If the shoe fits…

What is “absurd” about reporting that he spoke to the group? Projection much?

Asked if Kobach’s office gave McAlpin the phone number for TPM, he responded: “Yeah well we became aware of the story — he wanted to make us aware of the story, that there was this attack from the SPLC.”

Wait - so Kobach is directing a white supremacist to do clean up PR for him?

Of course, Mr. KKK does not respond because he is a coward.

If they think the SPLC “smeared” them, they should sue them for defamation. Go ahead, guys. I dare you. I breach protocol and triple dog dare you.

If you feel the need to defend Kobach speaking at your event…

YEP! My first thought was, ‘so a white nationalist group takes orders from Kobach directly’.

To prove the conference wasn’t “racist,” McAlpin pointed out that a
black woman took a photo of Kobach speaking at the conference that had
been posted to Twitter and later used in the reports. He stressed that
there were also two Hispanic presenters at the conference in addition to
“several” black, Hispanic and Asian attendees.

Some of his best friends are “Blah” people.

Completely understandable. Mr. McAlpin wanted to check with his friend and ally, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. That way they could coordinate their response to the media. It’s important for elected officials to get their story straight with outside groups, especially white nationalist groups. Otherwise, somebody might get confused.

He made it his policy not to respond to these because they’re such absurd charges. I can understand and respect that.

So, Kobach doesn’t want to respond to these allegations himself, so his fallback is having the publisher of a white nationalist rag respond for him.

These guys are racist pricks that just can’t admit it. They are not superior in any way other than the amount of hate that they have buried inside of them.

Haters in a group, are a hate group. EZ PEEZY lemon squeezy!

this nutjob is probably the woman who took the photo:

Now watch as the “Defender of Justice” Kobach starts his voter roll purges before the next election…and the voting machines need to be replaced…that is the Koch Agenda…this is the America that the Koch boys are trying to force on the rest of us…

The Social Contract magazine, the most overtly white nationalist organ of John Tanton’s network of anti-immigrant organizations, so outdid itself with its fall 2010 edition calling for a ban on Muslim immigration that even some of its readership reacted with distaste.
The 68-page volume was packed with anti-Islamic rhetoric and featured contributions from Muslim-bashers like Stop Islamization of America founder Pam Geller; right-wing attack dog Ann Coulter, who once called Islam a “car-burning cult,” and Stella Paul, who writes about Islam for the far-right magazine American Thinker, where she recently described President Obama as “rapper-in-chief.” It closed with an essay by K.C. McAlpin, who described Islam as a “hostile, intolerant, and totalitarian ideology masquerading as a religion” that “needs to be quarantined in the failed states it has already infected.”
On Feb. 2, McAlpin posted on The Social Contract’s website a reply essay addressed to “thoughtful observers” who criticized the proposal to bar Muslims from immigrating to the U.S. “A ban on Muslim immigration is … a practical and necessary way to defend ourselves against the growing threat of homegrown terrorism the U.S. faces in the 21st Century,” he wrote.

**Yeah, Kobach needs to convey to the citizens of Kansas that Social Contract Press is just misunderstood and the victim of a liberal smear campaign.**

Social Contract???

Well, people can convince themselves of anything…literally anything.

Abortion equals slavery
Hitler was a good guy
Aliens created humans to mine gold (I’m not making this one up)
Or slavery was a choice and all was hunky dory on the plantation

When I think about it I am more and more amazed we survived as a species.
