another racist repug

Thanks, again, to Charlotte for allowing Greensboro to feel better about itself.

Today's chapter is about city politics. Observer:

"Republican candidate Doug Hanks said Thursday that he will exit the Charlotte City Council race, after his postings on a white supremacist Internet site became public.

"In more than 4,000 posts on stormfront.org, Hanks railed against blacks and Jews, touted his instruction book on building a homemade rifle and recruited people to rally against Charlotte's decision to remove the Confederate flag from Elmwood Cemetery."

Hanks said he was just play-acting to win the trust of real racists as he researched a novel...a lame excuse made lamer by his own comparison of his novel to The Turner Diaries, a racist novel seen as an inspiration for Tim McVeigh.

Props to the Charlotte Rhino Times, which broke the story, but hasn't posted it yet, leaving other papers around the country to reap the web traffic this is generating...
