It's Time We Paid A Visit To The Elephant's Graveyard


Whoa. It's wild, the things racists don't tell you - and how there's just so much "stuff" we can fail to put it together. Like, I never knew these two guys broke the Koch Brothers story. Or that the Koch's father was a co-founder of the crazy John Birch Society. 


Getting really interesting, I also didn't know they exposed Glenn Reynolds' girl friend at The Atlantic, Megan McArdle, as having a conflict of interest - being married to a guy who did astroturf campaigns - and who worked for the Tea Party's backers, FreedomWorks. (Notice she doesn't mention that here?) 


I'd never heard the earliest Tea Party website was created BEFORE Rick Santelli did the famous rant that supposedly set the whole thing off. Or that the guy behind that website worked for Ron Paul. The same Ron Paul who, I do remember from 2009, had writings appearing in a white supremacist newsletter.

How'd anybody miss that?


Especially now that Rand Paul's mulling a run for the presidency? 


Post-Trayvon, I HAVE learned Wisconsin's Scott Walker has a staff that's racist, and the boss even once had nice things to say about David Duke. 


 While Paul Ryan could've been the Vice President quoting Charles Murray. Whoa. 


Like Martin Luther King's admonition to blacks not to work with Republicans  - while they scream MLK was one of them - it's wild the things racists don't tell you.


But I'm certainly getting an idea of where this is going now,….
