These include the Constitution and U.S. Taxpayer Parties. So not all racists are Republicans, because some racists don't think the Republicans are explicit enough in their race-baiting.

It may not be true that all republicans are racists....but its pretty close to true that all racists are republicans. Does anyone know of any democratic-oriented white-supremacy groups?

Regenery is not, to my knowledge, "a prime mover and shaker in white nationalism publishing." Regnery publishes a lot of stuff for the mainstream right. Besides which, barely disguised racism was popular in the early ninties (The Bell Curve, for instance), and Regnery was probably hip deep in that crap. The America First Committee tried to keep the U.S. out of World War II before we were attacked, which isn't quite the same as "an organization that opposed fighting the Nazi Germany in World War II." They weren't, as the author implies, a group of crazy pro-Nazi racists and traitors. Joseph Kennedy was a prominent member of the America First Committee, I think. Little inaccuracies like that make me doubt the whole piece. That being said, It sounds to me like Oliver Willis might be going a little overboard here.

They know this and are prepared to sacrifice principle for votes, so I see know reason why we shouldn't criticize them for it.
