Republicans in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania have elected Steve Smith, a lifelong white supremacist with close ties to neo-Nazi groups and groups like Aryan Nations, to the county’s GOP Committee.
...

In March 2003, he and two other KSS members were arrested in Scranton for beating up Antoni Williams, a black man, using stones and chunks of pavement. Smith pleaded guilty to terrorist threats and ethnic intimidation and received a 60-day sentence and probation.

Smith is also an active member of local Tea Party groups, a network that he used to gain support for his bid for the committee seat. According to the SPLC, Smith referred to the Tea Party as “fertile grounds for our activists.”

Naturally.

Lots of weird disappearances today.

Go ahead and gloat over the win for your team. Most Americans still reject your values.

[Mitchum]

Leave it to good ol' Pennsyltucky.

[Number Six]

I hate Pennsylvania nazis....

[LarryN]

More proof that everyone on the right is a white supremacist neo-Nazi.

[Calamari]

If you say so.

[Number Six]

If you say so.

Aren't you a republican?

[Calamari]

If you say so.

[Number Six]

If you say so.

You're the one who has said it in this forum. Have you changed party affiliation in the last 12 months?

[Calamari]

What are you upset about now?

What is it that you think I said?

I'm not upset about anything.

Just trying to get you to either state that you are a republican to be tarred by your own brush or finally admit that you are not a republican.

[Calamari]

What brush is that?

When they buried Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), did they first wrap him in white sheets?

[Calamari]

Still crying about "The One that Got Away," eh?

[Number Six]

What brush is that?

Squirm baby, squirm....

[Calamari]

Sorry your attack failed, you seemed to be really into it.

Any thoughts on the topic now that's over?

Sure thing. And one of those pillow cases with eye holes in it.

This really is quite telling and should be a matter of concern to all Republicans rather than be used as a vehicle to attack someone for reporting or posting about it. There should be a loud outcry because this isn't history from the last century when many Dixiecrats switched parties. This is news today.

Ignoring the situation will not make it go away. It will only encourage more such alliances. This should be disturbing to all, but especially to all Republicans.

I won't hold my breath waiting for it, but yes.
