Once Shunned, Anti-Muslim Gadfly(Frank Gaffney) Is Now Helping To Set ‘Racist’ Agenda For CPAC

[Purveyor]

An anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist with ties to both white supremacists and several GOP presidential candidates has invited European racists to take part in panels at this week’s Conservative Political Action Conference.

Just five years ago, the Center for Security Policy and its founder, Frank Gaffney, were banned from the annual conservative gathering over their accusations that two CPAC board members, Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan, were secretly aiding the Muslim Brotherhood.

But now Gaffney — who drew Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin to his anti-Iran rally last year — has returned to a position of influence and has invited admitted racists to speak at CPAC, reported Hatewatch.

English white nationalist Paul Weston and Lars Hedegaard, a Danish anti-Muslim activist, will take part in a panel sponsored by Gaffney’s group on “The Global Jihad Movement in America and the Counterjihad Campaign.”

Weston once headed the British Freedom Party, the political wing of the racist xenophobic English Defense League, and called in September for a ban on all Muslim immigrants — whom he described as rapists and murders — to Europe.

And, judging by this statement, and some posts at DU:

Weston would have some support at DU.
