A super PAC (click here) working to unseat Alabama’s Republican senator is using the recent controversy over the NFL’s national anthem protests to gin up support for former state supreme court judge Roy Moore. And it’s relying on a little-known donor with ties to President Donald Trump’s billionaire backers to finance an ad campaign on the issue....
Respect the flag, don't respect the protest. White Supremacists.

Washington ― In 2005, the foundation run by Judge Roy Moore, now the Republican nominee for a Senate seat in Alabama, accepted a $1,000 donation from a group founded by Willis Carto, a white supremacist, Nazi supporter and World War II vet who famously said he regretted fighting for the U.S instead of Germany.
The Foundation to Defend the First Amendment is one of several nonprofit groups Carto used to shuffle money around to his anti-Semitic and racist conspiracy publications, to fund Holocaust deniers, and, apparently, to donate to Moore’s nonprofit. The Carto-founded group touts its support for Moore and his Foundation for Moral Law on its web site. The contribution to Moore’s group stands out as one of just a handful it has made to organizations not explicitly involved in Holocaust denial....

...BuzzFeed reports that Moore (click here) addressed the Council of Conservative Citizens in 1995, while an Alabama 16th Judicial Circuit Judge. Moore was elected chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, for the second time, in 2012.
The report includes a copy of the group's newsletter, the "Citizens Informer" which features a picture of Moore and other speakers at the group's semi-annual national conference.
The paper notes Moore had gained recognition for hanging a copy of the Ten Commandments in his courtroom. The stance later vaulted Moore to national prominence. It also led to his eventual dismissal as the state's chief justice in 2003, after he refused to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the Alabama Supreme Court.
The same CCC newsletter from 20 years ago also notes CCC convention delegates were greeted by then-Jefferson County Commissioner (later chair) Bettye Fine Collins and Birmingham City Councilman Dr. Jimmy Blake.
The CCC is the nation's largest white nationalist group, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC says the group is a reincarnation of the White Citizens Councils that were formed to resist desegregation in the 1950s and 1960s....
There is something Joe Arpaio has in common with Roy Moore. They both were in contempt of court. I doubt Arpaio has received monies from White Supremacists, but, it would be interesting to find the records of his elections as sheriff.
The White Supremacist agenda is cloaked with so called moral issues such as Christian Marriage. But, one has to wonder how many White Supremacists were/are in the Pro-Life movement.

You can respect (click here) the rule of law or you can pardon former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio. You cannot do both. So if and when President Trump grants mercy to his fellow birther, his political bedfellow, his loyal partner in harassing the nation's immigrants, he'll be sending the strongest possible signal yet that the administration's tough-on-crime talk about "law and order" and a restoration of morality in enforcement is, in truth, a load of hooey.
I have covered Arpaio's antics in Maricopa County for a decade or more, and it is hard to name a more lawless lawman. He didn't just commit criminal contempt when he violated a federal court order halting his unconstitutional immigration roundups. He did so gleefully, boastfully, publicly—daring federal authorities to do something about it. And then, when they did, when federal prosecutors called him on his misconduct, Arpaio wasn't even willing or able to muster the courage of his race-related convictions. He pretended instead that he had been ignorant all along....

John Burt called himself the spiritual adviser to Michael Griffin and Paul Hill. Every hear of those thugs?

The First Abortion Doctor Killed: David Gunn (click here) ...The gunman, Michael F. Griffin, shot Dr. Gunn three times in the back as he approached the rear entrance of the clinic, and Mr. Griffin turned himself over to the police just moments later, telling them, “I’ve just shot Dr. Gunn.”...
Michael F. Griffin was a member of "The Army of God."
During his trial, (click here) Griffin's defense attorneys argued that activist John Burt "brainwashed" Griffin and drove him to commit murder. At the time, Burt was the Northwest Florida regional director of the national pro-life group Rescue America.
Burt was also a retired U.S. Marine and former member of the Ku Klux Klan (though he claims to have "abandoned the group's racist doctrine when he became a born-again Christian") and a self-professed "spiritual adviser" to a group of activists who bombed three abortion clinics in 1984.
In 2005, Burt was convicted of five counts of lewd or lascivious conduct for improperly touching and propositioning a 15-year-old girl at the home, and sentenced to 18 years in state prison....
