Preston suggested was no more special than the oppression of left-handed people. With that comment we all felt that we were well rid of him. While I never heard any suggestion that he was a Nazi, the guy clearly had issues with our emphasis on anti-racism. I don't know how long after that he remained in the WSA."

For the record, the Workers Solidarity Alliance is a solid group, and while the people we contacted there remembered his membership, he was not anyone who created such a splash that they would remember when or how he left. According to the WSA source, he might have just dropped out and it is possible that he was indeed rethinking his politics. But was it a rethinking of politics or associations? In regards to the issues with anti-racism, Keith has explained his aversion to dealing with racial oppression in the past by writing, "I never shared the rather dogmatic views that most of these people have on race, gender, sexuality and ecology, which seemed to me to be hysterical and one-sided."

Okay fine, but what he ends up doing is hooking up with those who push dogmatic views against other races, genders and sexuality! And yes, he has a long, drawn out piece on his blog trying to explain it, when in truth "I'm a racist, sexist, homophobic, separatist dirtbag" would have sufficed. In his piece "Why I Choose to Collaborate with Racialists and Theocrats", he tries to make the argument for racial and religious separation saying that while the Jim Crow era is done and will never come back, that doesn't mean there can't be an effort made to separate the races, something he feels must be done since white nationalists and Christian theocrats feel soooo oppressed. "The idea that the relatively peaceful, relatively voluntary, decentralized separatism...is totalitarian or fascistic while the present system of authoritarian multiculturalism, coercive integrationism and state-managed 'equality', with the state peering into every corner of society to make that no one is ever discriminated against, is somehow libertarian or democratic is absurd," he wrote, not realizing how absurd he sounds.

In addition to his work on Attack the System, Preston is a contributing editor for Dick Spencer's blog Alternative Right. He is also slated to speak at two conferences Spencer is associated with. One is on Sept. 10 in Washington, DC for the National Policy Institute, an organization that is listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group of which Spencer is executive director. The other is Nov. 4-5 in the Baltimore area for the H.L. Mencken Club, which Spencer co-founded. Rolling with Spencer, and the DC paleoconservative crowd pretty much means, in the interest of full disclosure, that he has a particular bone to pick with One People's Project, particularly because of our part in causing hotels and other venues to shut their doors to the American Renaissance Conference two years in a row, as evidenced by a post on his blog:

(I)f they continue to get away with this kind of stuff, they will likely use similar tactics against other ideological opponents. For instance, the One Peoples Project was apparently one of the main groups behind this incident. On their "Rogues’ Gallery" page they list a lot of people who cannot in any way be considered white nationalists or racialists including paleocon John Derbyshire (whom, I believe, is married to an Asian woman), black conservative Jesse Peterson, Michelle Malkin (a Filipino with admittedly disgusting political views), Marc Epstein (who is half-Korean/half-Jewish), Charlton Heston and Jerry Falwell (both deceased, and neither with any remote connection to Neo-Nazis).

In other words, to be a "rogue" and be on these peoples’ hit list, one only has to be a non-leftoid.

See that? He made an important point for us and didn't even know it. Consider this: He mentioned a number of people who, as he correctly points out, have certain traits that would say that would normally not endear them to the white power scene, but despite a rather bold mischaracterization on Keith's part, managed to do so regardless. Now take a look at Mr. Keith Preston, someone who calls himself an anarchist but feels more comfortable around Nazis than he would someone who wants to fight for social justice for all. Wolves in sheep's clothing are nothing new, but as Keith himself points out in his posting, it is apparent that right-wing racists are relying on those kinds of wolves to maintain themselves in a ever-growing diverse society. Keith is one of those wolves, and despite what he says, it's more than being a non-leftoid that gets you in the Gallery. Being a shady asshole that pushes to undercut everyone else's rights and freedoms is pretty much key.

For as long as he has been around, there surpringly isn't much to say about Arthur J. Jones. He has spent the past thirty years being the butt of every anti-Nazi joke in the Chicago area, and given how much grief antifa have given him in recent years he seems to enjoy it. He is kind of having a few last hurrahs before he has to go away for good, but as he is indeed still around, let's explore this weasel.

Born in 1948, Jones like to pound his chest about being a Vietnam Veteran, thinking that gives him a pass when he advocates undermining the freedoms that he had supposedly fought for, but we sure would have loved to have been there if any of his World War II-era superiors ever found out that he even took a copy of Mein Kampf with him to study while in Vietnam, and was all about Nazism from since he was a kid. We do know his father, Art Jones, Sr. was none too happy about it. Confronting his son when the younger Art was a member of George Lincoln Rockwell's group the National Socialist White People's Party, the elder Art walked away in tears when his son threatened him. "It ain't worth a damn," he said in an interview years ago. "I fought those goose-stepping rascals during World War II. Everybody can have their beliefs, but I don't believe like he does."
Art's main thing is to bitch about Blacks, Jews and especially homosexuals, protesting various gay pride events and marches over the years. But overall, it's the same goal. "Our aim is to establish a white-run world, he once said in an interview. "The world would be better off with the white man in charge of everything. There'd be light where there is now darkness, knowledge where there is ignorance, law where there is anarchy, food where there is famine."
Although he has bounced around from one group to another, his main thing for the past three decades or so has been his America First Committee. Now this is not the group that railed against the U.S. getting into World War II. Jones and Richard Wendorf from the National Socialists, the group best known for their attempted march in Skokie, IL in 1978, formed this America First Committee on June 8, 1980 after the NSWPP fell apart over a disagreement over party policy on Iran and the Ayatollah Khomeini, and after Jones soured on the National Socialists. It was in this capacity that people would see Jones doing the talk show circuit in the late 80s - early 90s during that phenomina that had every daytime talk show on at the time looking to be the next Geraldo by booking white supremacists. In fact, at one time Jones was a sort of "unofficial advisor" to the Jerry Springer Show by suggesting panelists who could make sparks fly. Jones himself did get his ass kicked on one of those Springer programs in May 1993 when former Milwaukee Alderman Michael McGee, Sr. - himself a complete piece of shit as one of the original members of the New Black Panther Party who also once declared that if race relations didn't improve by 1995, he would endorse "urban gurellia warfare" from blacks - joined him on a panel along with Tom and John Metzger of White Aryan Resistance. When, during a discussion on crime and supposed racial trends, an audience member asked Jones how he could explain a Jeffrey Dahmer, the white cannibal serial killer from Milwaukee. "For every Jeffrey Dahmer we produce, you produce 10,000 rapists, murderers, robbers, thugs, dope addicts, pimps, and whores," Jones replied. "Now that's a fact. Those are the crime statistics of the FBI."

That pissed McGee off, him responding. "I do not take insults, and so if you sit here and continue to insult and you use that word about whores, we'll start a war right now." Jones continued on with his bullshit, and eventually McGee got out of his seat and knocked Jones out of his. Being that this was the early years of the Springer show, this was one of those fights that didn't get aired, and when taping resumed, Jones shook McGee's hand as a gesture of peace. But things soured real fast after McGee wasn't charged with assaulting him, and Jones sued McGee, Springer, the executive producer and the syndication company for $2 million in damages. It was around this time you started seeing Jones less and less in the national spotlight.

Jones is best known as the Nazi who name keeps showing up on election ballots every now and again. He has been running for one thing or another since 1976, more often than not for Congress in the 3rd Congressional District in Illinois. But his insurance salesman's salary doesn't exactly cover election costs, plus he's an asshole, so he never wins.

Truth be told, Jones is a washed-up Nazi still trying to milk it for all its worth. Even the groups he associates with is a sign of his diminishing goals. For one thing, he found himself hitching his wagon to Bill White's American National Socialist Workers Party, which quickly became the path to ruin for a number of people. And while he still maintains the America First Committe, now there is another banner he flies that is more localized - "Illinois United". This group has held a few Hitler Birthday Celebrations, but in 2011, it had to be canceled after unknown antifa set off smoke bombs and sabotaged toilets at the PJ Klems in Lyons, IL where the "birthday party" was to take place. Jones is getting along in years and as he fades more and more away, he has to do so knowing that nothing he ever did went right, and increasingly sent him further into the crapper.

In recent months, those who call themselves Tea Party activists have been trying to suggest that they only march and rally because of economic and fiscal concerns, never social and cultural issues. Someone forgot to tell teabagger Jeff McGeary that, given his remarks during the April 6, 2011 meeting of his Thomas Jefferson Club in Bucks County, PA:

"Stand up for your rights, your beliefs, your culture, your heritage, and your identity. What binds us together in this room and this republic guys, is worth fighting for, more than any taxes, more than any other issue, is this issue of our culture and our values and our Western way of life. And the last thing that I heard from both speakers was the word 'love'. To love your people, to love your heritage, love our national family, our culture, our value, our republic. And guys, stand up for it. It's worth fighting for. Your work, your employment, about your daily task, stand up, stand up proudly and don't apologize guys."

And if those same teabaggers are miffed that people keep pointing out the racist elements in the Tea Party scene, well Jeff McGeary isn't helping. See, the two speakers that he was referring to were noted white nationalists Peter Brimelow of the hate site VDARE, and former Jesse Helms aide Louis March, a past speaker at American Renaissance and Council of Conservative Citizens conferences who touted as successes overseas what hate groups like the British National Party and France's National Front were doing in their countries. McGeary is one of those teabaggers that have been playing it coy for a few years now, but when this meeting took place it pretty much put a spotlight on what he and his Thomas Jefferson Club is really about.

We should point something out here, because it comes up a lot. When conservatives venture into the more racist fare the code words start flying so they can say things that would otherwise get them skewered by the general public. The talk about Western civilization or Western culture will be one of those examples particularly because they never really explain what that means. Curiously, they are not refuting the contention that when they say "Western civilization" they mean White people. So when it comes up you know you may be dealing with that very special kind of conservative: the White supremacist - whether or not they say so. At the very least, until these conservatives stop getting mad when people ask them what they mean (and most importantly if they include people of color in their definition of Western culture) you should smell a rat when you hear that term.

The whole thing about defending "Western (read: white) Civilization" is Jeff McGeary's main focus. He has spoken at several teabagger events over the past few years, at each stop pushing for the defense of "Western (read: white) Civilization", often railing against diversity, and using the issue of illegal immigration as a jump-off to do so. The Thomas Jefferson Club blog features articles that are your standard conservative fare, along with those that decry the rise in nonwhite populations in places like Britain, declarations that "Multiculturalism has failed" by regular blog contributor David J. Hentosh, attacks on the Southern Poverty Law Center as "the shame of America" and another rather stupid article by the aforementioned Hentosh where he takes anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan to task for saying the United States government faked Osama bin Laden's death with this suggestion: "Isn’t it time to 'out' Cindy as a racist for not believing Obama? There seems to be no other valid reason according to the far left – or even the near left. Racism is the only reason."

The irony of this is the fact that one look at the Thomas Jefferson Club's blogroll would suggest that Hentosh is projecting a bit there. Among the more tepid conservative links are those for VDARE, the white supremacist National Policy Institute headed up by Dick Spencer and and Western Voices World News, a white supremacist news site run by something called European Americans United, whose members push for a white nationalist government,note in their Consitiution that group membership is restricted to those "with no physically discernible admixture of non-European ancestry", features on their website interviews with white supremacists like Tom Sunic and was registered with the same email address as the Sacremento chapter of the neo-Nazi National Vanguard. With these kinds of associations, it's not like McGeary doesn't try to hide anything. It's simply the fact that no one noticed until now.

