Fox Carolina Hearts White Supremacists

We were talking about this last night at Drinking Liberally (which, since you asked, again more than doubled its attendance). Fox Carolina reporter Tami Birckner last month reported on the online superstore of White Pride, Stormfront.org.

The piece was fluffy and puffy, it intimates that the Stormfront gang are just trying to have some free speech and preserve their natural heritage. It doesn't mention that the reporter is a regular participant at the site's forums or that Stormfront advocates white supremacy. In a very brief visit to one of the site's forums I found lots of fascinating conversation in this Foxy free speech zone, including this: "I do not believe anyone that is actually true to our cause can say they are "White Pride"! In the very beginning Yes you were, but in todays world you can not just be proud of being White. That pride is forced into hatred by the mudds. If you take 10 minutes and look at the war we are in trying to save our race, heritage and nation you will hate the enemy. They hate you for just saying you are proud of being White and will do everything in their power to shut you up and take you down."

It’s a web site with everything from dating advice and homemaking threads, to discussion boards that focus on news that white activists want to know. Stormfront.org is a web site founded on the belief that the white race is a dying race.

One member says, “we really are just white folks that deeply care about preserving a future for our progeny.”

There are more than 65,000 members, and since Stormfront started in 1995 there have been more than 2,000,000 posts. Members live in all parts of the world, with close to 3,000 in and around South Carolina.

Bob Whitaker is a former Reagan administration cabinet member and an active member of Stormfront. He believes diversity and equal rights are at the center of a conspiracy against the white race. Whitaker says, “I’m worried about the disappearance of the white race.” Whitaker says too much is being done to diversify America and not enough is being done to protect people like him. “I’m worried about 2 things. I’m worried about the disappearance of the white race and I’m worried about the fact that no one is allowed to talk about the disappearance of the white race, which is even worse.”

But all Americans are provided equal protection under the law, which means equal treatment regardless of race, sex, religion or national origin.

Jamie Kelso is one of Stormfront’s senior moderators. He uses the screen name Charles A. Lindbergh, a well-known aviator who believed in the preservation of the white race. Kelso says, “I admire Charles Lindbergh as someone who throughout his life took pride in the white race and was very concerned about preserving it.”

Even though Stormfront was created by former Ku Klux Klansman Don Black, Kelso says their message isn’t one of hate. “We’re called anti-Semitic, we’re called neo-Nazi, we’re called racist [but] we’re none of that.” Instead, Stormfront members say their message is much more simple. “We don’t hate anybody. The only thing we’re concerned with is that 100 years from now, 500 years from now that there will actually be the kind of white neighborhoods and white nations that our parents and ancestors gave to us.”

Kelso says Stormfront simply provides a safe forum for people to use without fear of retaliation. “Really the political correctness today, you could even call it vicious. On the Internet you can anonymously talk to other people and open up and say what you want to say. This has really opened up a new chance for people to have free speech."

We knew that Fox shills for the Bush administration and feeds the public heaping doses of fear-based infotainment, but now we know they support nazism, racism, and the preservation of the white race. And Mark Hyman...
