dickmorrisonfoxnews Fox analyst uses quote from alleged hate site to deny right wing racism

In the wake of an NAACP resolution calling on Tea Party leaders to condemn racist elements among their ranks, some conservatives have responded by claiming that any allegations of right-wing racism are an unfounded smear.

Fox News political analyst Dick Morris attempted to make this point on Wednesday during an appearance on Fox & Friends by quoting the line, "A racist is somebody who is winning an argument with a liberal."

The odd thing about Morris's use of this quote to deny the reality of racism, however, is that it comes from Peter Brimelow, founder of the anti-immigration website VDARE, which has been accused of being a white nationalist hate site.



After Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, for example, VDARE columnist Steve Sailer was widely condemned for his statement that African-Americans "tend to possess poorer native judgment than members of better-educated groups." Even John Podhoretz at the conservative National Review called this "the most disgusting sentence yet written about Katrina."

"VDARE.com is an anti-immigration hate website 'dedicated to preserving our historical unity as Americans into the 21st Century,'" the Southern Poverty Law Center asserts. "Now run by the VDARE Foundation, the site is a place where relatively intellectually inclined leaders of the anti-immigrant movement share their opinions. VDARE.com also regularly publishes articles by prominent white nationalists, race scientists and anti-Semites."

3. That picture of him is priceless. His mouth always looks
like it's desperately trying to escape from his face.

4. So, Dick, do you only suck white female toes or are you open to many other options?
