Neo-Nazi candidate must be heard, foes say

A write-in candidate from Northern Kentucky who is running for the U.S. Senate is a neo-Nazi who once belonged to an organization whose founder inspired Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.

Robert Edward Ransdell has made news in recent days with signs he has posted in Northern Kentucky and Lexington that say "With Jews We Lose" and when he was ushered offstage on Wednesday after espousing his anti-Jewish rhetoric during an event at the University of Kentucky.

Now, he plans to begin running commercials on a mainstream talk radio station in Cincinnati, according to a white supremacist website where he posted that federal communication laws ensure that the radio station will air his ad.

Mayo noted that Frazier Glenn Miller, who was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups, ran for the U.S. Senate in Missouri in 2010. He was charged this year in the shooting deaths of a 14-year-old boy and his grandfather outside an Overland Park, Kan., Jewish community center.
