Blogger Who Revealed GOP Leader's KKK Ties Had Home Internet Lines Cut

Posted by timothy on from the coud-be-coincidence dept.

blottsie writes Last month, Lamar White, Jr. set off a firestorm in Washington when a post on his personal blog revealed that House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, the third most powerful Republican in the House of Representatives, was a featured speaker at a white nationalist conference put on by former Klu Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. Then someone climbed in his back yard and severed his Internet cables.

    NeoFascists is what they are (except for the "Tea Party", who are racist neoConfederate traitors).

    And did you think all fascists in the world disappeared with a *poof* (or by hanging) at the end of WWII?

    Let's check with someone who speaks with more authority on fascism than any of you here, Mussolini, first fascist dictator, who liked to quote that "fascism is more properly called corporatism, since it's the merger of state and corporate power."

    Quick example: Dick Cheney, for the first five years of his two terms as VP, was receiving millions in his golden parachute from Halliburton, who was awarded billions in no-bid contracts for Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Now we *know* that the GOP Whip is a KKK sympathizer, if not an outright member. Or, as they used to say about the other side, a "fellow traveller".

    Yep. Slashdot has become a huge pile of suck lately. It used to be "News for Nerds", now its looking more for "News for Nerd wannabes".

    A political bent has been here a long time, but it used to be more even keeled, and the discussion used to be more open. Hell, even Jon Katz was better than some of the political drivel being posted here lately, especially vis a vis "diversity" and gamer gate. The progressive, hipster, and white knight posturing here lately has been sickening.

    RIP Slashdot. We used to have logical discussions around here and talk about technology, when culture came up it was viewed from within and around the technology. Well the SJW's are on the march and they've arrived as /.

    I'll be signing off now.
