Here is the eighth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today\u2019s honoree is activist Robert Whittaker, for demonstrating what Republicans consider tolerance, but we call racism.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"4Whittaker\"For the past three years, a mysterious figure calling himself Horus the Avenger has operated White Rabbit Radio, an online community of racists dedicated to spreading a message called the \u201cMantra\u201d far and wide.<\/p>\n

Written by a curmudgeonly segregationist with a history of drug abuse named Robert Whitaker, the 221-word Mantra is an attack on multiculturalism. \u201cAnti-racist is code word for anti-white,\u201d the Mantra reads in part…<\/p>\n

…A far-right propagandist for more than a half-century, the former economics professor and Reagan appointee to the Office of Personnel Management<\/strong> has been linked to radical, often racist, populist campaigns for most of his career. He once claimed to have a swastika poster on his wall when he was young in protest of desegregation. In fact, his advocacy of segregation and racist ideology seems rooted in his opposition to America\u2019s early civil rights struggles. But the bombastic bullet points to his biography go on…<\/p>\n

…In part, it reads: \u201cEverybody says there is this race problem. Everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into every white country and only into white countries. \u2026 Everybody says the final solution to this race problem is for every white country and only white countries to \u2018assimilate,\u2019 i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites. \u2026 But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews [sic].\u201d The Mantra ends with its most often quoted phrase: \u201cThey say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white<\/strong>.\u201d\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now, I have no doubt that Republicans will scream that they are not racist, and that Whittaker is not one of them.  Regarding the former, if they are not racist, they should stop trying to deprive minority voters of their right to vote.  Regarding the latter, of course he is.  He was appointed to public office by A demi-god highly placed in the Republican canon: Saint Ronnie Ray Gun!  It\u2019s hard to get more Republican!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
