(Jewish Group) Former Senate candidate will run for city council in Idaho to 'challenge Jewish power

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Patrick Little, a known white supremacist who espouses anti-Semitic views, is lowering his sights after running for the U.S. Senate and flirting with a 2020 presidential candidacy.

Little is running for a City Council seat in Garden City, Idaho, a Boise suburb. He filed his candidacy form and will run as a Republican, Little told the Idaho Press.

“The only way to challenge Jewish power in this country now is with local elections because it would have to be word of mouth,” he said Tuesday.

Little told the newspaper that the “top priority” of the Jewish people is to displace white people specifically, and that he believes Jews control the media, the entertainment industry and politics.

He had a brief run for the presidency as a “Nationally Social Democratic American Patriot Republican,” according to his campaign’s webpage. His platform included a plan to require the death penalty for any politician introducing a bill to provide aid to Israel and to introduce “a bill in the Senate making it illegal to raise funds for any foundation related to the perpetuating of propaganda related to a ‘holocaust,’ formally making the U.S.’s stance on ‘the holocaust’ that it is a ‘Jewish war atrocity propaganda hoax that never happened.’”

Who knows, maybe he will get some cross over votes for certain policies.

publicizing extreme r.w. and anti-semitic behavior that exists in abundance on DU exists also in the larger world. Or are we here some kind of political elite who are uniquely able to read such things without being tainted by them, unlike those that frequent mass media?

Of course, my sub text is that there’s entirely too much r.w. trivia being given print exposure on DU. Or at least, more than I want to read. Whether something is true or not, mere repetition has been found to lend credence.

However, as the OP, I post things like this because we, as Jews (and our few and far between allies) should know what is out there in the real world. Too often, IMO, anti-Semitism is minimized or outright ignored, while other forms of bigotry are roundly criticized and poured over ad nauseum.

I do agree (I think) with you in regards to RW'ers in the news. Why the fuck do "news" sources keep quoting (or bringing on) people like Scaramouche?! Right now, there are people fawning all over the words of Rex Tillerson...wtf?! There is also an article about the Canadian PM supposedly wearing "blackface", yet, even in the article, NO ONE on record can confirm it is him, yet, the knives are drawn. The source? Who the fuck knows?! Frankly, with all the RW influence, I am afraid our side sometimes is just as prone to "fake news", and even spread it. I try my best to make sure things I post, even if unseemly, are factual or at least have some semblance of truth, even if murky, at the time of posting.
