Jim Hoft, also known as Gateway Pundit, has amazingly descended to a new, despicable low. After trumping up the school bus beatings in Belleville as “vicious racist attacks” (even though students, the mayor, and prosecutors said the attack was not racially motivated), he now links to a youtube channel from a white supremacist group with the video title, “2nd White kid attacked by blacks on school bus, racial slur used”:
Despite the claim in the title of the video, nothing is said in any of the news reports about the attackers’ skin color. In the KMOV interview, the victim emphasizes only that they were “too older kids in eighth grade.” He did mention that they called him a “white N”, but that name seems just as likely to come from white racists as anyone else. In fact, Hoft even admits in an update, “I do not have a reliable source for the race of the attackers.”
Yet that does not stop Hoft from playing the race-baiting card by linking to the youtube channel from the white supremicist group The Council of Conservative Citizens, who are the direct offshoot of the White Citizen’s Council. You can see on the bottom right of the following screen the link the council from the host channel:
The Teabaggers want to claim they don’t have a problem with racism, yet a featured speaker at many of their events is approvinglin linking to a group of white supremacists that are well known in the area. I don’t doubt that Dana Loesch and Hennessey are not racists–but pretending some of their allies aren’t is delusional.
It’s not just a picture with Hoft though, Hoft was a featured speaker with Schock at the event as you can see by the videos on the page. Some find friends there Aaron.
