White supremacist wins Republican nomination for Tennessee congressional seat

In a development that reveals more about the nature of the US Republican Party than countless media handouts from the Bush reelection campaign, a virulent racist and white supremacist has won the party’s nomination as its candidate in the 8th Congressional District of Tennessee.

James L. Hart, a proponent of eugenics who calls for the elimination of racial minorities and the poor through a “war on poverty genes,” won the Republican primary August 6, and will be the party’s candidate in the November election against eight-term incumbent Democrat John Tanner.

The 8th District encompasses the largely rural northwestern corner of the state, bordering on Arkansas, Missouri and Kentucky. It stretches from the suburbs of Memphis to the suburbs of Nashville. Its largest population centers are small cities like Jackson and Union City.

Congressman Tanner is a co-founder of the conservative Democratic “Blue Dog” caucus, which has worked closely with the Bush administration. He is one of the congressmen approached by Michael Moore in his film Fahrenheit 9/11 and asked to sign up his children for the war in Iraq.
