So this dude Rand Paul, son of Ron, is running for some office in Kentucky. Now, Paul the son has apparently gotten the support of both Sarah Palin and Stormfront. If you google "Rand Paul + Neo-Nazis" one of the items that comes up on the first search page is a link to a fundraising page for Paul on Stormfront.
If you don't know what Stormfront is, it's a web forum for racist troglodytes, populated by your basic "downtrodden" white-guy Aryan nation knuckle-draggers.
(Somehow or other, the son of the Stormfront guy managed to get himself elected to the Palm Beach County, FL, Republican Election Committee, thereby validating my belief that the Republican Party is indeed the party of racist white guys).
Leave it to Stupid Sarah to not even see what's floating in the pool before she jumps in.
And since I refuse to link to Stormfront, I'll instead send you on over to (one of) my hero Morris Dees' place: Southern Poverty Law Center.

Yeesh. I've read Stormfront briefly for entertainment purposes, but after about four minutes they are about as entertaining as a dog-and-bear fight advertisement. I looked at Rand Paul for a moment and he looks like a typical libertarian wannabe, nothing objectionable, but evidently he had some low-rent racist on his staff and that connection has led to the angry leather-boys deciding to publicly support him, since apparently they're just smart enough to realize anyone they really WOULD want in office would garner three votes and a black eye in any fair election, if that.
I find the Aryanists amusing more than anything, except when they get violent in which case they are gangsters (that's a big step down from amusing), but what really pisses me off is their expropriation of Celtic symbols: The cross, and even bagpipes. Christ on a cracker, the Celts have zero tradition of going racist (except in the USA), unlike their Germanic cousins who had the poor judgment to vote for that one-testicled moron who expropriated (this a trend?) the ancient and noble swastika in an ultimately doomed attempt to convince Central Europeans they had some kind of special destiny based on ... what? I still don't know.
And now Kentucky ... Maybe there really is something about living too far away from oceans.