A resident of Newtown, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia, McGeary went to Valley Forge Military College, where he founded that school's chapter of College Republicans, West Chester University of Pennsylvania, where again he was involved in the College Republicans, and LaSalle University where he received his MBA. He currently works as an Executive Sales Representative at Sanofi-Aventis, the Paris-based pharmaceutical company in their Malvern, PA research and development offices, and is a Captain in the Army Reserves, with him listing his headquarters on Linkedin as the United States European Command, Plans and Operations Center in Stuttgart, Germany.

McGeary started the Thomas Jefferson Club in 2008, a month after Barack Obama was elected President and just in time to incorporate it into all the teabagger nonsense a few months later. At this point, he had made himself a name as a member of not only Pennsylvanians for Immigration Control (PIC), but also Ron Bass' New Jersey-based United Patriots in America (UPA). UPA has tried to hide its racist leaning in the past but once Bass opined that "The perverted Civil Rights ideology has infected our entire American civilization" and that "It's time for White America to stop being cowards", not to mention the more crackpot things like how Michelle Obama black and red 2008 Election Day dress Michelle Obama's black and red Election Night dress was "subversive" ("Black and red are the traditional colors of African Anarchism"), and that people of color taking power is a problem ("If your upset that the Open Border Blacks and Latino Civil Rights movement groups could move into the White House this January you all have only yourself to blame."), it was a little hard to do after that. In 2009, McGeary was listed as a speaker for a May 2009 anti-immigration rally in Shenadoah, PA, where five white teens beat and killed a Hispanic man (this crowd supported the teens). He was listed as a member of both PIC and UPA. 

Jeff McGeary, third from left, poses with a group on the National Mall in Washington, DC that includes Vlaams Belang member Filip DeWinter standing next to him second from right. And oh yes, we want to know who the others are!

But there are other groups that McGeary connects himself with. One of them is Vlaams Belang, the Flemish nationalist and secessionist political party which was outlawed in 2004 under its previous incarnation, Vlaams Blok as a "criminal organization" due to its racist, anti-immigrant views. One of VB's top members, Flemish Parliment member Filip DeWinter has been running with neo-Nazis for over twenty years, declaring in 1991 that "Vlaams Blok chooses a white Europe!"  and even attempting in 1988 to hold a small rally paying tribute to 38 Flemish SS collaborators who fought for Nazi Germany at their graves before German police stopped him and his crew saying only German citizens were allowed to enter the cemetary. McGeary loves this clown and has met with him several times. One picture of him with DeWinter and others on the National Mall in Washington, DC was posted on McGeary's Facebook page on Feb. 8, 2011. That would be three days after DeWinter gave a speech on behalf of the scuttled American Renaissance Conference in Charlotte, NC and one day before the Conservative Political Action Conference started.

And that was where the white nationalist student organization Youth for Western (read: white) Civilization (YWC), who also just loves Vlaams Belang and Filip DeWinter, held a workshop where several white supremacists were seen in the audience. YWC is another group that McGeary is close to. YWC head Kevin DeAnna gave a presentation at a Thomas Jefferson Club meeting in November 2009, and in YWC's first conference held in June, McGeary returned the favor by speaking there, as a Facebook post of his noted at the time.

While we are at it we should say that he also loves the aforementioned French fascists of the National Front. National Front founder and leader Jean Marie Le Pen retired in 2010 and turned over control of the group to his daughter Marine Le Pen, and McGeary is all about her and her party, and in his warped sense of reality thinks that Marine is going to win the French Presidential Election next year.

McGeary also staged a run for Congress in 2010 to take Pennsylvania's 8th District seat from Rep. Pat Murphy. Murphy did indeed lose that seat, but McGeary wasn't the Republican who did it. Mike Fitzpatrick was. McGeary didn't even place in the primary, despite some minor support by some of the anti-immigration folks out there. When that failed, he just stuck with the Thomas Jefferson Club and the teabagger scene, and cultivating his place among the racist right. Peter Brimelow for one was happy with what he saw when he spoke there in April, writing in an article about that day, "I was very impressed by the audience in Newtown, which included many VDARE.com fans."

We should stress that we have found several groups that call themselves the "Thomas Jefferson Club" the one that we have focused on here you will find noted as based in either Newtown, PA or the "Greater Philadelphia Area". At the time of this writing, Jeff McGeary hasn't had a lot of traction beyond the local teabagger set and his own blog. It is not as if the local media is seeking him out or anything. But you know us, we don't like any of these clowns going under the radar, especially this crew of Pennsylvania racists that have been hiding behind tea parties and anti-immigration campaigns to promote that paleoconservative racism we have seen pushing itself into the mainstream over the past few years. If Jeff McGeary is around, know that he is a liability if you ever want to be taken seriously.

These days, you can't really get too shocked at the things that radio talk-shit hosts say. You know their crap is coming, and sadly you know that not too many people in the media and political industry will say too much about it, coming up with so many reasons to justify their cowardice, from "They have freedom of speech" to "We shouldn't give them the attention" to "what about (insert name of someone they don't like) who does the same thing?" It doesn't help much when these same characters appear on the television or radio programs of the aforementioned cowards, lending credibility to them, or legitimize their BS by slinging their talking points at presidential candidates during debates (yeah, Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, we're talking about you). Ironically, those talking points have in essence made them the talk-shit host's surrogate holding the line against those of color or on the left that they say are offensive or divisive. The damage these kinds of politics have done over the past eight years let alone the past twenty is probably why in recent years we have had a number of groups and individuals either on television or on the web, saying we will start calling out these scumbags a little more forcefully.

Let's be real. The talk-shit hosts in this country have spearheaded campaigns that a sane society would have never move beyond the dreaming stage (the Minuteklan Project, Terry Schivao, Ron Paul's campaign, et al). And if someone was to look at a disaster such as a hurricane, see the deaths of so many people and say in regards to them, "It was just a glorified episode of putting out the garbage," that person would never be given any credence again. If he also defended white high school students that wanted a segregated prom (even calling Bill O'Reilly of all people a "vicious son of a bitch" for being critical of those students - earning a whole lot of props from white supremacists over at Stormfront), says Muslims are "sort of like cockroaches" because during Ramadan the eat during the day and fast at night, refers to black Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney as a "ghetto whore" and says that he would make a lousy Mexican because he can't operate a floor buffer, you might not have ever heard of him because no radio station would want to risk losing sponsors by the truckload.

We are not a sane society, however, and that is why Neal Boortz can be heard all over the friggin' country with 3.75 million listeners.

So since we are at this stalemate between those who actually do things and the talk-shit hosts who complain about it all the time, perhaps one of the things we should be asking about. After all, they place themselves above everyone they criticize, so they must be on their game. If you think so, in the case of Neal Boortz, the answer to that question might annoy the living hell out of you. If you are one of those jaded people who believe everything talk-shit hosts tell you, we just might hurt your feelings because Boortz is about as honest as he is courageous. Yeah, we are questioning his courage too. Oh, he's also very, very stupid.

Neal Adolph Boortz, Jr. was born in Bryn Mawr, PA on April 6, 1945. Apparently he isn't all that forthcoming about his middle name. In fact, he has been critical of those who have tried to invoke Sen. Barack Obama's middle name "Hussein" as a pejorative saying the following to a caller to his radio show one day:
"You know, people try to do that to me. You see, my birth certificate reads 'Neal A. Boortz' because at the hospital they failed to put down the middle name my parents gave me which is 'August,' and my name is 'Neal August Boortz.' Some people on the Web have claimed that my name is 'Neal Adolph Boortz' to try to imply that I'm…a 'NaaAAAAaaa-zi!'…Yeah, I've read those things, they're written by people using their mommy's computer."

Well, mommy's computer must have done some good because it was used to contact the Selective Service who provided us with a record of his enlistment which included his middle name: "Adolph". That, by the way is the middle name also found in his student records at Texas A&M University. Now we can understand why he would distance himself from this, because despite being critical of the "Barack Hussein Obama" tactic, he has employed it himself! We even found an example of it in an article on his website! One would think that someone whose middle name was the same first name as the dictator his Marine pilot father was fighting the time he was born would think twice before joining the chorus of conservatives who like to play this game, especially considering just like Obama, he is also just someone named after his father. But whatever, man.

Anyway, like we said, Neal Adolph Boortz, Sr. was a Marine pilot, and about a month after Neal Adolph, Jr. was born they moved to Texas. Being a military brat, they moved around a lot, but Neal Adolph, Jr. saw Texas as his "official" home. Graduating from Pensacola (Florida) high school in 1963, he went on to attend Texas A&M University from July 16, 1963 to January 28, 1965, and again from June 8, 1965 to June 3, 1967. And when we get specific about dates like that, you know something is up.

A few things are. For one, in a number of bios he is listed as graduating from Texas A&M in 1967. School records show he never received a degree from the University. When confronted with that bit of information, he reportedly said he was "not responsible for what other people have written about me". Those people would not be responsible however, for him purchasing a class ring from the University, which he is seen wearing in a photograph of him with his old boss Former Georgia Gov. Les...wait. We will get to that later.

Now the other reason we noted those dates is why his Selective Service record was asked for in the first place. From June 30, 1964 to February 13, 1968 he was classified as 1D - Member of a Reserve component or student taking military training. Neal was enrolled in Air Science classes for students in an Air Force unit of the Corps of Cadets during the Fall of 1963, Spring of 1964 and Fall of 1964. These classes were general military science classes, but not professional officer development, so they might not have qualified for deferment of military service. Even if they did, Boortz was out of the ROTC as of the Fall of 1964. In fact, he was out of the school altogether in January '65 and should have notified the Selective Service that he was eligible for service. He didn't. That's a problem. 1965-67 was the height of the Vietnam War drafts. 840,000 men were drafted, including boxer Muhammad Ali, who refused to go because of his religious beliefs and was stripped of his Heavyweight title and not allowed to box for three years because of it. In the town of Pensacola, Florida where Boortz registered for the draft, 74 men on the rolls at the same time were killed in Vietnam. Ignoring the fact that these men died in a war he scammed his way out of, Boortz will later have the audacity to defame 2004 presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry's service in that war, describing his Purple Hearts as "flesh wounds". Boortz, who also wrote in a mock-commencement speech on his website, that "Free speech is meant to protect unpopular speech", will also applaud the FBI for investigating and hounding anti-war demonstrators for no other reason other than the fact that he believes they are "pro-Sadaam and anti-US", not to mention "largely anti-American communists and Islamic radicals."

When one asks Boortz about his own service, he will tell you that he was registered 4F - too sickly to serve. According to writer and Boortz thorn-in-the-side John Sugg, Boortz has claimed his eyesight and on one occasion asthma was the reason why he was rejected. Selective Service records show he never received a 4F deferment. Remember that the next time you hear him blasting real Vietnam vets, not to mention those who are against this latest war we should not have been in.

So to sum up, we have established Boortz to have started out as a draft-dodging liar, but how about the man who wrote the words for one of America's most notorious segregationalist? That would be Georgia Governor Lester Maddox, although he doesn't like to talk much about it. We love how he says that prior to 1977 when he graduated from law school that he held a number of jobs, including "writing speeches for the Governor of Georgia." He says that he "finished" at Texas A&M in 1967, and in those ten years there were only three governors, Maddox, Jimmy Carter and George Busbee. Then again there probably wasn't much to talk about since he was just a flunky in the speechwriter role.

