Heritage Expert Contributed Articles On Hispanic Incarceration To ‘Nationalist’ Website

PEMA LEVY 2:40 PM EDT, THURSDAY MAY 9, 2013

The Heritage Foundation's Jason Richwine, who co-authored the think tank's study claiming immigration reform will cost trillions of dollars, contributed two articles to a "nationalist" website about Hispanic incarceration rates, Yahoo News reported Thursday.

-snip-

According to Yahoo News, Richwine wrote two articles on "crime rates among Hispanics in the United States" for the site AlternativeRight.com, a website run by Richard Spencer, "a self-described 'nationalist' who writes frequently about race and against 'the abstract notion of human equality.'"

AlternativeRight.com describes itself as "dedicated to heretical perspectives on society and culture—popular, high, and otherwise—particularly those informed by radical, traditionalist, and nationalist outlooks"...

The website has published several controversial pieces about nationalism and race since Spencer founded it 3 years ago. Spencer is now the chairman of the Montana-based National Policy Institute, an organization that describes itself as a think tank for "White Americans."

I swear sometimes I think the GOP is just a glorified KKK, cleaned up for the sake of appearances. Oh, they'll embrace an Allen West or Alan Keyes, but only as long as they promote the party line, and as long as they provide cover for what is really the same old racism, nationalism, and controlling people in the underclass--good old-fashioned fascism.
