NC G.O.P. candidate revealed as white supremacist.
Shocked!! Shocked I tell you!!!


""Republican candidate Doug Hanks said Thursday that he will exit the Charlotte City Council race, after his postings on a white supremacist Internet site became public.

In more than 4,000 posts on stormfront.org, Hanks railed against blacks and Jews, touted his instruction book on building a homemade rifle and recruited people to rally against Charlotte's decision to remove the Confederate flag from Elmwood Cemetery....""

8. Yes! Why Exit? He'd Probably Win Anyway
Especially if the person he's running against, even if it was Jesus Christ himself, has a (D) next to his name.

Now they can run a guy who keeps his racist, homophobic, mysogonist views a secret.

9. He's probably right in the party mainstream too
Last year a AZ congressional candidate who got the Republican nomination in Raul Grijalva's district was a known racist. He doesn't even try to hide it. He calls Mexicans "Wetbacks" and "Spics" in public. He doesn't even have a platform. If you ask him about education he talks about keeping Mexicans out of our country. What's his opinion on the war? That we need to close the border so Mexicans can't come in our country. How about Social security? We need to keep Mexicans out of our country. You get the picture, I'm sure. He handily won his primary too. Got stomped in the GE though, he was so bad the Republican party was embarrassed and refused to endorse him.

He didn't wear his "big tent smiley face" mask while speaking the correct code.

15. I love this line from his web page:
What a concept! A politician who will actually represent the people!

1. Representing the voice and wishes of the public in crucial issues, such as the Arena and Light Rail, and more recently the immoral display of lewd conduct under the guise of "art." There was a time when our politicians represented the people, and I would like to return those values to Charlotte. If the public votes on an issue and it comes before me, I will vote the way the majority of the people voted, their voice, even if I disagree. I will vote for your best interests, not those of a few businesses!


Okay so maybe he really means represent his people....

These new facist up-and-comers are going to get easier and easier to spot thanks to the internet. They can't hide like they use to.
