White Supremacists Murderers and the GOP

$65,000 ? Chump change.

How much has the hate groups "Nation of Islam" and "La Raza" funneled into the Obama and Clinton campaigns?

And we know Hillary accepted millions from corrupt regimes that are some of the worse human rights abusers around the world. The Saudi's have given millions of dollars to the Clintons.

Yet another irrelevant pic brought to you by the master of all things irrelevant, LLIdiot himself.

LLIdiot, have you answered the question yet?

"If you knew during the Spring of 2003 what we know now, would you have (strike the word "still") supported the invasion of Iraq?"

As for me, the answer to the question is "still" NO!

What's your answer, LLIdiot? Originally Posted by bigtex

Next question?

While on the subject, LLIdiot have you answered the question yet?

"If you knew during the Spring of 2003 what we know now, would you have (strike the word "still") supported the invasion of Iraq?"

As for me, the answer to the question is "still" NO!

What's your answer, LLIdiot?

Lama, I don't mean to ignore you but ... if my memory serves me correctly, you once said or implied that you had come to the conclusion that the ill fated and ill advised, Spring of 2003 invasion of Iraq, was a mistake.

I am just trying to see if LLIdiot also feels that way.

No bt, the pic was and is very relevant to this thread. It is the black panthers an extreme racist group of thuggish bastards.

Please tell me again about how "Hillarious" getting "all the votes here" is relevant to this thread?

Seedy, I thought you were smarter than that!

Oh well, we can now add Seedy to the growing list of those who have "gulped" from the Idiot Kool-Aid jug!

Who's next?

No bt, that is a pic of the black panthers in Philadelphia, where they DENIED white people to vote. And it is relevant to this thread, who's drinking the Koolaid?, Maybe you for defending those f uckers, along with our glorious attorney General at the time Holder, who refused to investigate the allegations because they where black.

This is a (dick)slap in the face to all those who like to pretend that the GOP doesn't appeal to the racist wing in this country. It's like cold, hard proof. Originally Posted by shanm

Conservative Republicans. I wonder why that is?

Every one of you deflecting, tap-dancing asshats who are trying to avoid consideration of that issue ought to spend some time thinking about it.

Did they know what the group was about?

LOTS of politicians from both parties cash checks from any one who sends money to them without checking their agenda.

But it means nothing.

I remember something Reagan said in a related context, "I'm not paying to support their beliefs, they are paying to support mine" (I'm paraphrasing).

I would take their money and then give them nothing they wanted. What are they going to do? Donate to Hillary? Originally Posted by ExNYer

According to the New York Times, the group is quite familiar to Republicans. A google search by a 5 year old would have revealed their agenda. Trent Lott, Haley Barbour and Mike Huckabee have actually addressed meetings of the group. Their agenda is so openly racist that in 1999, the GOP national chairman called on all republicans to quit the organization.

As for your Reagan quote....you make my point. Look whose paying to support republican beliefs. Openly racist hate organizations.




>>>>>>The Council of Conservative Citizens opposes “all efforts to mix the races,” and believes “that the American people and government should remain European in their composition and character.” It would severely restrict immigration, abolish affirmative action and dismantle the “imperial judiciary” that produced, among other rulings, the 1954 Supreme Court decision that integrated American education.
Those are among the core principles of the council, a Missouri-based organization with a long history of promoting white primacy. Now the massacre of nine black parishioners in a Charleston, S.C., church has propelled the organization, which in recent years seemed in decline, back onto the national stage and embroiled the Republican Party in new questions about its ties to the group.

• Many of the themes promoted on the council’s website resonate through an online manifesto apparently written by Dylann Roof, who has been charged in the killings last week in Charleston. The manifesto traced the motivation for the shootings to a twisted epiphany: a Google search that led to the council’s website, where “pages upon pages of brutal black on White murders” were tallied and described.

“I have never been the same since that day,” the manifesto attributed to Mr. Roof said.
Since it rose in the 1980s from the ashes of the old and unabashedly racist White Citizens’ Councils, the Council of Conservative Citizens has drifted in and out of notoriety. But it is clearly back in: Last weekend, three Republican presidential candidates — Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky — announced that they were returning or giving away donations from the council’s president, Earl Holt III.
Since 2011, Mr. Holt has also contributed at least $3,500 to Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, a Republican who is expected to run for president. A spokesman for Mr. Walker said he would donate the money to the Mother Emanuel Hope Fund, which is helping families of the Charleston massacre. All told, Mr. Holt, who did not return calls for comment, has given at least $57,000 to Republican candidates for federal and state offices.

