Fox News host tried to white supremacist group, anti-King site

http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Fox_News_host_tried_to_white_1223.html

As yesterday's revelation that a Fox network television affiliate promoted a white supremacist organization leads to greater scrutiny of the group, it has emerged that a Fox News host is also tied to the same organization. While perusing another site hosted by Stormfront.org, blogger IntoxiNation discovered material written by Fox News radio and television host Tony Snow. Snow, then a columnist for Detroit News, wrote a piece slamming Kwanzaa, which is currently hosted by a website dedicated to discrediting Martin Luther King, Jr. The site, MartinLutherKing.org, at times attempts to mimic one devoted to promoting King's work. However, when one clicks on the link titled, "Death of the Dream: The day King was shot" they will come across this:

Pillar of Fire: America in the King Years, 1963-65. (book reviews) Jon Meacham 01/19/98 Newsweek, Page 62 January 6, 1964, was a long day for Martin Luther King Jr. He spent the morning seated in the reserved section of the Supreme Court, listening as lawyers argued New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, a landmark case rising out of King's crusade against segregation in Alabama. The minister was something of an honored guest: Justice Arthur Goldberg quietly sent down a copy of Kings account of the Montgomery bus boycott, "Stride Toward Freedom," asking for an autograph. That night King retired to his room at the Willard Hotel. There FBI bugs reportedly picked up 14 hours of party chatter, the clinking of glasses and the sounds of illicit sex--including King's cries of "I'm f--ing for God" and "I'm not a Negro tonight!" Note: What is not mentioned in this article is that Martin Luther King was having sex with three White women, one of whom he brutally beat while screaming the above mentioned quotes. Much of the public information on King's use of church money to hire prostitutes and his beating them came from King's close personal friend, Rev. Ralph Abernathy (pictured above), in his 1989 book, "And the walls came tumbling down."

Other portions of the site tie King's efforts to communism, and equate the civil rights movement as a whole with support for Israel, presented in an arguably anti-semitic context by author and famed Klansman David Duke. Snow's dissection of Kwanzaa takes a strange turn, focusing eventually on war crimes in an attempt to argue that African-Americans should not celebrate their cultural heritage:

Go to Kenya, where I taught briefly as a young man, and you'll see endless hostility between Kikuyu, Luo, Luhya and Masai. Even South African politics these days have more to do with tribal animosities than ideological differences. Moreover, chaos too often prevails over order. Warlords hold sway in Somalia, Eritrea, Liberia and Zaire. Genocidal maniacs have wiped out millions in Rwanda, Uganda and Ethiopia. The once-shining hopes for Kenya have vanished. Detroit native Keith Richburg writes in his extraordinary book, "Out of America: A Black Man Confronts Africa," that "this strange place defies even the staunchest of optimists; it drains you of hope ..." Richburg, who served for three years as the African bureau chief for The Washington Post, offers a challenge for the likes of Karenga: "Talk to me about Africa and my black roots and my kinship with my African brothers and I'll throw it back in your face, and then I'll rub your nose in the images of rotting flesh."

1. Tony Snow, Stormfront contributer

I knew he was a Nazi bastard from watching him on FNC on the weekends.

[tcfrogs]

2. Is he paying for the site to host that particular column?

Lots of blogs & sites have links to newspaper columns. Doesn't mean he approved it or is involved with the site.

Just sayin'.

[blogslut]

3. kicksies

:kick:

[BuyingThyme]

4. Fox News employee, Ronald Reagan fan, and bigot?

It just doesn't make sense.

Hey Raw Story: Proof read the article. Start with the title line.

[NWHarkness]

5. I'm no fan of Snows, but....

If they have merely reprinted a column he wrote for the Detroit News, that no more makes him a contributor to their site than our quoting one of Bush's speechs makes him a DUer.

