If anyone was still in any doubt that the US Republican Party is still moving further to the right, then the candidacy of Shawn Stuart to the Montana State Legislature should get you thinking. As the Missuola Independent reports:
Shawn Stuart is no ordinary Republican. The 24-year-old combat veteran, the only Republican running to represent Butte’s House District 76 in the Montana Legislature, also happens to be a state leader for the National Socialist Movement, which dubs itself “America’s Nazi Party.
It’s true that the Montana Republicans, when they found out, sought to disown Stuart, but they didn’t removed him from the ballot and he still stands as the official Republican candidate.
Stuart says he shared his ardently anti-abortion, anti-gay and pro-gun views with Republican representatives in Butte, but that he didn’t see the need to tell them about his involvement with a group that’s also virulently anti-Semitic and envisions an America where only white people can be citizens and members of all other races, as well as Jews and homosexuals, would be classified as aliens without rights. Freedom of religion would be absolute in the National Socialist Movement’s ideal society, the group’s 25-point platform says, provided that the “moral feelings of the White race” aren’t offended.
Their stated misgivings about Stuart and his extreme racist views didn’t stop 33 Republicans yesterday in the House of Representatives from voting against the renewal of the Voting Rights Act which ensures that all people will have fair access to the ballot box on Election Day. And by ‘all people’ we all know who that applies to and it ain’t, on the whole, the Master Race.
Anyone done an ancestry check on this guy. I would so love to know.
@Jeni:
Oh shit! Didn’t think of that…
I find it hard to believe that someone so young can be so rabid. Can I blame the parents?
[...] Anyway you can read his blog and the particular story here [...]
Yes why not blame the parents.It’s a start.
What really makes me laugh is that only about 67% of the population is classified as white anyway and even this group contains North Africans and Middle Easteners. I’m pretty sure Mr. Stuart would not find them desirable either. If we also remove homosexuals from the total it’s fairly clear that ‘non whites’ make up the majority. I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes if he ever gets something resembling real power.
@Jeni:
You may well be right. Donlt forget to include Jews and anyone with religious belief that “upsets the moral feelings of the White race”… they can be white.
