Neo-Nazi Republican Delegates in Michigan

By Ed Brayton

My colleague Todd Heywood has an article at the Michigan Messenger that documents that two of the recently elected Republican precinct delegates in our state are, in fact, neo-Nazis. One is our old friend Kyle Bristow, former president of the MSU chapter of Young Americans for Freedom, which has rightly been declared a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Since getting that designation in 2007, Bristow has given up anything but the most lame pretense of not being a racist and a white nationalist. When the openly racist Council of Conservative Citizens (nee White Citizens Council) listed his blog as one of the great "pro-white" blog, he not only embraced it, he's celebrating it. He thanks another neo-Nazi for congratulating them on that designation and calls his blog "excellent."
