Today's Republican Party: It's Hardcore!

Readers of Atrios and Ed Cone already will have heard about Republican Klansman Heritageman Doug Hanks, who sought to represent the Republican Party on the Charlotte (N.C.) City Council.

Here's the story of Doug and his pals at stormfront.org:

Doug Hanks said the postings on the site were fictional and designed to win white supremacists' trust as he researched a novel he was writing.

"I needed information for the book and some other writings I was doing," Hanks told The Associated Press on Friday. "Obviously, when you go to a site like that as a reporter, nobody's going to give you the time of day. I did what I thought I needed to do to establish myself as a credible white nationalist."

Hanks' 4,000 postings to the Web site over the past three years were first reported Thursday by The Rhinoceros Times, a weekly newspaper.

In a June 1 posting, Hanks wrote: "When Blacks start acting equally, only then will they enjoy the benefits of being treated equally. I treat a rabid dog differently from a healthy one. In fact, this gives me a terrific idea! Let's treat all the Blacks like the rabid beasts they are. 'Yeller! Here Boy!'"

Mr. Hanks ain't no ordinary racist peckerwood. No, according to his bio at "Patriot Publications," he's

a licensed general contractor, legally ordained minister, and the chief conservation officer of an experimental redwood reforestation project in the North Carolina mountains. He is presently an honorary co-chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee's Business Advisory Council, and received an award for environmental protection achievement from the President of the United States. He is currently working on a series of pro-Second Amendment novels.

He's not only a Republican racist, he's a religious bigot too:

Described as "'Unintended Consequences' and 'Harrison Bergeron' meets 'The Turner Diaries'," "Patriot Act" foretells of a future where a Zionist-controlled government eliminates all freedom and individual thought; where patriotism is akin to terrorism, and being proud of one's heritage is criminal.

Hanks is no namby-pamby either, according to his fans:

I finished reading "Patriot Act" ... AWESOME! It's the Turner Diaries for the 21st century. It's better than I had hoped. I was thinking it was more of a pro-Constitution, pro-Second Amendment novel which only touched peripherally on the race and Jewish problem. Not so, it's hardcore! It's a really compelling read because of your extensive character development and the way you tied them together in the end.

Does Dennis Prager know about this?

But don't take Billy's word for it -- here's the "Overview/Forward" (.pdf) to Hanks' racist and subliterate novel.

Hanks has already taken down his campaign website, but it's cached here.

On his site, the closeted Klansman boasted that "[i]n conjunction with the historic preservation group, HPEPC I climbed to the top of the 50-foot tall pole in freezing temperatures" to replace a Confederate flag taken down by the city council. He claimed, "[t]his was not an issue of North vs. South; it was about right versus wrong, and the fact that taking down any flag of heritage is inherently wrong."
