Senatorial Candidate Urges White People to 'Take Our Country Back'

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI - APRIL 11: A woman attends a Tea Party Express rally April 11, 2010 in Clinton Township, Michigan.

The Tea Party loves to argue that they are not racist. They claim they are simple (literally) Americans who are unhappy with the direction the country is going. Although these same people seemed to be loudly silent when President George W. Bush was shredding the Bill of Rights, running up the deficit and pursing two questionable foreign wars.

But here is one more piece of glaring evidence that shows the true motivation of the Teabbagers. Consider Glenn Miller Jr., who is running for Senate in Missouri. Miller, a convicted felon and white supremacist, made headlines when several stations ran his racist ads, and then realized their error and pulled them.

Miller's ads are the standard racist garbage with talk about white people being outnumbered by the "coons and mud people," but what is revealing is his other choice of words. His call to action is for God-fearing white folks to "take our country back." Where have we heard that before?

You can check out the ad below and compare it to statements from Tea Partyers. You can't make this stuff up !

Klansman's Son Demands Seat On GOP Board

Derek Black Won 60 percent of the vote

I am sure Republicans who accidentally stumble across this blog may think I am deliberately running stories to make them look racially insensitive. All I can say is, I just report the news, I don't create it. Which brings me to this rather shocking story.

Derek Black, the son of a former KKK grand wizard, is suing the Palm Beach County Republican Party for a seat on their Executive Committee. Black won 60 percent of the vote in a primary and is demanding to be seated. The local Republican party, shocked at the election results, apparently barred Black from taking his seat. Local Republican officials claim that Black refused to sign a loyalty oath.

There are so many problems with this story. Firstly, how did a self-avowed white separatist win 60 percent of the vote? And if he won the vote, he should be seated. The problem is the local GOP realize that Black is an embarrassment, but shouldn't someone have vetted him before he ran? I guess Republicans have not learned from the Palin debacle.

Black, who is a wonderkid in white supermacist circles, likes to bill himself as an advocate of "white pride." Like many white supermacists, he is trying to market himself as telegenic, Conservative who wants to show pride in his European heritiage. But look at Black's geneology. His father is a former Klansman and the founder of Stormfront, the granddaddy of online hate sites, and his mother was formerly married to David Duke!

It's disturbing that former and current white supremacists keep popping up in the GOP. Rep. Ron Paul's son Rand, was brushed with scandal after it was revealed that a Senate campaign worker posted racist messages on his MySpace page. Ron Paul (above left) himself has also been dogged by accusations of racially offensive messages in a newsletter he used to run. But judging by the rhetoric that is coming out of the Republican Party, most white supermacists would probably fit right in.
