Avowed Neo-Nazi from Charlottesville is running for Senate in Florida

Your sentence is wholly incorrect.

We had a FORMER KKK grand dragon in the Senate. He gave that up and apologized profusely for it for 40 years thereafter. This important point you somehow missed..... ignorance, perhaps?

 

Oh, he was there and was fully outed by a twitter vigilante who used photographic identification software to tab him.
But he himself says on his website that he was there.
He is also seen many times in the 20 minute HBO video that was produced.
He also allegedly beat up some people, so I suspect police warrants for his arrest may be in the coming, but that is their thing, I will leave that up to them.

He only ran for the Libertarian nomination in 2016 because Republicans in Florida them their thumbs on him and didn't allow it. I am curious to see how they will respond this time.

I am in no way saying that all Republicans are nazis. In fact, I would say that most all of them are definitely not. Most are patriotic Americans, like the rest of us. But the fact that he was so emboldend to do this is in and of itself more than brash. Were I an upper-up in the FL-GOP, I would be calling the SOB out right now, before the disease can fester.

 

Yeah

Yeah ok. He's either a **** libertarian or a **** fascist. I was just trying to figure out which.

 

Or a Republican maybe?

 

That's possible, there have been plenty of horrible Republican candidates over the years.

 

KKK Dixiecrat racist Hilary Clinton would secretly be his campaign manager if he makes the ballot - but he won't. So this is just nothing.

 

He is definitely, by self-definition, a nazi.
BTW, Richard Spencer also had connections to more than one Ron Paul campaign.

 

This makes absolutely no sense at all. Hillary was never, ever a Dixiecrat. Why in the world would you ever spread such an easily verifiable lie?

 

Hmmm, let's think. Arkansas was her home for decades, ie Dixie. She took the positive with her husband that black criminals are a special type of criminal deserving significantly longer prison terms. She declared her mentor in life was a KKK Grand Dragon, which she would never disavow. She was endorsed by the KKK - and never disavowed that endorsement either.
That's what a Dixiecrat is, a Southern Democrat who tacitly seeks Confederate white and white supremacist votes.

 

That post you responded to was just more ludicrous (unworthy of being taken seriously) RW hyperbole (symptomatic of those still suffering from Clinton Derangement Syndrome).

But, it is a tragedy for The Republic that Trump enjoys the widespread support of about 100% of the KKK and Nazis.

Oh, breaking news, BANNON IS OUT.

 

Austin Gillespie is his real name and I don't know if it's legal to run for public office under a fictitious name, which he uses as the publisher of a right-wing publication with the stated aim of "restoring the American republic and defending Western Civilization." I don't understand their fascination with Latinized names and Gillespie is a much better surname of Scottish origin.

 

So what?

Until the Democrats take down all Robert Byrd statues and rename all buildings and schools named after Byrd, they should shut up about racism.

Don't get it? Maybe this will help - Senator Robert Byrd (D), Congressman from 1952 to 2010, Senate Majority Leader, President Pro Tempore Emeritus, is better known to his homies as the founder of the Sophia Chapter of the KKK, and the Exalted Cyclops.

 

So what? Who wants a nazi elected to the Senate. Do you? Byrd should be removed from his post, and we don't need any more of them.

 

Oh gee, what compassion is shown to a grand dragon who gives a fake apology. You really crack me up. Wanna bet if he was a Republican you guys would have pounded him into the ground?

 

On what basis do you say that Byrd's apology was fake? His story is well-known, over many, many years.
I didn't write about compassion or lack thereof. I stated that he completely changed his ways and profusely apologized for what he did over roughly 40 years. I would say it's hard to keep "fake" up for 40 years.

And what is this with "you guys"? I am one individual here, not a bunch of "you guys"....

 

Ahm, Byrd died a number of years back....

 

Oh well.

 

Byrd is dead, he died in 2010 at the age of 92, still serving in the Senate as a Democrat. To this day the Democrats revere him.

"progressives" can revere and support a man who was actually in the KKK, who expanded the KKK, and who held high positions in the KKK (I wonder, what do you have to do in the KKK to get those positions? How many black people did he have to burn, hang, rape, to get to the top of the KKK?).

And those same "progressives" will falsely call someone else a racist, homophobe, neo-Nazi, or "white supremacist", in order to advance the proggie agenda.

The hypocrisy is so blatantly obvious that the entire prog strategy of ad hominen attacks is falling apart. That's why the progs have resorted to open violence (they were always violent, just behind the scenes until last year).

 

I'm sure that you base this opinion on the fact that David Duke ran for gov 4x.

 

What are you trying to say with that statement? That doesn't make much sense, unless of course you are trying to go the equivalency route.

 

Put simply, the GOP gets a racist kook run every couple years and he loses soundly.


Some thing I meant to put in earlier. If I was asked by someone for a signature for them to run for office I would sign it. I don't care what their politics are for that purpose.

 

True about Byrd, even though he had supposedly transformed, but a tiger doesn't change his stripes. There is hypocrisy on
both sides.

 

Human beings are not tigers. They are human beings.

 

Oh, that happens sometimes on the D side too, and I suspected that that is what you meant. You will be surprised to learn that I am really willing to listen to differing points of opinion.

But in this case, directly after a nazi-march Charlottesville, this announcement is especially crass.

I agree with you entirely that this kook doesn't have a rat's chance in hell of actually winning. But that's not the point. The point that a nazi is running for the FL-Senate Class 1 seat is the reason for this thread.

 

Wrong. Totally wrong.

The hypocrisy is hugely one sided.

How many blacks did Democrat Byrd personally or through his KKK leadership cause to be burned, terrorized, beaten, raped, or killed?
Antifa and BLM and Democrat activists will falsely call conservatives white supremacist and fascist in order to burn, terrorize, beat, and kill.
To progs, those activities are all acceptable.

Why? To progs the ends justify the means. Byrd was a powerful man and advanced the prog agenda, so his "mistakes" are easily forgiven. The violence including murder by antifa and BLM are excused because the victims are opponents of the prog agenda.

Has the Republican party, Tea Party, libertarians, conservatives, ever engaged in the kind of violent activity regularly executed by the "progressives"? Have the Republican party, Tea Party, libertarians, conservatives, engaged in any organizational violence? No.
