New Century Foundation head Jared Taylor said his group raises money for the benefit of the "white race," a mission taxpayers are indirectly supporting with the group's status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The IRS recognized it, the Charles Martel Society, the National Policy Institute and VDare Foundation as charities more than a decade ago.

Samuel Brunson, a tax law professor at Loyola University in Chicago, noted the nonprofit status gives these groups a veneer of legitimacy and respectability.

"It should make people uncomfortable that the government is subsidizing groups that espouse values that are incompatible with most Americans," he said.

I remember several years ago where people were criticizing me for saying VDare was a hate group....

1. Hey! I remember that too!

Lots of other sources too.

It is amazing what one can do under the guise of "religion" in terms of raising money and getting it tax-free. I remember the hoops I had to jump through in order to secure money for the GLBT group at my alma mater. No "public money" (i.e. student fees) could be used for political purposes; so we had to walk a very fine line as to our activities and places we went.

2. yeah

Though I think the fine lines are not going to be as respected in a few cases in the near term..

Sad...
