Is there some elected democratic official who is a member of a white supremacist group? It’s a big country and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

If that came out, the cries demanding their resignation would be universal. We do react quickly to scandal. Sometimes before all the facts are in. Not that there would be an excuse for being a member or associated with such a group, but whether they really were.

To me that would be an individual problem not the party because the party would reject that person.

Long way around to wind up saying no.

Westboro Baptist Church (doubtless a Karl Rove production), and Larouche's bircher group, who scored a couple of Dem primary wins in the early '90's.