[danalytical]

10. I'm with you on this

I didn't see where Snow actually wrote anything that was racist. A link to a site that has a racist column somewhere on it doesn't make Snow a racist. Writing the content or hosting with direct knowledge would. He might not even know it's there, the site was probably linked by the web administrator, and not Snow. Heck maybe it was linked for another different non racist article and the administrator didn't even know there was racist content there. I just don't really see this as proof of anything. I hate Faux news as much as the next guy, but I I don't like character assassination without merit either. Just saying, this doesn't seem very solid to me.

11. Here here

See post #2 above.

Plenty of reason to dislike Snow without making up fake charges.

[jonnyblitz]

12. yup. as much as I despise wingnuts this seems to be a stretch.

I seriously doubt Tony Snow endorses neo-nazi philosophy.

[YOY]

16. Bingo

Save the pretzel logic and fake connections for the freeps.

6. I think it's on their job application form.........

you must check the following boxes, "Republican", "Bigot", "Misogynist", "Toady" and "Idiot" in order to even be considered for employment at FUX News.
This just adds another "plus" for Snow as far as FUX viewers go. They watch FUX for those exact reasons, they're "just like them". Evil, stupid fucks, one and all. :grr:

7. A kick and a link.... I hope tony boy didn't hang with these types....

Bizarre Sex Habits of The Extreme Right-Wing
Last night, anti-abortion extremist Neal Horsley was a guest on The Alan Colmes Show, a FOX News radio program. The topic was an interesting one - whether or not an internet service provider should allow Horsley to post the names of abortion doctors on his website. Horsley does that as a way of targeting them and one doctor has been killed. In the course of the interview, however, Colmes asked Horsley about his background, including a statement that he had admitted to engaging in homosexual and bestiality sex.

At first, Horsley laughed and said, "Just because it's printed in the media, people jump to believe it."

"Is it true?" Colmes asked.

"Hey, Alan, if you want to accuse me of having sex when I was a fool, I did everything that crossed my mind that looked like I..."

AC: "You had sex with animals?"

NH: "Absolutely. I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule."

AC: "I'm not so sure that that is so."

NH: "You didn't grow up on a farm in Georgia, did you?"

AC: "Are you suggesting that everybody who grows up on a farm in Georgia has a mule as a girlfriend?"

NH: It has historically been the case. You people are so far removed from the reality... Welcome to domestic life on the farm..."

Colmes said he thought there were a lot of people in the audience who grew up on farms, are living on farms now, raising kids on farms and "and I don't think they are dating Elsie right now. You know what I'm saying?"

8. Let's see how Tony talks his way

out of this one....

[Jane Austin]

9. What am I missing? That article looks like it's written by John Meacham,

and that doesn't make any sense to me.

Can someone clarify who said what and when and where?

Thanks.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

13. I believe the first excerpt is from Meacham, the second from Snow.

The Raw Story piece is put together in a manner that can easily be confusing...not their best work by a long shot.

It seems to me that the Meacham excerpt is used to illustrate the tone of the site, which...quote..."at times attempts to mimic one devoted to promoting King's work." THEN they give you the Snow Kwanzaa excerpt.

:patriot:

[Jane Austin]

14. So John Meacham of Newsweek is asserting that King beat up this woman

while having sex with her?

If Meacham didn't say this, I'd think he'd have an issue with Raw Story about making it look like he did say it.

FWIW, I've always had 99th percentile reading comprehension, yet this is impossible for me to understand.

I swear I can't tell what is from the DU poster, what from Raw Story, what from Tony Snow, and what from John Meacham.

Can you?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

15. Well, I'm the DU poster...

...and I didn't add anything to the original post. It's all from Raw Story.

I set off the excerpts so they would stand out, as they appear as indented paragraphs on Raw Story.

But it's a badly assembled piece, not clear at all.

But Meacham DID write it, as you can see if you go to the link provided by Raw:

17. mlk was not for womens rights that is for sure

he was for the black male rights. he has been quoted pertaining to women and they are very old fashion view of female role. i can still, and do still respect the man for what he did for the black populace.

now this is not in argument from the op, just a statement to the women in mlk's life.

18. Most Republicans aren't racists...

...But most Racists are Republicans.