Since starting in Atlanta radio in 1974, Boortz has claimed to be a Libertarian. Call yourself that, and it should open you up to mad scrutiny. See, Libertarians in many respects are anarchists, but it is a matter of how they roll in that capacity that makes the difference. If you are a Libertarian it is a matter of being either a pothead - which means your politics are going to lean left - or a fascist - which means you're leaning right. Thing is, however, the other reason why you should be scrutinized if you call yourself a Libertarian is because if you are indeed a fascist, you might be doing that to justify some really foul politics. You will either defend them in the name of "preserving freedom", and/or you will maintain some left-leaning political principles to get over.

Boortz for example, supports the decriminalization of drugs, once saying "If you support the war on drugs in its present form, then you're only paying lip-service to the defense of freedom, and you don't really grasp the concept of the sovereign individual human being." That "sovereign individual human being" gets short shrift when that person is Back or Arabic, because Boortz supports racial profiling. "The reason we are not profiling is the squawking objections of groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the AlQaeda Civil Liberties Union, who call this practice unfair, discriminatory and racist," he wrote in August 2006, further commenting that "there is nothing wrong with being discriminatory. Each and every one of discriminates. That is the process used in making decisions."

That hypocrisy is bad enough, but let's really play with this one. If Boortz feels that certain races or people of ethnic groups warrant special inconviences because of certain dire situations, then that means he would agree with something that assists people of certain disadvantaged races or ethnic groups such as affirmative action, right? Well, in a column published just after Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 2003, Boortz wrote this: "It's time to get back to some basic constitutional principles. Punish discrimination where it is found, and judge people as you find them - by their character, their achievement and their willingness to work hard and persevere, not their skin color. After all, didn't we just celebrate the birthday of a great man who preached just that?"

So Boortz believes that nothing is wrong with discrimination, but we should punish it where it is found, and judge people by their character unless it is a matter of law enforcement. Hey, if you are going to look at Boortz's racial politics, expect this kind of tap dance. On his website it was asked of Boortz if he was a racist, and his answer was, "People often get racism mixed up with bigotry or prejudice. We need to get our terminology straightened out. We obviously have racial problems that need solving. The first step in solving a problem is to identify it. If we keep miss-identifying bigotry and prejudice as racism we'll never make any headway. By the way, I do freely admit to being a "culturalist." This, of course, drives the multicultural crowd absolutely nuts."

He pretty much freely admitted to being a bigot too, and in regards to the "culturalist" term, as the website BoortzisWrong.com notes, "Of course the culture that he believes to be inferior is overwhelmingly black." Making up words does not make you into something different, Neal. It just makes you what you are with a different name.
Boortz is there for his fellow radio bigots too. His BFF is Sean Hannity, who has his own race-baiting history, not to mention a one time friendship with white supremacist Hal Turner, and he was one of the radio hosts who proclaimed they will not attend a function hosted by trade magazine Radio and Records when they rescinded a lifetime achievement award to Bob Grant, after complaints about his racism and promotion of racist activities started to come in. Boortz's reasoning: "What we have seen here in this revocation of the award to Bob Grant is simple pandering to political correctness. Nothing more, nothing less." Gee, we would think considering how Boortz thought Martin Luther King, Jr. was a "great man", he would understand how people would not want to praise a guy who referred to King as a "scumbag".

So here we have Neal Adolph Boortz, a flunky throughout his young life who got over by pretending he is something he is not while attacking those who make an honest life for themselves. Truth be told, that makes up most of talk radio, and like we said at the beginning given their inane routines, you can't really get too worked up about what they say. Still, Boortz is one chock full of reasons why you don't just let it go without saying something.

Keith Carney is a broken bonehead. Where once he was able to do Nazi salutes and march with his fellow boneheads of Keystone State “Skinheads” (KSS) with pride, nowadays he has just let himself go. He has gotten fatter, grew his hair and beard out and toils away on a metal blog trying to do music promotion of metal bands in town. He otherwise stays away from public life these days, but he still has his old beliefs it seems. Not to mention his old associations. One of the things about Carney everyone knew is that he would never go anywhere by himself. He always had people around him, especially when he would go to shows around town. They would normally be some young boys that looked to him like some sort of Nazi Fagin-type, and one of them has decided to step up since Keith has started to withdraw. For years he has been calling himself “Felix Bauriedl”, but that was always known to be a fake name. In fact, at the 2011 Leif Ericson rally in Philadelphia, an annual event that KSS holds near a statue of the Viking Explorer Thorafinn Karsefni near what is called “Boathouse Row” along the Schuylkill River, he boasted that no one will ever find out who he was. Now everyone will, and if it is true that Keith Carney is trying to get him into the Carpenters’ Union, all the more reason to put him on blast.

“Felix Bauriedl” is actually a scrawny little punkass from Sicklerville, NJ named Anthony James (A.J.) Olsen. He was first seen trying to start a crew called South Jersey “Skins”, and now we see him organizing events for KSS in Philadelphia. He also likes to boast that he knows who is antifa out there and what they are doing – kind of like a bonehead version of us. On Stormfront there is a guy who calls himself SJSkin, who claims to be from Sicklerville that is the biggest cheerleader for events sponsored by KSS on that website. “SJSkin” also likes to announce whenever OPP, Anti-Racist Action (ARA) or in one case even Al Sharpton’s National Action Network (NAN) is going to hold or appear at a certain event, complete with whatever details he can find. That’s a bit too much of a coincidence for us to ignore. Earlier this year he reportedly moved to the Kensington area of Philadelphia with his girlfriend Brianna, so that screen name isn’t too current these days.

That would explain why KSS has been a little busy over the past year. For much of the latter half of the past decade, KSS was working towards being the big Nazi group on the scene. A.J. has been to most if not all of the events involving KSS that we have covered. The 2009 Leif Ericson Day rally was the last time KSS did anything publicly until Sept. 17, 2011 which was the day of a white power concert in Philadelphia. Then came this year’s Leif Ericson Day rally, which, just like in 2009 was opposed by a group of antifa, this time a larger, more organized crew. There was indeed a Leif Ericson Day rally in 2010 – held two weeks after the actual Leif Ericson Day and when a video produced by antifa mocked them for being a no-show. That wasn’t sponsored by KSS however. That year’s rally was organized by the white supremacist political party American Third Position (A3P), which seemed to be one of the groups that KSS started to join enmasse over the course of that year (KSS founding member Steve Smith is the Pennsylvania Chairman of A3P). A.J. was the point person for the 2010 Leif Ericson Day rally.

With A.J. moving into Philly proper, that would explain why KSS’ name is being heard again, but it is nowhere near the unit that it used to be. A.J. seems to be doing things these days as something to prove. And in some respects, maybe Keith Carney does too. According to sources, A.J. is trying to get into the Carpenters’ Union through Carney, who works at the shipyard in Philly. That might be a problem considering the union might not be too warm towards a neo-Nazi in their ranks, especially since they fight against discrimination all the time. That might have to be something A.J. will have to learn the hard way. Actually, there’s a lot of hard ways ahead of this character if he wants to roll the way he does.

The suit-and-tie Nazis known as paleoconservatives love to be in with the politicians, but more than that they are very fond of people in the academic profession that can lend some credence to their hate propaganda. The problem is these same academics in the name of furthering that propaganda may be putting themselves in the realm of academic fraud as they do, and very seldom do they ever get called on it. We just might have to take a few shots in that regard in the direction of Kevin MacDonald, a psychology professor at California State University, Long Beach, board member of the white supremacist Charles Martel Society, and co-founder of the White supremacist political party American Third Position (A3P). When you deal with anti-Semitic propaganda in particular, you are dealing with seriously thick nonsense that can be shut down quickly and completely. When you do it hiding behind your credentials as a professor, it should cause people to wonder why a university would want to be associated with you, and especially why you haven’t been called to task over it all. We are among those people.

Let us start from the beginning. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, MacDonald was born to a Roman Catholic family, but abandoned his Catholicism when he became one of those flower power hippie types of the sixties who protested the Vietnam War. It was around this time when he also started on his anti-Semitic road when according to him he started to “notice” East Coast Jewish influences in these circles. This morphed into feeling that the Jews among him was using Gentiles as tokens for their nefarious leftist needs or whatever and by the eighties, long after he broke from leftist politics, he blossomed into a full-on paranoid anti-Semitic propagandist. It was also pretty convenient that he was a college professor by this time, because now he can pretend that propaganda is mere scholarly work. He started with his 1994 publication A People that Shall Dwell Alone: Judaism as a Group Evolutionary Strategy, which he followed up with two other books, Separation and its Discontents: Toward an Evolutionary Theory of Anti-Semitism (1998), and The Culture of Critique: An Evolutionary Analysis of Jewish Involvement in Twentieth-Century Intellectual and Political Movements (1998).

The obsession people like Kevin MacDonald has with blaming Jews for everything wrong – or what they feel is wrong – with society is pathological to the point of being a caricature. You can see how much of one that is in the 2005 documentary on the anti-immigration Minuteman Project titled Line in the Sand produced by the late white supremacist filmmaker Bryan Jost who died of a heroin overdose in 2010. In it, MacDonald tries to make the case that today’s immigration policy is due to the machinations of Jews who he says wanted to upset the ethnic balance in the country when they started to come here from Eastern Europe with their poverty and radical politics. “Beginning actually early in the 20^th Century, there were attempts at even in the 1890s to shut down immigration,” he said. “Jewish activist organizations were at the forefront of keeping it open, and of course their main interest in those years was to get more Jews over here from Eastern Europe.”

The truth is you can go back a little farther than the 1890s, because the Native American Party, a/k/a the “Know-Nothings” 1843. And Jews were not the issue. The Know-Nothings had beef with Germans and especially Irish Catholics, whom they believed were controlled by the Pope. We suppose that although your surname is the Scottish “MacDonald” you grew up in a Roman Catholic family, and not only does that work well in your propaganda, you also most certainly do not want to mention that to your target audience.

As we noted however, the bigger problem with MacDonald is how he has weaved what would otherwise be considered anti-Semitic propaganda into what he purports to be a legitimate and academic search for truth. Worse, a number of people have stepped forward to charge MacDonald with misrepresenting the sources he uses to draw the conclusions he has come to in his writings. The authors of those sources are among those that are the most vocal.

Dr. Barry Mehler is a Fenris State University history professor who as founder of the Institute for the Study of Academic Racism (ISAR) has made a habit out of successfully discrediting racists and bigots using academia as one of their tools.  In 1998, MacDonald ended up on his radar when he authored a paper titled Jewish involvement in influencing United States immigration policy, 1881-1965: A historical review.  Just as he did in Line in the Sand, MacDonald maintained his belief that Jews have an interest in opposing ethnically homogeneous societies where they are minorities. Mehler made an example out of this paper by taking particular issue with how MacDonald used his sources . Case in point:  a quote from a 1969 dissertation by Sheldon Morris Neuringer titled American Jewry and United States immigration policy, 1881-1953 noted that Jewish opposition in 1921 and 1924 to the anti-immigration legislation at the time was due more to it having the “taint of discrimination and anti-Semitism” as opposed to how it would limit Jewish immigration. MacDonald twisted that into something else when he wrote,  “…Jewish opposition to the 1921 and 1924 legislation was motivated less by a desire for higher levels of Jewish immigration than by opposition to the implicit theory that America should be dominated by individuals with northern and western European ancestry.” It’s kind of like the morons these days on the internet that like to repeat the “Anti-Racist is a codeword for Anti-White” slogan coined by white supremacist Ed Fields. In this case, the “taint of discrimination and anti-Semitism” is code for anti-White.  “It seems to me,” Mehler wrote, “Mr. MacDonald is misrepresenting Mr. Neuringer in this case and I posted my query hoping that a historian familiar with the literature might have a judgment on MacDonald's use of the historical data.