But those contributions, first reported by The Guardian, tell only part of the story of the council’s ties to Southern Republican officeholders. In the 1990s, the council counted influential Republican friends from town halls to the halls of Congress. Among those who have addressed its meetings were Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi, at one time the Senate majority leader; Haley Barbour, a former national Republican chairman who was campaigning for governor in Mississippi at the time; and Mike Huckabee, the presidential candidate who was then Arkansas’ lieutenant governor. More recently, Gov. Nikki R. Haley of South Carolina dropped a council official in her state, Roan Garcia-Quintana, from her re-election campaign’s advisory committee in 2013 after his ties to the group became public.




In 1999, a cascade of reports linking Mr. Lott and other prominent Republicans to the council led the party’s national chairman, Jim Nicholson, to urge all Republicans belonging to the group to quit the organization, calling it racist. Back then, the council claimed 15,000 members, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups, and was among the largest such groups in the country.
In the past decade, the council appeared to have lost its old vigor. “We were wondering whether they would survive,” Heidi Beirich, the director of the law center’s Intelligence Report, who investigates such groups, said in an interview. “They don’t hold as many events; they don’t have as many chapters.”

But the manifesto attributed to Mr. Roof, posted on a website called lastrhodesian.com, suggests that the council continues to have influence among followers of so-called white power ideology.

The council has stated that Mr. Roof, 21, who is known to espouse white supremacist ideology, is not a member and that the organization had no contact with him. “The Council unequivocally condemns Roof’s murderous actions,” a statement on its website reads, and it “is hardly responsible for the actions of this deranged individual merely because he gleaned accurate information from our website.”

The website — its home page is a collection of links, often to accounts of crimes against whites by blacks — stands in contrast to the group’s depiction of itself as a more genteel guardian of the true right, “a standard conservatism that dates back to the Taft era,” said the group’s spokesman, Jared Taylor.

White rule and opposition to an increase in minority populations are the headline tenets of the council’s statement of principles. “Just go to South Central L.A., Brownsville, Texas, or Detroit,” Mr. Taylor, 63, said in an interview Monday. “The whole fabric of life changes if whites are displaced by, say, blacks or Asians or Hispanics.”

But the group also endorses causes dear to the far right for decades, including abandoning membership in the United Nations, maintaining the United States as a “Christian country,” denouncing homosexuality and opposing sex education, multiculturalism and property taxes.

In a conservative Southern heartland already roiled by federal intervention on civil-rights issues, the council early on was seen less as an outlier than a defender of states’ — and whites’ — rights. The support could cross party lines: In the late 1990s, one council member boasted that 34 members of the Mississippi Legislature, mostly Democratic, were council members as well.

In a 2010 interview with the conservative journal The Weekly Standard, Mr. Barbour cast the accusations of racism against the group as an exaggeration.

The white supremacist group that Dylaan Roof cited in his manifesto has been making political contributions to republicans for years and the money has been gladly accepted. Suddenly, the dirtbag republicans who accepted these contributions without question are running for cover....fucking shameful....Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum, Gregg Abbott....all took money from the Council of Conservative Citizens, a white supremacist group that Roof cited with approval in his manifesto before he massacred nine African-americans after praying with them in their church. We're not talking a couple of bucks here either....$65,000.00 in total. I am wondering when the photos of Ealr Holt III, the head of the group, with Teddy Cruz and Gregg Abbott will start surfacing. Oh my.....

And, now, even the GOP is calling for removal of the confederate battle flag from government buildings. Your little RWW pointy heads must be exploding about now.... Originally Posted by timpage

Anyone they offer it to. There isn't a politician in the mix today that will turn it down.

That is even more cynical than I am. I am sure they will all take $ from organizations that are "unknowns", but I would hope many would reject funds from know sick groups.

Until people in each party start standing up to the extremists in their own party nothing will change.

Never a rebuttal. Just equivocation.

That's why you boys sound like a bunch of howler monkeys.

You just scream, cry and whine, linking to the most twisted minds the Internet has to offer to back up your outlandish, hateful point of view.

Why not just call a spade a spade. CCC (or is it KKK) is an evil hate group, and Republican candidates -- particularly Tea Party panderers -- routinely take money from them.
