white nationalist

This week I addressed some editorial issues regarding the radio show and the types of guests I will not support or promote. I talked about the backlash I received for calling Ryan Dawson a “racist grifter” and why I continue to stand by that statement. I discussed my own journalistic integrity and why I will not allow myself to be tainted by right-wingers simply because they do “good research.”

No one was injured last week when a campus protest against white nationalist leader Richard Spencer ended in gunfire, but the growing number of free-speech clashes in higher education drew a critical eye Thursday by Congress.
“When does protected speech cross the line to unprotected incitement of violence?” asked Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., this morning at a meeting of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.

(TFC Op-ed) — As white supremacists of all sorts rebrand, they still cling to the concept of “free speech rallies”. Do you notice how they don’t invite groups opposed to them to speak? Do you notice all of the speakers are of the alt-right or alt-light variety? Do you notice the blatant racism? The rallies aren’t about free speech. They never were. They’re about getting stupid people to defend them and to side with them based on a buzzword.

Stephen Singular joins me today to discuss his first book Talked to Death: The Murder of Alan Berg. We begin by talking about controversial radio host Alan Berg. Stephen explains how he went from a Chicago based lawyer, to one of the most popular radio hosts in the nation. We discuss Berg’s confrontational style of talk radio which covered everything from race, politics, sex, religion, to the love of his Airedale dog. Stephen and I then move onto the far right neo-nazi group The Order, which would assassinate Berg on June 19, 1984.

Chuck Ochelli joins me to discuss the aftermath of the violence in Charlottesville and the rise of right wing racist groups. We begin by breaking down the initial protest over the taking down of a statue Robert E Lee. Chuck and I offer up our thoughts not only on America’s new found love of statues from the 1950’s but the make up of this crowd of alt-right protesters. Next Chuck and I explore the racist and racialist history of America and its deep roots in our society. Chuck explains the difference and how racialism has infected most of the population.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA — Though rising tensions between the Trump administration and North Korea had dominated headlines for much of the past week, the chaotic events in Charlottesville swiftly replaced concerns about imminent nuclear war with concerns about the white nationalist movement and other associated groups.

Muslim groups have raised more than $500,000 for the heroes killed while defending two women who were being harassed by an Islamophobic passenger on a train in Portland last week.
Ricky Best and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche were fatally stabbed, and Micah Fletcher was critically wounded by a man who was shouting bigoted slurs at teenagers who appeared to be Muslim.