In 2001, David Lieberman, a Holocaust researcher at Brandeis University, went after MacDonald as well. He wrote a paper entitled Scholarship as an Exercise in Rhetorical Strategy: A Case Study of Kevin MacDonald's Research Techniques, where he made the point that MacDonald suggesting that Judaism be looked at as an "evolutionary strategy”, and anti-Semitism similarly looked at as a response to that strategy falls rather short of being a scholarly pursuit for truth – and that was being nice.  He noted in particular author Jaff Schatz’s objection to how MacDonald used his work in his trilogy of books to further his oft-repeated notion of how Jewish self-identity validating anti-Semitic sentiments and actions. Schatz is the author of The Generation: The Rise and Fall of the Jewish Communists of Poland, which, as the title suggests, was a look into the history of those members of the Communist Party who were in fact Jewish. This was very useful to MacDonald, as Lieberman writes:

“At issue, however, is not the quality of Schatz's research, but MacDonald's use of it, a discussion that relies less on topical expertise than on a willingness to conduct close comparative readings. From this perspective, one can see MacDonald exerting considerable effort to force Schatz's work into a close fit with his own thesis, which requires not only that there be evidence of reprehensible conduct on the part of Jewish communists in Poland, but that there also be evidence that Jewish communists used their power to secure the interests of Jews (as opposed to the interests of communists) at the expense of the interests of ethnic Poles. Toward this end, MacDonald adopts a citation practice characterized by misleading paraphrases and significant omissions, consistently misrepresenting Schatz in order to bolster his own thesis.”

But MacDonald found himself with a little bit of notoriety in 2011 when he decided to write about the shootings in Oslo, Norway by a deranged gunman with ties to rightist and anti-Muslim groups and individuals. Soon after the shootings, MacDonald published an article for the blog of the Occidental Observer, a white supremacist newsletter he contributes to regularly. It was then picked up by the blog Alternative Right, which is published by white supremacist Dick Spencer, Executive Director of the National Policy Institute. In it he wrote he suggested that the violence in Norway may be the way things are to go:

"There is certainly great revulsion at the murder of young people. However, I suppose it is possible that in the long run European elites will understand that the glorious multicultural future will not be attained without a great deal of bloodletting and realize they will have to change their ways. Indeed, one of (Breivik's) insights is that in the long run 'the multi-cultural neocolonial regimes will either have imploded or have become very Stalinist.' I agree.”

Remember that his American Third Position venture was initiated by a group of criminally violent neo-Nazis, so this passage takes on a whole new meaning. Apparently that prompted antifa to raise a few eyebrows about him and A3P because they started looking into him more. Before long, the internet organization Anonymous announced that they zeroed in on several racist websites, including that of A3P and released a lot of information about the group and its members. The party long guarded this information, and now it is out there for the world to see. That might cripple A3P somewhat, but there is still the matter of what people like MacDonald is promoting in the first place. If indeed he engaged in academic fraud as it seems he has, then he needs to be held accountable for it. That should never be dismissed. And if he is now trying to further those who thinks as he does that may ultimately come to a violent end to his means, he needs to be stopped before he starts.

"I would like to go back to the Atlantic Monthly magazine of November, 1996 where Stanford professor, David Kennedy, said the following, quote, 'The United States has had no experience with what is taking place in the American Southwest. In the next generation or so we will see a kind of Chicano Quebec taking place.' Professor Kennedy characterized it by saying it was a reconquista, a taking back of the American Southwest that was taken from Mexico as the result of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo."

When people submit names to consider for the Rogues' Gallery, the name Dinesh D'Souza came up quite a bit. He was among a huge backlog of people we had to get to, but a fire was lit under us when we were reading some stuff on a prominent anti-racist named Tim Wise who has debated D'Souza on occasion. During one particularly heated debate at San Francisco University back in 1996, Mr. D'Souza, who was also attacking the student body that was going against him at this event, said that that Wise was, "the Uncle Tom of the white race." Once we saw that, we pushed D'Souza waaaaaay up on our schedule!

As you can tell from the picture on this entry, D'Souza is not exactly a white man. He is an Indian. Born in Bombay, India in 1961, his family moved to the US in 1978 and he became a US citizen in 1991. A soft-spoken genteel man at times (and we say this because listening to him can make you forget how much of an asshole he is), he is also a major conservative player, and as we see with black and other conservatives of color, frank and often pathetic deconstructions of our racial concerns become the order of the day. D'Souza is best known for this, courtesy of a 1995 book called the End of Racism: Principles for a Multiracial Society, which was so controversial, even black conservatives took offense to it. The reason why leveling the "Uncle Tom" charge at Wise was particularly shocking was because in the preface of this book D'Souza took aim at people who level them at others:

"I recognize that minorities too must endure vicious attacks and name-calling for dissenting from the political agenda promoted by civil rights groups. During my travels to hundreds of schools and colleges over the past several years, I have heard African Americans called Uncle Toms, Aunt Tomassinas, Aunt Jemimas, House Negroes, Oreos, Incognegroes, Afro-Saxons, and Negrophobic blacks. I have heard Asian dissenters called coconuts (yellow on the outside, white on the inside) and Uncle Tongs. American Indians who stray off the ideological reservation are denounced as Uncle Tomahawks. After a recent debate I was approached by a fellow Indian who urged me to "decolonize your mind." When I asked him which part of my speech he disagreed with, he said none of it, but he was gravely troubled by my "real views." Clearly he saw my stated positions as epiphenomenal and distinguishable from my nefarious hidden thoughts. As this example illustrates, minority activists routinely suspect freethinkers like me of selling out our own cause and confirming the suspicions of white racists."

So if he knew better than to hit Wise with the "Uncle Tom" remark, why did he use it? Because D'Souza is suffering from a problem that plagues many conservatives. He is a part of their agenda that does not provide an honest approach to the racial concerns we have and instead serves as an apologist tool for the crimes conservatives are guilty of in this sphere. In addition, this agenda also serves as a tool for conservatives to further those crimes. D'Souza is a longtime player in this field, and as always, when you are a person of color involved in this crap it is very shameful.

D'Souza began his career furthering this agenda while he attended conservative Dartmouth University. He co-founded and edited the Dartmouth Review and used it as a platform for his steady diatribe against multiculturalism. Among the papers gems during D'Souza's tenure was an insulting parody of African American Dartmouth students entitled "Dis Sho Ain't No Jive Bro". After he graduated in 1983, he attended Princeton University for two years and edited an alumni magazine called Prospect, started by conservative Princeton alumni. This publication also saw controversy thanks to D'Souza. During this time, Prospect published an attack on women's studies and published an expose on the sex life of a female undergraduate student without her permission. From Princeton it was on to a stint as the managing editor of the Heritage Foundation's Policy Review from 1985 to 1986. In 1987, after writing a biography about Jerry Falwell, he became a senior domestic policy analyst for the White House, and then a research fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). Throughout his career he has been supported by conservative money, particularly the John M. Olin Foundation.

His books have been the things that garner him the most attention. His first book was the New York Times best-seller Illiberal Education (1991), in which he attempted to make the argument that there is an effort to take any teachings of Western civilization out of college campuses and replace it with education on race and gender issues. This book was funded in part by the Olin Foundation through the Institute for Educational Affairs and the Madison Center and promoted by such foundation-backed publications as the National Review. Needless to say, this was not an even-handed critique on the state of colleges, and as People for the American Way notes, it is something that D'Souza likes to play off:

Summarizing his views on affirmative action in a 1995 Wall Street Journal op-ed entitled "Separation of Race and State," D'Souza cites the University of Berkeley, California study finding that black enrollment without affirmative action would drop from six percent to one to two percent and concludes that "Proportional representation will end only when we have the courage to say that we are willing to live with these outcomes until blacks are able to raise their own standards to compete at the highest levels." In blithe disregard of American employment history, D'Souza argues that discrimination in hiring qualified African Americans "makes no economic sense" and therefore discrimination will be eliminated by the free market.

In 1995, D'Souza published The End of Racism, which was an interesting title for a book as it was written by someone who was contributing to the continuance of racism since the days of the Dartmouth parody. It was especially interesting given this book came out just months after another controversial book was published by a colleague of his at AEI. The Bell Curve, by Charles Murray (1994) was the subject of that controversy because in the book the author had argued that persons of African decent were genetically inferior to whites. This was all still fresh when The End of Racism was published, and the book's title refers to what D'Souza believes will be racism's end - when black people stop bitching about it.

In The End of Racism, D'Souza chose to attack not the intellect of black society as Murray did in The Bell Curve, but rather its culture, which he considered pathological. He uses as an example the institution of slavery in America, which he does not consider to have even been a racist institution. "in 1830 there were over 3500 black slave owners in America who collectively owned more than 10,000 slaves" He notes. Furthermore, he says that many of these black slavers where half-white, or "mulatto" and were typically even more harsh and cruel on their slaves than whites.

To be honest, D'Souza makes a valid point. Slavery at its core was about economic stability, and to that end it did not matter who was a slave or even a slave owner. To say that it was not a racist institution is ignorant as hell because that is what it developed into. The late Black Panther leader Fred Hampton once said "Racism is a by-product of capitalism," and slavery speaks directly to that. People of African decent were seen as slaves, and a free black was rare. Even if you were free, you still had a fear of someone kidnapping you and selling you into slavery. This brings us to the mulattos. If you were a mulatto, that meant you could possibly pass for white, and if you could there would be a burden to do so to maintain your standing in life. They had something to prove, and they had to show they were more white than black, or as one website put it, even more white than white. In order for the rewards of social acceptability to be gained, they had to exceed expectations to ensure that their was no doubt that they were "as good as whites" at what they did, if not better. And if that meant being even more inhumane than even white slavers, then so be it. That comes from something called racism, Dinesh.

D'Souza wasn't through, however. Apparently, segregation wasn't a racist institution either! He argues it was designed to protect African Americans and "to assure that [they], like the handicapped, would be...permitted to perform to the capacity of their arrested development." Elsewhere in the book, D'Souza states that the moral legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "remains ambiguous" because he "was never able to...raise the competitiveness and civilizational level of the black population." If D'Souza was right about segregation he shouldn't have had to and we would have already been performing to those levels.

From this he continued on by justifying the disconnect some whites feel with the black community, saying they feel that "the criminal and irresponsible black underclass represents a revival of barbarism in the midst of Western civilization." Of course, D'Souza doesn't consider the non-racist slavery institution or the charitable days of segregation to have played a part in how whites feel. That is the fault of black people too, and he charges African Americans with the burden of proving themselves to a society that kept them down in the first place. "If blacks as a group can show that they are capable of performing competitively in schools and the work force…then racism will be deprived of its foundation in experience," he writes. "If blacks can close the civilization gap, the race problem in this country is likely to become insignificant."

So what did he offer as a way to do this? Bring back segregation! In the final chapters of his book D'Souza claims that the solution to racism in this country is to repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and replace it with a new law that expressly prohibits any recognition of race within the government, but allows absolute freedom of use of race by private industry in determining how it should operate. He absolves white racists from any sin, particularly cab drivers who would not pick up black fares. Although it is criminal for a cab driver to do this, D'Souza feels that instead those who should be considered criminal are those who stop this activity. After all, they are scared they will be robbed by "young black thugs". Therefore, all blacks must be treated as if they are thugs as well. If you want to go after racists, however, don't worry. D'Souza claims that the only racists that are any serious danger in America today are black, so we should be going after them, never mind the fact that black racists only surface as a response to white racism. Regardless of how wrong any form of racism is, it is a little hard to take the high ground as it stands with black racists if they are getting the message that's how the game is played.

