GOP Representative and “Family” Member Preaches Sedition

Com­ment: While wav­ing the flag with one hand, the GOP has been warn­ing of or openly preach­ing seces­sion. The lat­est GOP lumi­nary to preach sedi­tion is Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Zach Wamp. As we will see in the Salon.com arti­cle below, Wamp is a mem­ber of “The Family”–a con­sum­mately pow­er­ful, fun­da­men­tal­ist Chris­t­ian orga­ni­za­tion with close ties to the [...]

White Supremacists Targeting Tea Party Movement for Infiltration & Possible Takeover

Com­ment: It really shouldn’t come as a great sur­prise, but white suprema­cist ele­ments are tar­get­ing the Tea Party move­ment for infil­tra­tion and co– option.

Nazis Conducting Arizona Border Patrols; Connected to Sponsor of Arizona Immigration Bill

Com­ment: Neo-Nazi J.T. Ready, asso­ciate of Rus­sell Pearce, the spon­sor of Arizona’s recent and highly con­tro­ver­sial immi­gra­tion leg­is­la­tion, is launch­ing a para-military bor­der patrol oper­a­tion.
Note the res­o­nance and polit­i­cal over­lap between this milieu and the GOP’s  Palin/Tea Party types, who use the same anti-immigrant rhetor­i­cal stance.

Another Nazi Link to Arizona Legislature, Authors of Controversial Anti-Imigrant Bill?

Com­ment: It may be that Rus­sell Pearce–spon­sor of the con­tro­ver­sial anti-Immigrant bill passed in Ari­zona–is not the only Ari­zona leg­is­la­tor with a pen­chant for Nazi ide­ol­ogy.

GOP Rhetoric Associating Obama and Tiger Woods

Com­ment: In FTR #702, we touched on the Tiger Woods imbroglio and spec­u­la­tion that psy­cho­log­i­cal asso­ci­a­tion between Woods and Obama–what research psy­chol­o­gists call “stim­u­lus generalization”–may have under­lain that case.
