Michigan GOP head using material from white supremacist...
*BIG* surprise, right?
Michigan GOP National Committeeman Dave Agemas doggedly stubborn refusal to back down from his decision to post the essay Everyone Should Know These Statistics on Homosexuals on his Facebook page has created a furious debate about the accuracy of the claims made by the essays author,Frank Joseph, M.D.

That (8) is footnote #8. It refers to a pamphlet entitled Is Homosexual Activity Normal? by Dr. Edward R. Fields of Marietta, Ga. Fields is cited as the source for eight bullet points in the essay that Agema circulated.
What appears to be a reprint of the original Fields essay can be found here.
The Fields facts used in the essay reposted by Agema (and written by Joseph) are all similarly outrageous: 37% of homosexuals engage in sadomasochism, 60% say they have had sex with strangers in bathhouses, Homosexuals are 100 times more likely to be murdered, etc...
The Jewish Anti-Defamation League informs us that an Edward R. Fields of Marietta, GA, is a non-practicing chiropractor.
Thats the good part.
The bad parts:
Edward Fields has been active in white supremacist and anti-Semitic groups since he was a teenager in the late 1940s ... Fields was a significant force in the racist world ...
In 1991 he organized a Klan rally in Montgomery, Alabama, along with Thom Robb of the Knights of the KKK.
In February 2001 he attended the funeral of Byron de la Beckwith, murderer of civil rights activist Medgar Evers ...