And like we said earlier, this was too much for even black conservatives. Two prominent African American conservatives, Robert Woodson, Sr., who called D'Souza "the Mark Fuhrman of public policy," and Glenn Loury renounced their affiliation with the American Enterprise Institute over its support for The End of Racism. Loury, in his review of the book, notes that AEI marketed it extensively in business circles, that "Republican staffers on Capitol Hill are said to have eagerly anticipated how the book might move the affirmative action debate in the 'right direction.'" In the end, it embarrassed the Right in the country.

Now it should be noted that there is also an account of the 1994 American Renaissance conference in The End of Racism that was not too favorable. D'Souza attended this conference and took shots at a number of people, notably the late, unlamented white supremacist Dr. Sam Francis, a shot that would eventually cost Francis his job at the Washington Times. If anyone asks why D'Souza, who is apologetic about white racism, is critical of these white racists, the answer is simple. The American Renaissance crowd views the problems of race as being a matter of genetics. D'Souza rejects this.

In the past decade, D'Souza has written more books and has made more appearances on television, radio and at colleges. He has not wavered from his beliefs, which means what happened at San Francisco University in 1996 happens a lot. He has been on Bill Maher's old show Politically Incorrect , and most notably on the day that Maher said that the terrorists who attacked on Sept. 11 were not cowards because they were in the planes as they were going into the buildings, while "We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away.". This was a remark many contend cost him that show, but the irony in this is that Maher was actually concurring with D'Souza who had said calling those terrorists cowards would not be accurate. "These are warriors, and we have to realize that the principles of our way of life are in conflict with people in the world."

Maher caught hell. D'Souza did not. That's because the conservatives in this country still have use for D'Souza. He is a person of color that considers himself a conservative and the right needs every last one of them they can get. D'Souza will continue to be on the scene as long as he has viability among the conservatives in this country. If you never heard of him, however, it is because he doesn't have viability among the rest of us.

NAME: Peter Mitchell Gaughenbaugh DOB: 03/16/1981 HOME BASE: 9910 NE 33rd Ave Anthony, FL 32617-3415

This one is stupid.

Seriously, real stupid.

Even we have even the slightest sympathy for the Hammerskin Nation, this is enough to just say to hell with them. With the running tally of sex offenders, and especially child-sex offenders groups like ours have on the neo-Nazis in this country and abroad, why in hell’s name would the Hammerskins employ a convicted and registered sex offender to run the Crew 38 website. Seriously, and we ask this question semi-rhetorical, what the hell is wrong with these people?

The latest in “this is why we call them boneheads” lore is a guy named Pete Gaughenbaugh, who is the webmaster of www.Crew38.com, the website for the Hammerskin Nation support group. He regularly posts there as “38florida”, although “hatemonger” was his original screen name before they revamped it. On Stormfront, he is “White Racialist”, and he posts there pretty frequently. On Twitter, he posts a lot under the screen name Pete 838. It is believed he is the new representative for the Confederate Hammerskins in Florida.

Now apparently Pete is concerned about what is out there online. A lot of the more curious stuff has been scrubbed from his Twitter page but not only the people he is following still includes people from the Hammerskins circles, as well as David Duke and other white racists, it really wasn’t worth it for him to scrub his more racist tweets when Twtrland.com is caching his page, enabling us to see things that used to be there, such as the Hammerskin logo that used to be his avatar and the more racist tweets. His Linkedin page has vanished completely from the internet, and that’s due to some folks out there have been alerting his bosses over at his job at Gainesville, Florida-based property management firm AMJ, Inc., where he works as a construction superintendent.

In any case, those internet outlets that he doesn’t have control over still exist, most notably his State of Florida sex offender page . That lists an arrest and conviction in August 2005 for possession of child porn in Alachua, FL.

This wasn’t his first arrest. According to one report, he was arrested in 2001 and was on probation for drug charges, but three years later, Gaughenbaugh, then a National Alliance member, was nabbed when police searched his home and found 739 rounds of ammunition, knives and several loaded handguns. In addition to the probation violation however, he ended up with a child abuse charge. Seems his live-in girlfriend was underage, so he caught a two-year sentence for all this. Judging from the timeline, we are assuming the child porn charge he is listed with might be in relation to the one for child abuse, but the story behind the charge isn’t available just yet.

Ironically, Pete felt the need in 2010 to alert the folks on Stormfront about an alleged rapist within the WP circles in a thread he titled “Public Service Announcement – Rapist and Snitch”. He eventually posts that the charges were dismissed, saying that evidence was “misplaced”, leading him to conclude that the alleged rapist was talking to the feds and, revisiting the thread two years later, note that the prosecutor that in his words “blew this case” was Angela Corey, who is currently prosecuting George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin. We do have to chuckle at an more ironic thing found on this thread, when one person there made this plea: “Anyone with proof of a snitch/rapist/ped. who has been involved in the movement needs to make others aware of such a person.” Done and done.

The Hammerskin Nation is in the news lately because one of their number, Wade Page, went to a Sikh temple in Wisconsin and shot and killed six people before turning the gun on himself. These particular boneheads think that after that they can go through life like business as usual, which is why Gaughenbaugh is promoting this year’s Hammerfest in Boise, Idaho as if nothing has changed. The last Hammerfest, which was held in its usual spot in Florida, featured two of the bands the Page played in, Definite Hate and 13 Knots. This year, another one of the bands Page was in, Max Resist, will be in Boise, and Gaughenbaugh is on hand to promote it. But you can’t be too surprised the Hammerskins don’t care about how bad this looks. If they don’t have a problem with a drug addict child sex offender running their website, what is it to them if you don’t like them working with the bands of a murderer?

NAME: Steve Lonegan DOB: 04/27/1956 HOME BASE: Larch Ave. Bogota, NJ

We needed to profile Bogota, NJ Mayor Steve Lonegan for a long time, but this entry is expedited because there is no way in hell we can allow a mayor in our stomping grounds with ties to hate groups go on with his BS without a response. There's a reason why this misuse of the word man was not elected governor of New Jersey last year, let alone allowed to go past the Republican primary, but we will get to that in a minute. What prompted us to write this is his current campaign to get McDonald's to remove a billboard from his town that is written in Spanish. He is just beginning to get some airtime on national television over this, and he appeared on the Faux News Channel to explain how McDonald's is causing division in the community, of which 21% is Latino, with their sign advertising iced coffee. "You know, the McDonald's marketing plan they announced was to put these billboards up in the communities of Newark…West New York, Irvington and East Orange, all of whom have large illegal alien populations," He said on the morning show Fox and Friends. "Bogota does not. And I think that McDonald's was mistaken in coming into Bogota and assuming our Latino population didn't speak English…"

Now it isn't just for "their" Latino population that he is speaking for. "What they've done is they've successfully caused a division in our community where the non-His - some of the non-Hispanic population is offended that this group is no longer, it appears, willing to assimilate. But that's not the case."

Lonegan is absolutely right that is not the case. It is also not the case that he is speaking for the Hispanic population. Later he notes that the division McDonald's apparently caused is best demonstrated by the fact that "the first thing people are doing now is calling me a racist and a bigot." Of course, it doesn't help Lonegan's cause when he makes the comment that "I know my Latino population." That's pretty much the same thing that Southern segregationalists used to say about the Northerners during the Civil Rights Movement, and just like then when they declared "We know our Negroes", Lonegan doesn't know jack about his Latino population. It was them that alerted us to the crap he is pulling, and it is them that are calling him a racist and a bigot. What's more, this has been said about him before the billboard. Way before. In fact One People's Project has twice gone to Bogota, NJ to participate in counter-demonstrations against Ron Bass' United Patriots of America (UPA) because Lonegan had repeatedly hosted them at the town's VFW hall. The UPA is shunned by other local anti-immigrant groups because they are cozy with anti-immigrant hate groups like the American Immigration Control Foundation (AICF). This organization is the one that came up with the phony reconquista conspiracy theory - a concentrated effort by Mexicans to take over the Southwest and reclaim it for Mexico by crossing the border - and who's leader John Vinson is a Council of Conservative Citizens member. Lonegan, who has had police try to discourage protests at these events, and at one time was able to get the cops to make people leave (hey, if he is going after a billboard, you think free speech is going to be his top priority?), has spoken at several of the UPA's meetings and events, and for someone who "knows" his Latino population well enough to speak for them, he should know better than to hang with this crowd if he is worried about division in his community, not to mention being called out as a bigot.

This is all happening because Steve Lonegan thinks he is going to be the guy who will force neo-conservatism down the throat of New Jersey. He has busied himself with making the state as right-wing as he is for a number of years now. When he ran for governor, he made it very clear that's what his intentions were, and to that end he must feel he has to shape himself into the biggest asshole going. To be honest, it looks like that for him it is more about being right-wing than it is about being for the people he is supposed to serve. The indie film Anytown USA spotlighted his campaign for reelection in 2003, and in the movie you can see how much the people felt he was polarizing the community even then. Sadly, he was still able to win the election, but he went on, as we noted to get trashed in his run for governor in 2005. His next go around to reclaim his office for another four years is in 2007, and you can bet things will be heated.

There will be more in this entry about Lonegan in the near future, but as we said earlier, we needed to make sure this scumbag was noted in the Gallery. His hate routine for the past number of years has gone on long enough. Bottom line: he needs to go.

You know the funniest thing about all of this? Bogota doesn't even have a McDonald's!

Since he has hassled us in the slightest way, we are now releasing the details of Jason Noah's hate crimes as well as his mug shot and other minor details. All of which are also public information.

Jason W Noah is a 31 year old White supremacist from Blue Island, IL. He has been involved with the WP scene since he was about 15 or 16 years old, claims to have been a skinhead since the 5th grade, and has been to several white supremacist rallies and white power concerts across the country. He attended Eisenhower High school in the late 90's. Jay used to be in a crew called T.C.B. led by former head of security for Skrewdriver Del O'Connor. This crew fizzled out and members went on to join Volksfront (VF). Jason also used to have ties to the white power band "confederate storm" who eventually went on to form the pop punk band known as Mest.

On August 21st, 1998, Jason was arrested with Paul Lira and Jason Brachens for a hate crime after Paul beat up a kid at Crescent Park for nothing other than being black (case number: 98CR30122). After the fight ended, all three retreated while yelling "white power". In the statement, Jason Noah states that "under his skinhead and white power beliefs, the white race is superior to the black race". Jason plead guilty and received 30 days in jail and 30 months probation. Later, on May 13th 2003, Jason and Paul were arrested together once again. This time they were charged with a hate crime and aggravated battery on a police officer (case number: 2003CR1167401) after Jason swerved his vehicle towards officer Bouie on Maplewood Ave while yelling out racial slurs. After the officer pulled into the parking lane to avoid being hit, Jason pulled into an alley and made a three point turn to come where the officer was pulled over. Long story short Jason and Paul struck officer Bouie and officer Christopher Trenton in the head and body. Jason was facing about 2 years and was eventually convicted and sentenced with "time served".

Although Jason is mostly tied up with family nowadays, him and his neo-nazi wife (Hida1979) are still attempting to network via Jason Heicke's new social networking site known as the Advanced White Society(AWS), a second rate Facebook for white supremacists. Jay used to work at a power plant at Cermak and Halsted until mid September. He now works at Will County's Midwest generation (529 E. 135TH St) in Romeoville, IL.

