Neo-Nazi Senate hopeful must be heard, foes say

[cali]

A write-in candidate from Northern Kentucky who is running for the U.S. Senate is a neo-Nazi who once belonged to an organization whose founder inspired Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.

Robert Edward Ransdell has made news in recent days with signs he has posted in Northern Kentucky and Lexington that say "With Jews We Lose" and when he was ushered offstage on Wednesday after espousing his anti-Jewish rhetoric during an event at the University of Kentucky.

Now, he plans to begin running commercials on a mainstream talk radio station in Cincinnati, according to a white supremacist website where he posted that federal communication laws ensure that the radio station will air his ad.

On Wednesday, he was invited to speak at a Constitution Week event at the University of Kentucky, which was designed to celebrate the signing of the U.S. Constitution.

After he espoused his anti-Jewish views and said that he was "the white people's candidate," he was asked to stop talking. When he refused, his microphone was cut off, said Al Cross, a columnist for The Courier-Journal and the director of the Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues at UK.

OK, I get that hateful nuts run for office and are all to common threads in our society, but why the fuck was this cretin invited to speak at the UK for Constitution week?

1. Again with the Jews aren't white people.

I always find that interesting, especially given some of the other bigoted shit thrown our way. I wonder if he will be as popular as that asshole in Missouri?
