36. His racist grandpa was Lindsay Graham's adviser, strategist, and pollster.

Also, after being forced to withdraw from his school, the kid was arrested for threatening to come back and shoot up the place.

"Richard Quinn has been quoted in the press as South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham's longtime political adviser and his consultant and pollster. But there's another title that Quinn once held: neo-Confederate magazine editor.

From early 1980s until the early 2000s, Quinn's name stood on the masthead as the editor-in-chief of the Southern Partisan, formerly one of the country's leading neo-Confederate magazines (it still exists in a barebones online version). Quinn has tried to distance himself from the magazine in the past (he says he doesn't like the term neo-Confederate), and after being contacted by BuzzFeed News, repudiated his past views and those of the magazine.

It was in his capacity as editor that Quinn wrote that Martin Luther King Jr.'s role in the Civil Rights movement was "to lead his people into a perpetual dependence on the welfare state, a terrible bondage of body and soul." He called Nelson Mandela a "terrorist" and a "bad egg." He wrote positively of David Duke's election: "What better way to reject politics as usual than to elect a maverick like David Duke?" In one column, he called Martin Luther King Day's purpose "vitriolic and profane."....(more)

...."As of this writing, my news outlet has not been provided with any of the “additional videos and text messages” referenced in this law enforcement narrative. They have been described to me, but I have not personally viewed them. Still, the nature of the initial videos – and the fact Mustian was arrested in connection with the alleged threats made against his school – seemed to me to constitute a compelling public safety concern.

Also, the ongoing uncertainty regarding Mustian’s access to firearms contributed to my decision to include his name in this news outlet’s coverage.

Simply put, I believed (and still believe) people had a right to know about a possible threat to public safety.

On this point, the failure of leaders at Cardinal Newman high school to notify parents of this combustible situation until the very last moment – when reporters from The (Columbia, S.C.) Statenewspaper were preparing a report – strikes me as inexcusably negligent on their part.

Furthermore, I am shocked other local media outlets have decided not to identify Mustian given the potential danger he posed (poses?) to his community."....(more)