NAME: Robert Huber AKA: "Jay"  "ChicagoHass" DOB: 03/17/1981 HOME BASE: Old Address - 131 Thorn Lane, Apt. 3 Newark, DE 19711 Old Phone (might still work)- 302.292.8413

In 2003 the white power band Blue Eyed Devils played their last show. Formed out of an earlier group called Nordic Thunder (whose lead singer Joe Rowan was deprived of his useless life courtesy of a bullet on his 22nd birthday), they took all their Earth Crisis/One Life Crew/Ignite influences and reinvented themselves into a white power hardcore band that sucked even more than the band they all came from. Regardless of their lack of talent, they were able to saunter on for a few years, enduring repeated lineup changes and beatdowns in the street (well, that was mostly their lead singer Drew), until their drummer Ryan Huber, picked up and left for Houston, Texas. His brother is Robert Huber and he played guitar for the band. Now he is trying to live a nice quiet life in Newark, Delaware with his Polish national wife, who he met at a show when his band toured her country and reportedly married when she came here and lived as an illegal immigrant until they tied the knot. Since he left the band he grew his hair out and always wears long sleeves so no one sees his neo-Nazi tattoos and pegs him. He also gets very nervous talking to strangers on the street about his extracurricular activities, and that is understandable. He may be concerned he would end up on website like this. We can understand that concern all too well. Pity.

In November of 2003 Robert and his old B.E.D. lead singer Drew started another WP hardcore band called Teardown (not to be confused with a metal band by the same name from Finland, or the metal band from Brazil who also has the name). The original lineup didn't last too long before members were replaced and Robert found himself the only original member of this band. The band's website does not mention any of the past bands the members past or present belonged to, saying instead that they were formed "by a couple of friends that had played together in a few local bands over the past several years", and that "Bob has played in variety of local hardcore bands, and has traveled extensively in America and Europe to play shows." Apparently they didn't count on folks from the hardcore scene to pay attention, but they did. This was apparent by a few posts to the East Coast Hardcore website. "Nothing is worse than a band that is white power that has to fuckin' use the hardcore scene as a stepping stone to promote their music and beliefs," one post read. "They claim they are not racist, but they are on a WP record label and open up for hatecore bands. I fuckin' hate fencewalkers who are too afraid of their own beliefs." On the board for Hatebreed, an anti-racist but pretty apolitical band that Teardown rips off, there is mention of when Teardown does attempt to play non-WP shows, they are "well known for getting booed and shitted on." Nice track record for a band that has been around for just over a year! No doubt Huber & Co. will see a little more shit in the near future.

NAME: Douglas Hewson Christie, Jr. DOB: 4/1946 DOD: 3/11/2013 HOME BASE: 10 Courtney St. Victoria, B.C. V8W 1C4 Canada RELATED ITEMS: Sources Used and Cited: Kinsella, Warren. Webo of Hate: Inside Canada?s Far Right Network. Harper Collins. Toronto. 1994. (Rupert Murdoch owns Harper Collins, by the way) Christie Sues Martlett http://www.uv.es/~pla/alteritat/sacar.html

Douglas Hewson Christie Jr. has been a fixture on the Canadian right for well over two decades. As a lawyer, Christie has taken on the defence of some of Canada?s most notorious racists and Holocaust deniers. While he cannot necessarily be faulted for defending his clients, as everyone is certainly entitled to a fair trail, his own deeds and words place him squarely in the camp of those he defends in court. 

Christie was born on April 1946 in Winnipeg, MB. The eldest of three children, Christie graduated from the University of British Columbia?s law school in 1970. Opinions about his legal skills vary depending upon who one speaks to. Some journalists describe him as disorganized and often not prepared for his cases. However some of his counterparts in the legal profession, including those who do not consider him to be a friend, describe him as a skilled attorney. (Kinsella, 86) 

By the early 1980s, Christie had become involved with politics, founding a party he named the Western Canada Concept Party (WCC) which opposed bilingualism, the metric system, ?Big Brotherism,? and was in favour of restoring the British Union Jack as the national flag of Canada. This party eventually became a separatist party that favoured separation of the four western provinces (BC, AB, SK, and MB) from the rest of Canada. The early 80s, because of disputes between Alberta and Ottawa, was the high point for the WCC. On November 20, 1980, Christie and his ally Elmer Knutson (leader of the Western Federation Association) drew 3000 Edmonton, AB residents to a rally which demanded a referendum on separation. The Christie/Knutson alliance eventually collapsed, and the two parties lost ground primarily because they drew into their midst anti-Semites, fascists, and white supremacists. Among the early members and/or supporters of the WCC were Jim Keegstra, Aryan Nations associate Jim Harding, and Terry Long (president of the Christian Defence League and eventual leader of the Canadian Aryan Nations). Long ran as a WCC candidate in the riding of Lacombe, AB in 1983. 

Although the WCC quickly lost any support amongst mainstream voters, it remained a vehicle for the racist right for several years. In 1990, for instance, Terry Long had members of the Final Solution Skinheads provide security at a WCC meeting where Christie was scheduled to speak. One of these, Daryl Rivest, admitted that "The WCC was a political front for the Ku Klux Klan here in Canada."

Christie's first high profile case came when he became the attorney for Jim Keegstra. In January 1983, Keegstra, who as a Social Studies teacher (and former Eckville, AB mayor), taught his students that the Holocaust was a hoax and that there was a Jewish conspiracy to destroy Christianity, was formally charged with wilfully promoting hatred towards an identifiable group. Christie was paid for his services using monies donated for his defence through Terry Long's Christian Defence League. 

One of the early court room spectators during the Keegstra preliminary hearings was Ernst Zundel. Though Christie was considered rude, sarcastic, and often interrupted witnesses (the judge ordered him to cease his theatrics), Zundel was impressed by Christie whom he described as a ?tough, principled, and learned attorney.? In September of 1984, Zundel retained Christie as his own lawyer to defend him against charges of spreading false news about the Holocaust; on his flight to Toronto to defend Zundel, Keegstra was accompanied by his ?bodyguard? Edgar Foth, a former member of Bob Matthews? Silent Brotherhood (i.e. The Order). (Kinsella, 92) 

While Christie lost both the Keegstra and Zundel trial (he was more successful in Zundel?s case where he won his appeal to the Supreme Court), Doug Christie became a fixture in the far-right movement. His clients include: 

- Jim Keegstra. 

- Ernst Zundel (1984-present). 

- John Ross Taylor (Western Guard). 

- Bill Harcus and Theron Skryba of the Manitoba KKK. 

- Malcolm Ross (another teacher, this one in New Brunswick, who was fired for his ant-Semetic writings). 

- Imre Finta (charged under Canada?s crimes against humanity laws for his actions during World War II). 

- The Canadian Free Speech League. 

- Edgar Foth (former Silent Brotherhood ["The Order"] member). 

- Tony McAleer (operator of the Canadian Liberty Net, a white supremacist telephone hate line). 

- Lady Jane Birdwood of England (a woman who has run for the fascist British Nationalist Party and who was convicted of distributing and possessing thousands of antisemitic leaflets). 

- Eileen Pressler (Founder and leader of the Council On Public Affairs: for more on this case click onhttp://www.uv.es/~pla/alteritat/sacar.html). 

- Murray Gauvreau, an associate of the racist Canadian League of Rights. 

- Rudy Stanko of the Church of the Creator. 

- British Holocaust denier David Irving. 

- Paul Fromm. 

- The Northern Alliance (Not the US-sponsored Afghan rebels, but a racist group led by Jason Ouwendyk out of London, Ontario). 

- Michael Seifert (Accused Nazi war criminal facing extradition to Italy where he was convicted in abstentia two years ago for the murder and torture of 11 people in a fascist prison camp in Bolzano, Italy. 

It is clear that Christie, by his deeds and words, also shares the ideology of his clients. He's a contributor to Paul Fromm?s anti-immigration, anti-Semetic, C-FAR and the Heritage Front?s ?UpFront?. Christie is the founder of the Canadian Free Speech League, a front for an anti-Semitic, pro-Nazi agenda. This group has given an annual reward to those that it claims are courageous supporters of freedom. Past recipients of the award include Lady Jane Birdwood, Ron Gostick (Canadian League of Rights leader), Paul Fromm, Malcolm Ross, and David Irving. 

During the Imre Finta trial, Christie made a distinction between Jewish eyewitnesses, "most of whom affirmed before giving evidence, and jurors who swore on the Bible [his client and witnesses] upon taking their oath." The judge criticized Christie for "appealing to religious prejudice." (Kinsella, 99) 

On March 29, 1990 during a fundraiser for Finta, Christie was tapped saying: 

This is war. A war without violence, but a war even more insidious than a violent war. With a violent war you can see the enemy. You can hear their guns. You can see their injuries. In this war, we don?t see the enemy. They shoot their silent media bullets into the heart of the matter, and they willingly turn on those like us who speak out. (Kinsella, 100)

Later in the same speech, Christie relates to his audience how Jewish children would come to the trial: 

"If you want to notice what is really going on, you have got to be there courtroom 403. You see, we have Jewish classes coming in for theatre or entertainment, but I haven?t seen too many people I could recognize as non-Jewish? They are all there, it seems to me, to see vengeance. That?s really what it's about." 

From the WCC website, Christie penned an article in which he goes on to make the following statement: 

"Recently we have seen the emergence of a strange new phenomenon. East Indian young men gathered together as a sort of ethnic tribe, have beaten to death a young Filipino man. The media, the Vancouver city police, Mary Wu Sims, the former human rights commissioner of British Columbia, and all the politically correct elected officials are very quick to deny that there is such a thing as an East Indian gang. This would imply that racism is not just a white phenomenon. 

The only people who are ever considered racists have to be by definition white. The term "white supremacist? was designed to silence the majority of people who question Canada's immigration policy. This term of course would be applied to any Western separatists who talked about our culture."

Christie also made frequent trips to the United States to meet with prominent holocaust deniers. OPP members ran into him when he attended the Real History, USA conference at a Mariott just over the Kentucky border in Cincinnati on August 31 - September 3 2001. It included British revisionist David Irving, Institute for Historical Review head Mark Weber, Paul Fromm, Joseph Sobran, and Tony Martin as other speakers. 

Christie initially took on Ernst Zundel's deportation case currently before the Canadian courts. At last report, Zundel had dropped the case due to the pressures related to traveling, however he was till supportive of Zundel and offers assistance whenever possible. Doug Christie remained a fixture on the right until that great day when he was diagnosed with with prostate cancer in 2011 and died of metastatic liver disease in Victoria's Royal Jubilee Hospital in 2013.

NAME: John Stortstrom DOB: 1985 HOME BASE:Germantown, MD

In recent months, we have been dealing with a group white supremacist gloryhounds out of Maryland led by Matthew Heimbach, who in addition to a number of other organizations has been notable as the guy who started what he called a "White Student Union" on the campus of Towson University. While not recognized by the school, this White Student Union crowd still manages to get some media posturing time in via stunts like announcing anti-crime patrols on campus, harassing black conservatives during their CPAC workshop, or protesting May Day celebrations in Washington DC, the latter resulting in a rather comical altercation with this crew between them and the May Day participants. Now of this crew, Heimbach, his girlfriend the ironically-last-named Theresa Braun, Scott Terry and Shane Long are the only ones who publicly identify themselves. Others in the group prefer not to bask in the media glow and stand behind them, lending their support in the background. One of them, a guy named John Stortstrom, might have a pretty good reason for that, but its also the reason why we better not Let him stay in the shadows. See, not only is he vice-president of a Republican Party club that curiously was comfortable enough with Heimbach that he was invited to speak at one of their meetings, but his job - his actual bread winning profession - is making things that explode! What’s more, that job is with the part of the US Military that works with chemical weapons!

Shall we begin?

The Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) is a part of the U.S. Army and it’s Wikipedia entry calls it “the United States’s principal research and development resource for non-medical chemical and biological (CB) defense.” In addition to protecting the nation from the threat of chemical and biological weapons, they also assist in the development of chemical warfare defense technology. After graduating first from Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, MD in 2003 and then from the University of Maryland in 2008, Stortstrom started working for the Army in April of 2009, and he currently works in the Obscuration and Nonlethal Engineering Branch of the ECBC. In a video posted in 2012, he explained one of the projects he was working on at the time.

Now when it comes to his politics, what you will see on the internet is him playing it strictly mainstream. He was the Executive Director of the Maryland Federation of College Republicans in 2009, as evidenced by a comment from him in an article about Romney on the Huffington Post. Currently, he is the Vice-President of the Route 40 Republican Club in Maryland which has brought national GOP figures to their meetings and among its current activities include raffling off AR-15s at gun rallies. And then this month, they invite Heimbach to speak and call for the Republican Party to stand up for white interests. Of course everyone on the racist right say this is the greatest thing in the world for them, but when you talk to the mainstreamers, that might be a different story. Before the speaking engagement, one Maryland blogger voiced his displeasure with the invite to the group’s president Frank Mullis, who responded by noting he was of the “Hebrew Faith”, that Heimbach “does not have a hate for anyone” and that the blogger has “such dislike for yourself”. It sounds like if RNC Chairman Reince Priebus is going to do that outreach to communities of color, he has his work cut out for him if clowns like Mullis are representing the party.

But let’s not forget about Stortstrom. We said earlier that he plays it mainstream on the internet, and he does play it cool with his public displays of affection for Heimbach and the White Student Union. So if you want to see him involved with that crowd, you actually have to go to where that crowd is. Stortstrom officially got on the radar when he showed up at the Jared Taylor appearance at Towson University. He not only asked a question of the aging White supremacist, but when a student that asked Taylor about where he fit in as an Italian, given the long-held dispute of the ethnicity of some Italians. Stortstrom upon hearing that shouted out to that student, “You were always white!” from the audience. And lest we think this was some onetime experience with Taylor, in April, Stortstrom attended the white supremacist American Renaissance Conference just outside Nashville, pretty much making his connections with that crowd solid. A few weeks later, he was participating in the pro-gun rally where he was raffling off the AR-15.

In 1995, it was noted in one study that terrorist elements may have established themselves within the United States Armed Forces. That concern came just after Tim McVeigh’s horrific bombing in Oklahoma City. In 2013, we are not even allowing people on planes just because they have Muslim names, so you can imagine what we are thinking when we see a guy who is a military contractor who job it is to develop bombs (albeit in his professional capacity non-lethal munitions) associating himself with the same element that has more than a passing association with racist domestic terrorists such as McVeigh. Add to that his political pull via his position with the Republican Club, and we have someone who is playing a very serious game. If the authorities are looking at this the same way we are, John Stortstrom might be getting himself an immediate career change. That may be why at press time he is suspended by the ECBC pending an investigation.

NAME:Alan Colmes A/K/A:"The Lone Washington General", "The Doormat" "LTBD" HOME BASE: New York, NY RELATED ITEMS: Replace Alan Colmes

Sellouts. They are everywhere in our culture. They can be conservatives of color, they can be women who fight against women's rights, and they can be Log Cabin Republicans. Now when we are talking of sellouts that share political beliefs, one often means someone who concedes and capitulates to the other side to benefit themselves or otherwise keep themselves from being hurt. We are tempted to put Alan Colmes in this category, but if we did we might be just short of the reason why this guy is such a dick. Cartoonist Ted Rall might have it right however. Appearing on Air America last summer and discussing his appearances on the Faux News Channel's Hannity and Colmes, he calls Colmes a "faker". That may be the best way to characterize the onetime so-called liberal counterpart to Sean Hannity's conservatism. Colmes isn't just someone who makes concessions and allows Hannity to run roughshod over him during their alleged debate program. Alan Colmes may not be what they paint him to be. Either that or he is just the epitome of milquetoast. 
Consider this: There aren't too many people out there on the left or right that are politically astute enough to score a nationally televised talk show that hasn?t been active in the field fighting for their beliefs and causes, especially if they do score such a forum. Hannity has been to his share of right wing rallies and functions, even speaking at many of them. One would be hard pressed to find a function, conference, rally - anything that Colmes might have participated in. That would make Rall?s characterization of him as a faker spot on, so who the fuck is he and where did he come from?  

Well for starters, Colmes is basically a radio personality. He started doing talk radio in 1979, just as Iran took over the US Embassy in Tehran. This is where Colmes did something the Alan Colmes of today probably would never do; he called the embassy and scored an interview with "Z", one of the Iranian students that took the place over. Shortly after this, the U.S. State Department banned all calls to Iran. Sadly, this is as good as it gets with Colmes. He bounced around the New York City and Boston radio dial over the next decade,  earning a place in music trivia in the process. He is the radio host that can be heard on Public Enemy's "Incident at 66.6 FM", which can be found on their album Fear of a Black Planet. "Chuck D of Public Enemy took an interview we did on (Howard Stern's former and now-defunct radio station) WNBC and sampled it," Colmes said in an interview. "I was upset that I hadn't been asked permission and felt I was taken out of context and made to sound smarmy. I wanted to sue but WNBC was Emmis Broadcasting and then Infinity, and they owned the material and didn't want to proceed. Chuck and I now laugh about it. He claims he made me internationally famous."

Somewhere in the midst of this Colmes tries his hand as a stand-up comedian, failing miserably, but then came a chance to really make people laugh. In 1996, the Faux News Channel started up and they had an idea to do a program that would basically rip off CNN?s Crossfire. Being right-wing it wasn?t hard for Faux to find the conservative voice for the show. That would be Sean Hannity whom they brought in from Atlanta?s WGST-AM, and soon after would find himself taking up Bob Grant's time slot at WABC-AM in New York after Grant was fired for wishing that former Commerce Secretary Ron Brown was killed in a then-recent plane crash (he was). Despite the fact that they were part of a media that conservatives constantly charge with being full of liberals, they could not find a liberal voice to "counter" Hannity, and the working title of the show was Hannity and Liberal to be Determined (LTBD) After auditioning a number of prospects, Colmes got the job after Hannity expressed his preference for him, and for the first few months Colmes' nickname at Fox was "LTBD". Soon after, Colmes scored a radio slot at WEVD-AM, a station named for famed socialist leader Eugene V. Debs. He would stay there from 1998 to 2001, when the station was sold to ABC/Disney for its ESPN sports format.  
Immediately the conservative agenda of the Faux News Channel was apparent to viewers of the fledgling station, and Colmes was not seen as someone who balanced things out as station execs try to suggest. Indeed in a USA Today article a year before he went to Faux, Colmes said ?I think I?m quite moderate?. We should note that this was published in February, 1995, when the Republicans were just coming into power in Congress. Colmes would later clarify this quote by saying this was meant to say that he thinks his views would be considered moderate if not for the nation's rightward shift in recent years.

Colmes' main thing on almost every program is to begin with a disclaimer that would distance him from whatever positions the liberals took on a topic. If the liberal or progressive guest is particularly strong in their defense of that position, Colmes will chastise that guest on the air, often interrupting them while they are making their point. They would often be framed as asking if it is "appropriate" to approach a position a certain way, or if it is the "right time" for those positions to be expressed. In an article on their website featuring Colmes, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) noted that one gem of his was to concur with Hannity and their guest, anti-feminist lesbian writer Tammy Bruce (i.e., a good definition of a sellout), when they blamed the left for declining values. "Rather than putting up some kind of resistance to this left-bashing--as one might expect a left-of-center host to do," FAIR noted, "Colmes instead concurred: 'I think in some respects you're right. And you and I have talked about this before.'"

There was also the time he complained to Leslie Cagan of the anti-war group United for Peace and Justice about her role in organizing protests against the then-upcoming Republican National Convention, but demonstrations from the left of any kind are going to be met by Colmes with this kind of response, him saying that it makes "our side" look bad. To be real, what makes "our side" look bad is when you stand down and then boast about standing down to those you are standing down on. That is what he did when he appeared as a guest on Bill O'Reilly's show in April, 2003 on the occasion of the Iraq War. According to the FAIR article, O'Reilly (who Colmes cited in his book as one of the other liberals at Faux in an attempt to defend himself against the charge of him being the only one) gave him praise for not criticizing the White House during the Iraq war. "I put forth that once the shelling starts--and you did this--you kept quiet, OK," FAIR quotes O'Reilly as saying. Colmes responded like a little lap dog: "Well, look, I've kept quiet. My choice has been--I have not criticized the administration or this war effort while there are men and women in harm's way, and I will not, and that is my --that's a choice I make." This stance wouldn?t be so much of a problem were it not for how he treated Nathan Britton of California Peace Action when he came on the show to discuss his opposition to the war. After being grilled heavily by Hannity, Colmes joined in the attack asking him under what circumstances, if any, would he support military action against Iraq. Britton was a pacifist and would never support war, but Colmes persisted with the same kind of grilling Hannity gave him. To viewers it was as if Colmes supported the war but didn't want to say so.

He really didn't like how the aforementioned Ted Rall made "our side" look when ex-President Ronald Reagan became worm food. On the show broadcast June 8, 2004, he went after Rall for not showing any traditional signs of respect and instead taking the opportunity to call Reagan out on the crimes conservatives took the opportunity of his death to either whitewash or ignore by painting him as the God of America. To Colmes, Rall was wrong because his position ?make those on my side look bad by showing know grace, no compassion, no sense of humanity for a man who served this country, whether or not you agree with the things he stood for.? Rall was not moved. ?I have more sympathy for the 290 million Americans who are living worse lives under a worse economy, being paid less with worse health care, with more homelessness and more poverty than there would have been, had Ronald Reagan never become president.? Rall said. ?So for me, you're right, I don't have much sympathy for him.? 

Now to be fair, how to deal with not only the death of someone not worthy of praise but was getting it anyway is subject to debate, and has been (of course, we are on Rall's side, considering we have buttons and t-shirts for sale that say "Ronald Reagan Rots in Hell"), but Colmes didn't stop there. Rall mentioned also how President Bush should not be given tribute in death because he was not legitimately elected and Colmes was not happy with that. "That's where I have problems with my fellow liberals who can't get over the election of 2000," he told Rall. "They should be focusing on winning 2004." This is not the first time he has tried to distance himself from the contentions raised about the 2000 Election. In the FAIR article, it was noted that in 2003, when New York City council member Charles Barron called George W. Bush a "selected" president on the show, Colmes scolded him with almost the exact same line. Look, my problem with my fellow liberals is they keep arguing the election of 2000," he said. "Let's move forward. If you want to win in the future, stop talking about the past. "Sorry Alan, but when the man who wasn't elected is the one that occupies the office, that's a little hard to get over without a resolution, and if there isn't one, you can't move forward without worrying about seeing the same screwy results. 

Now that the Democrats indeed lost 2004, Colmes joins his conservative friends that frequent the program in the sentiment that it was due to the left being so mean-spirited towards Bush. In December 2004, he had a guest on the show to discuss the protests that will be held during the inauguration - which he predictably does not support. He also did not support the guest's work in contesting how 2004's election was conducted, and Colmes did not like that. He also did not like the guest calling him out at that point for being soft of progressive issues to begin with and being nothing more than a parrot for the Faux News Channel. Upon that, he proceeded to admonish the guest for dissing Faux which gave him a forum that to be real about it, this guest had in other, less biased outlets in the past. In contrast to all of this. Hannity does not concede anything on the air to his opponents, let alone admonish fellow conservatives. 

