Twelve Bigoted Taunts Peddled by Romney Camp and Allies

Corporate media largely ignored the subtext of Romney's earliest race-coded comments, and have been content to let more recent and blatant examples die after a day in the news cycle.

Adele M. Stan has the story.

Racism in the Fox Valley

A police officer from Fond du Lac told me last year those distributing racist fliers are "cowards" who never show their faces because they are afraid to stand behind their anonymous words.

Two Wisconsin colleges in the Fox Valley are looking for the idiots who distributed racist fliers on their campuses yesterday. They can check the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) Hate Map that shows eight racist groups operating in Wisconsin, likely some of the same white supremacist groups operating in the Fox Valley that hit UW-Oshkosh and St. Norbert College (De Pere).

And likely they're the same geniuses who left anti-Obama, racist fliers around Fond du Lac in 2008, and dropped white pride lit on car windows at a Latino pride gathering at the Fond du Lac Public Library last January.

Quit hiding, show your faces.

SPLC: Extremist/Racist Threat to Obama

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is expressing concern over a rise of hate activity that they link to the presidency of Barack Obama.

Writes the SPLC: "President Obama's election and the deepening economic crisis are creating the perfect storm for white supremacists intent on swelling their ranks."

Also reported by the SPLC:

Racist Extremists in the Military
SPLC urges enforcement of zero-tolerance policy
A recent search of a U.S. Marine's barracks turned up a journal containing white supremacist material and a plan to kill President Obama. The incident is the latest disturbing account that suggests extremists are infiltrating the military — even as officials deny there's a problem. SPLC President Richard Cohen recently urged the Department of Defense to uphold a zero-tolerance policy against white supremacist activity.
