Talk about your flashbacks. Former Klansman and federal convict David Duke has come to the aid of the racist son of Former Grand Dragon Don Black in his bid to be seated on the Palm Beach Republican Executive Committee.
Nothing say "Florida GOP" like having the vile offspring of white supremacists sitting in positions of authority.
Do not be fooled by claims that Black's son is not a racist. He uses the usual code words spouted by these reactionary thugs, "I would describe myself as a white person who is concerned about discrimination against white people."
Those who declared Obama's election the end of racism in America need to step back and take a look at how the racist right is preparing to react to the latest setback in their campaign to create a Christian Nation.
And while the local GOP officials appear to be horrified by the election of an openly racist Republican their horror is tempered by the fact that the reactionary racist right is a part of their national base.
Nixon's Southern Strategy was not a success without a great cost to those who benefited from it.
Who knows? Perhaps Sarah Palin and her hubby will be the next darlings of David Duke, Don Black and the rest of the GOP's dark underbelly. They certainly agree on many policy issues and in their general method of campaigning.
Ignorance, fear and hate now define the GOP and their hooded supporters.
