Here's another doozy.
New York's 18th District Democratic Incumbent Nita Lowey's Republican opponent, Jim Russell, wrote an essay (
PDF) for The Occidental Quarterly (a far right newsletter most consider to be extremely white supremacist in nature) in 2001, that among other things makes these statements:
Quote:
“(T.S.) Eliot described some conditions for an optimal society: ‘The population should be homogeneous. . . . What is still more important is unity of religious background; and reasons of race and culture combine to make any large number of free-thinking Jews undesirable."
Quote:
"The importance of applying eugenic measures in the West becomes evident from Richard Lynn’s recent work on Dysgenics and his just-released seminal work Eugenics: A Reassessment."
Quote:
“While liberals and universalists constantly yammer about “bringing us all together”, and how “diversity is our strength,” it may be suggested that the biological function of human language and culture is just the opposite, that is, to keep discrete groups apart.”
Wait... it gets better.
Quote:
One wonders how a child’s sexual imprinting mechanism is affected by forcible racial integration and near continual exposure to media stimuli promoting interracial contact. The most serious implication of human sexual imprinting for our genetic future is that it would establish the destructiveness of school integration, especially in the middle and high-school years. One can only wonder to what degree the advocates of school integration, such as former NAACP attorney Jack Greenberg, were conscious of this scientific concept. It also compounds the culpability of media moguls who deliberately popularize miscegenation in films directed toward adolescents and pre-adolescents. In the midst of this onslaught against our youth, parents need to be reminded that they have a natural obligation, as essential as providing food and shelter, to instill in their children an acceptance of appropriate ethnic boundaries for socialization and for marriage.
I'm waiting for Nick to come in and explain why this candidate is not, in fact, racist, and is the best candidate for the district.
Edit: I didn't notice that this was my 10,000th post.
Edit#2 - Soon after this story broke, the Occidental Quarterly took down the essay in question from its website archive, presumably to hide the truth about this candidate. Fortunately, I had kept a copy, and I have provided a new link.
