If you're looking for a life partner and are too busy to get enmeshed in the dating scene, hope is on the way: There are myriad dating services that promise to find you the perfect mate. Some arrange lunchtime meetings for over-scheduled workers; others offer a round-robin approach where you can spend a few minutes with a bunch of different prospects during one evening. There are online dating services, video dating services, and services aimed at hooking you up with an ethnic, religious or political counterpart.
AmericanSingles.com claims it will "jump start your love life"; eHarmony pledges to be there for you "when you're ready to find the love of your life"; PerfectMatch.com claims it is "the Internet's fastest growing relationship site"; Yahoo! personals allows you to "discover great singles near you"; Great Expectations maintains that since 1976 it has been "the nation's premiere destination for meeting and dating quality singles."

If you're a white supremacist, however, none of these services may be right for you. So, if you're having trouble making a love connection and you're uncomfortable at KKK rallies, haven't made your way to a Council of Conservative Citizens confab, or aren't interested in re-locating to a compound in Idaho, William Regnery's new whites-only dating service might be right up your alley. Regnery, one of the lesser-known members of the right wing publishing family, is currently searching for seed money to launch a service that promises to hook clients up with their very own special white supremacist love connection.

William Regnery, described as "famously reclusive" by the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Report, knows from white supremacy: He is the publisher of The Occidental Quarterly, a publication described recently by Newsweek as "espous white nationalism" and "whose statement of principles calls for limiting immigration to 'selected people of European ancestry.'"

In a letter to subscribers, Regnery expressed his concern about the decreasing percentage of white people in the population and announced plans for a new dating service that he claims will address the problem. Internet-based and earmarked only for whites, Regnery's service aims to increase the white population in the United States through marriage and procreation.

Regnery's letter, titled "Population is Destiny" was an appeal to potential investors. The dating service, he said, will be only the "first arrow in a business quiver" providing "services and products to whites."

1. This was discussed here last week.

I think this is not the same Regnery that published the SmearBoat Vets book.

5. Can you show me?

thanks.

7. I think it is.

But he's the Publishing HEIR, not the actual publisher.

9. Here's a (how the hell did we miss this?) NEWSWEEK piece

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5560784/site/newsweek

William Regnery II is the heir to the company his father founded. There's only one Regnery publishing so far as I can tell.

[rawstory]

2. Regnery II is the Swift Boat publishing HEIR (father's company)

which the article, ineptly, fails to mention...

6. It isn't? Show me where?

13. IIRC from last week's discussion,

Henry Regnery founded the publishing company in the 40s or 50s to counter "liberal" publishing. Son Alfred now runs it, and William is apparently Alfred's brother and heir, which would mean Alfred has no children (well, THAT's a relief).

14. That pretty much sums it up. William II, the racist, is only an HEIR.

At last check, we've been unable to directly connect him to the management or ownership of Regnery Publishing itself.

Still, it's pretty unpleasant.

3. Big fat hairy surprise that turned out to be!

Republicans? Racist? How COULD this be???

[Democat]

4. Too bad we don't own the media like the right wing does

This would be a huge scandal if it was someone on the left.

8. You sure that wasn't big fat pink invertebrates only?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

10. Doesn't this violate racial discrimination laws?

[oldhat]

11. No

It's a private group. They can do whatever they want.

12. Story with more links, photo

This guy is SCARY looking! But, of course, anyone in that lighting would be too.

[lottie244]

15. Yeah, and this is what the Swiftboaters is really all about.

Just more bigots, racists, and fascists who loathe Kerry even more for bringing up the disparity of the Vietnem toll on blacks.

16. Once again, Moderator censorship.

Anything of serious consequence quashed as usual by overzealous LBN moderators. Come on, guys! Newsweek reported this! It's never really come up.

*sigh*

17. oh brother

assholes that they are, do they have to be racist as well?