As soft as he is on defending what he (no one else except maybe the conservatives who use him) calls his "fellow liberals", the flip side of that makes him even more pathetic. He has a nasty habit of giving glowing praise to those on the right, even when they fuck up so badly. There is his praise of Condoleeza Rice, saying she was "credible and articulate" after her testimony before the 9-11 Commission.  There was his declaration of a ?political masterstroke" regarding Bosh's surprise Thanksgiving 2003 dinner at the Baghdad airport, further asking if the trip will make it harder for Democrats to criticize him on the mess in Iraq. There was also him saying one night that he was happy to do all he could to help Sean Hannity sell as many copies of his book as possible, "Deliver Us from Evil : Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism". If Hannity was half as charitable when Colmes was when his book Red, White and Liberal came out, this would have made sense. Hannity wasn?t however, not that it would have done much good. No one wanted to buy Colmes book anyway, liberal or otherwise. 

According to FAIR, Colmes tries to gain GOP cred by making it known that he voted for New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who despite all of the accolades he received after Sept. 11, is still remembered as one of the most divisive and racist mayors in recent times. "Reminding Fox viewers that he voted for Giuliani is a sort of Colmes on-air mantra," FAIR reports. "According to the show's transcripts, he's done it at least eight times since 1998.?"
FAIR noted another pathetic defense - that of Trent Lott when he was called out for praising Sen. Strom Thurmond?s racist 1948 presidential campaign at Thurmond?s 100^th birthday party. "Oliver North appeared on the show to defend Lott," FAIR reported. "When North blamed 'Alan and all of his colleagues' for Lott's downfall, Colmes corrected him: 'By the way, Ollie, I defended Lott and said he should not have had to step down.' When North responded, 'Because you wanted him there so you could continue to kick him around,' Colmes cited his own pattern of defending Lott: 'Absolutely not. Absolutely untrue. You haven't been watching our show.'" FAIR notes that he also made his defense of Lott clear a month later when Laura Ingrham came on the program.  When Lott himself appeared on the show to complain about Democrats conducting a filibuster to stall confirmation of Bush judicial nominees, Colmes again played the "this makes 'our side' look bad" card again. "I agree with you,? he told Sen. Lott. ?I don't think the Democrats should be doing that. I think they're viewed as obstructionist when they do that."
For the record, when it comes to racial politics and those connected to the Faux News Channel, don?t look for Colmes to call them out. We see that with Lott, who is a frequent guest on the show. We also see that when he defended radio talk-shit host Rush Limbaugh when he left ESPN behind his remarks that a Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Donovan McNabb African-American football star was overrated by the media because he was black, saying he was commenting on the media not McNabb?s race. "We in talk radio owe Rush a debt of gratitude, no matter what side we're on, because he made it possible for us to do what we do, liberal or conservative, because he paved the way for so many of us." Rush Limbaugh is a friend of both Sean Hannity and Faux News president Roger Ailes, who was also the executive producer of Rush?s now-defunct television show.
Bottom line: Colmes knows what side his bread is buttered on. He defended Ailes, who was (some may argue still is) a Republican operative and strategist that worked with Nixon and Reagan. "So what if my boss is a Republican?" he asks in his book Red, White and Liberal, further pointing out others such as Michael Eisner and Richard Parsons give money to the GOP. While it is good that he points this out - indicating that the media is not as liberal as conservatives try to paint it " it's a hell of a stretch to say that someone who throws money at a party trumps a party strategist. But again, Colmes knows what side his bread is buttered on. He also knows who he has to go home to. He is married to the sister of conservative talk-shit host Monica Crowley. That brings us to something real curious. So far in this entry, we have only mentioned a relationship with only one other person that is on the left, Chuck D, and he originally wanted to sue him! Everyone that surrounds Colmes is right of center, or just flat out as far right as they come. It's just as well, because judging from the sentiment expressed by many from the left side of life, they would rather him not be anywhere near them. One anti-Colmes website has sprung up featuring a blog where people express their displeasure with Colmes? spineless approach to his alleged beliefs.  Salon called him "unbelievably toothless." Sen. Al Franken, who in his book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them puts Colmes's name in tiny typeface in every reference to the show, called him a number of names in the book: "a moderate milquetoast", a "liberal on-air punching bag", and the "Lone Washington General", a reference to the team that always plays the Harlem Globetrotters and loses, and one reference that comes up often as it stands with Colmes. There are those who praise him however, and almost all of them are conservatives. Word to the wise: If you are on the left and you are getting props from corrupt Republican House Whip Tom DeLay, Rev.  James Dobson of Focus on the Family, Watergate thug and overall fascist G. Gordon Liddy and Sen. Trent Lott, you are doing something very wrong.

Apparently the critics got to Colmes just a bit, because during the election season, one could see a rather slight uptick in his involvement. The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth for example did not slide by easy with their bullshit about how John Kerry wasn't a real war hero. At least one website, Al Giordano's Big, Left, Outside, credited Al Franken's attack for making Colmes think about how he comes off. "Al Franken is, among other things, a surgeon," Giordano wrote. ?He transplanted a backbone into Alan Colmes, long distance. And put FOX News on the defensive to the point where it has to give Colmes more maneuvering room.?"

Again, too little too late. The only way Colmes helps people get an understanding of the political scene is by showing just how craven the right is. In Colmes they found a way to promote their ideals, disparage ideals they disagree with, and pretend to be fair and balanced while doing it. No one has bought this stunt however. Most people tune into Faux because it is provocative and sensationalist, pretty much the same reasons why they tune into Jerry Springer. If they are looking to be informed, they pretty much get just as much information as they would with Jerry Springer. If Colmes wants to be a party to that, let him, but he should stop saying he speaks for "our side". He has nothing to do with it. 

NAME: Craig Paul Cobb DOB: 10/9/1951 HOME BASE: New: Leith, ND Old: Craig Cobb RR 2, Box 103 Marlinton, West Virginia 24954 (Physical, i.e. non-U.S. postal address= the small village of Frost at the corner of highways 92 and 84) Telephone: 304-799-2223

We like the fact that Dick Butler and William Pierce is dead and that Matt Hale is out of commission for the next 40 years. These were WPs who at the very least had some sort of academic integrity, even if their moral integrity was in the crapper. Now that they are gone, however, WPs needed something to fill the void, and that has been a little hard to do. No, strike that - VERY hard to do! We didn't know how much we could appreciate Butler, Pierce and Hale out of the picture until we witnessed what misfits were taking the top spots over the past year. None of them, unlike Pierce and Butler, were even around during the days of segregation, all of them are so incredibly screwed in the head that even other WPs do their best to stay away from them, and none of them are expected to last long. Now if the current leaders are second, third - no that's being too generous - 400th rate, then you can imagine how laughable the also-rans have to be. That brings us to Craig Cobb, a net Nazi who has been around for some time for whom saying he has issues is being nice. He also might be someone that the Oregon-based TE-TA-MA Truth Foundation might want to talk to. They are currently trying to collect a $200,000 judgment against the Creativity Movement for infringing on their name "Church of the Creator". To do that, they need to find people who were members of the Creativity Movement at the time they were using their name. Cobb has been down with Matt Hale's so-called church for years.

He is making himself easy to find too. At the time of this posting, he is currently trying to purchase properties in a small town in North Dakota to create a whites-only homeland. We are in the process of updating all of the things he has done since we last posted this entry, but let's take a look back at this idiot in the meantime.

In years past, his thing has been to go around rallies and other events with a video camera, mingle with people WPs don't like (people with lives, basically), and make stupid comments to them. He made a particular mark for himself at the Nov. 19, 2005 rally in Kingston, NY, according to Nichole Nicols of Citizens Against Hate who wrote this in her blog:

"With camera in hand at the Kingston rally he infiltrated the press section and proceeded to badger and intimidate a seventeen year old girl bringing her to tears. Claiming to be a reporter for Vanguard News Network, Cobb attempted to stir the bystanders into action. Obviously, not one of the mainstream media, he failed to adhere to any of the ethical standards of generally acceptable behaviors. But, what else is new."

He has been at other events too. He was at the National Socialist Movement (NSM) rally in Yorktown, VA screwing with cops, and he harassed people at the Rosa Parks viewing at the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, DC. He won't bother with people who know him though, especially antifa. Let us just say that he is quite aware of the zero-tolerance policy they have with his nonsense, not to mention their strict enforcement guidelines.

What we know about Cobb is this: Originally from Hawaii, he moved to Marlinton, WV sometime in 2003 (we know at one time he was driving a gray Mercedes with Hawaii tags). Even though he is was involved heavily with the WCOTC, he wanted to be close to the National Alliance as well, and Marlton is just north of Hillsboro, where the National Alliance is based. He was close with Rich Lindstrom who bolted National Alliance to help form National Vanguard, but we don't know if they are still tight. He did leave West Virginia for Missouri for a spell, but apparently he went back to Marlton. We know he owned a small grocery store in 2003, and in October, 2004 a business was registered in his name in Marlton called Gray's Store, Aryan Autographs and 14 Words, L.L.C. According to some information found around the internet, he made neo-Nazi literature available in his store, and in 2004 he was one of those few morons that distributed Panzerfaust's Project Schoolyard CD. Of course that all stopped after Panzerfaust fell apart after the white power record label's owner Anthony Pierpont was busted on drug charges then busted again with the confirmation that he was actually Mexican. Cobb did other kinds of local activism, including leafleting at local public events advocating the boycott of a local school Christmas production. All of this made him no more than a local oddity than anything else.

In fact, "oddity" is the best way to describe him. He was completely obsessed with being online. When attending a Klan rally in Arkansas, He was more concerned with taking pictures and recording things for his website than anything in fact, he reportedly barricaded himself in the computer room of two members of White Revolution for something like two days, claiming he was uploading videos. This was after he allegedly he went to the local Target store and got in to a argument with a racially mixed couple that got so heated he reportedly freaked out and went to his car to get a knife. Luckily things cooled off before things got worse. Given this is a guy who reportedly slaps himself for "exercise" when he is driving long distances, we can only imagine how freakish he was at the Target store. Other oddities are the facts that he is known to carry around genuine silver coins in case the banks crash because he says that if that happens the coins will be real money. Also he won't wear socks and he's paranoid that his feet stink. Why we have that bit of info we don't know, but we ask for any and all information on these guys to give back to the public, so screw it.

And yes, as is the case these days, he has his problems with others in the WP scene. He used to post regularly on Stormfront until he was banned for some reason. And it is curious that his nickname is "Krusty" Yes, as in Krusty the Clown from the Simpsons. His comrades nicknamed him that because to be honest, he looks like him, but the fact that Krusty is Jewish - and a clown - is not lost on us.

Apparently Cobb also has problems with the feds. He has been under investigation by federal law-enforcement for quite sometime because when Judge Joan Lefkow ruled against Matt Hale in the aforementioned trademark case with TE-TA-MA Truth Foundation, Cobb, concluding that the Judge was either Jewish or married to someone Jewish, decided to post her personal information on message boards throughout cyberspace. Later Hale was convicted for soliciting Lefkow's murder and is currently serving forty years in a maximum security prison, something Cobb didn't take too well. According to Nicole Nichols, when Joan Lefkow's mother and husband were both killed in their Chicago home, Cobb continued to provide the racist right with information and "suggestions."

Craig Cobb is a basket case, but this is one guy we are sure as antifa get to know will have a lot of fun with. So be on the lookout for him at the next rally, and if he puts a camera in your face and asks you stupid questions, treat him like the Nazi you now know him to be.
