Who could imagine that people would come out of the woodwork.

Cockroaches are averse to light. Funny how even the “unprotected” are coming forward. Fear is a highly motivating response it seems.

So the fervent Zionist Sheldon Adelson is throwing millions of his dollars at the campaign of a guy who hires Holocaust deniers who love firing “the Jews.”

The world is a strange place these days.

Strange bedfellows indeed. The VP nominee on the ticket with Jill Stein (herself born into a jewish family) also holds anti-semitic beliefs:

Anti-Semitism. The point on the political continuum where far right meets far left.

What a blast from the past. I had forgotten about his awful daddy.

When I was young, children in the Liberal North were terrified with stories about the dread Orange County Republicans, of whom the archetype was the vampire-like John Schmitz, worst of a bad lot.


Came out of Wisconsin, no doubt an admirer of Tailgunner Joe McCarthy.

The fruit rots not far from the tree.

It gets stranger. This guy’s sister is Mary Kay Schmitz Letourneau Fualuu, the married teacher who seduced a 14 year old student, served time in jail, had several children with him, and finally married him.

Must have been a strange household to grow up in…

What the FUCK is WITH these people?? Doubting the Holocaust in 2015? "Firing “the Jews”? Of course his freaking sister is Mary Kay Latourneau, the child molester! Jesus H. Christ! All Republicans, of COURSE!

Schmitz was notable for his extreme right-wing sympathies. By one measure, he was found to be the third most conservative member of Congress between 1937 and 2002,[1] and the ultra-conservative John Birch Society, of which Schmitz was a longtime leader, later expelled him for extremist rhetoric.[2]

He was too extreme for the fucking Birchers!

I tend to have some medication-induced cognitive issues with understanding complex material (e.g., scientific research documents). So I need to know, are these longer stories like this one convoluted and difficult to follow or is it just my disabled mind that’s the problem? I can’t imagine that this is so complex that it can’t be reported on clearly and concisely, yet I invariably get lost trying to follow these journalists’ trains of thought.

I have the best people…
