In Illinois the Republicans will have an actual holocaust denier running for a state congressional seat.

Arthur Jones — an outspoken Holocaust denier, activist anti-Semite and white supremacist — is poised to become the Republican nominee for an Illinois congressional seat representing parts of Chicago and nearby suburbs. 

“Well first of all, I’m running for Congress not the chancellor of Germany. All right. To me the Holocaust is what I said it is: It’s an international extortion racket,” Jones told the Chicago Sun-Times. 

Indeed, Jones’ website for his latest congressional run includes a section titled “The ‘Holocaust Racket’” where he calls the genocide carried out by the German Nazi regime and collaborators in other nations “the biggest blackest lie in history.”

Jones is running unopposed in the primary, which means he will certainly be the nominee. 

But let's face it, even if he did have an opponent he could still emerge victorious.

After all this IS the age of Donald Trump, where white supremacists no longer have to hide in the shadows.

    If there is anything good that surrounds the stench of dung coming from the piles of Trump files thrown at our house. It is this. We know who they are now. Starting with trump, we know who he is now. We know who the alt right are. The nationalist, the kkk, the supremacy, the bigots, the racist and con artist. We know how they feel and what motivates them. And we know what to do with them and how to counter their hate.

    ""White House counselor Kellyanne Conway has taken control of the opioids agenda, quietly freezing out drug policy professionals and relying instead on political staff to address a lethal crisis claiming about 175 lives a day. The main response so far has been to call for a border wall and to promise a "just say no” campaign."

    " He called it the “battle between our demons and angels for the soul of the United States.”'“This is the opposite of leadership, it is demagoguery,” Excerpt FB>"the immigration debate isn’t only about policy and economics; it is also about culture, race, and religion. We are at a particularly ugly juncture in this regard, but we have been here before. In the early days of the republic, the country needed settlers, so nearly anyone could immigrate. Then, as the United States started to grow and be seen as a land of opportunity, a big wave of immigration began in the decades before the Civil War. Most were from Northern and Central Europe, and many were Catholics — particularly from Germany and Ireland. This sparked a fierce backlash and the rise of the American Party, nicknamed the Know-Nothing Party. Its ranks were driven largely by anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic sentiments. The ugly echoes of their intolerance can be heard today, and it is ironic that some who question the “Americanness” of more recent arrivals are themselves descendants of those who were labeled “un-American” in the nineteenth century..."
    " when I reported from distant and dangerous military outposts in Iraq and Afghanistan, I saw a great diversity of surnames stitched into uniforms — and the pride of service in diverse faces. It was renewed proof that we are a nation of immigrants who believe in service. I have had a similar experience reading the names etched into marble in Arlington National Cemetery. Patriotism and sacrifice know no ethnicity, race, or religion. And it has always been thus." " I believe that demonizing the most recent arrivals to our shores will only, over time, galvanize the political will of the majority of Americans who understand the true legacy of our history.
    When I walk around this great land, in small towns and big cities, bus stations and airports, baseball stadiums and art museums, I see an America that has expanded beyond the wildest dreams of its founders. We are a people of energy and purpose, a blended land of ever-increasing diversity that so far has proven the strength and wisdom of our great experiment. We must find a way to defeat the forces of intolerance. If we do, we will emerge a better, stronger nation."" Dan the Man Rather

    the African Americans had a hell of a time getting into service in both world wars. white men didn't want to serve with them. and with the second world war, Asians and Native Americans. even the code talkers had a hell of a time. and trump had two of the remaining code talkers to the White House and was insulting. with out the code talkers we might just have lost in the Pacific. you see, people didn't understand then that all people brought their own unique talents and strength where ever they go.

    "It is valid and important to rate articles and statements for truthfulness. But it is apparent that sentences can vary in quality in other ways. One way, which I discussed in my previous post (The Chart, Second Edition: What makes a News Source ‘Good’) is on what I call an “Expression” scale of fact-to-opinion. The Expression scale I use goes like this:

    (Presented as) Fact
    (Presented as) Fact/Analysis (or persuasively-worded fact)
    (Presented as) Analysis (well-supported by fact, reasonable)
    (Presented as) Analysis/Opinion (somewhat supported by fact)
    (Presented as) Opinion (unsupported by facts or by highly disputed facts)
    In ranking stories and sentences, I believe it is important to distinguish between fact, analysis, and opinion, and to value fact-reporting as more essential to news than either analysis or opinion. Opinion isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s important to distinguish that it is not news, which is why I rank it lower on the chart than analysis or fact reporting."

  10. Sounds like the Republicans are basically giving up on that seat as whoever runs against him is going to win. Why bother putting any money into an opposing candidate in the primaries? Just let the Democrats have the seat and spend their money defeating this Nazi.
