Spectre Unmasked: Racist 'Alt-Right' Podcaster Used To Be Local Reporter

Yes, but I did that Googling and I can't find anything with the final verdict on it. All I find are newspaper articles about the ongoing trial / investigation and the case summary of the habeus corpus appeal against the extradition order that preceded the appear you linked.

Stormfronting Norman

Granted, not as clean sounding, but...

You of all people are in no position to joke about that.

Your google-fu is quite weak.

Anyway, there's a credible question as to whether Storm killed his mother when he was youngster. He was probably jerking off with one of his guns when it accidentally went off.

This site says there was an acquittal. Search for "Garrison."

And why not?

McAnally? Flyover states are full of LOL.

You and Storm are two peas in a pod.

I liked Storm and we had a lot of overlap politically, though he was much more anarcho-capitalist than I am.

He would occasionally make very politically incorrect racial remarks or innuendo which I chalked up to trolling or his playing a character.

But, clearly, his views on race were much more extreme and repugnant, as has since come to light. Like @Elwood, I'm disgusted by things I've discovered about him.

I reserve the right to change my opinion about someone when facts about them change.

Careful Paladin. People here will think you’re not being nuanced enough.

Think what you want. I've got a very long history here and you'd be hard pressed to find anything in it that suggests I'm of a remotely similar racial mindset as Storm is.

You're a Californian Republican. You're well trained to say the quiet part quietly.

"The lack of evidence is all the evidence I need!"

I think Paladins views are repulsive, but he isn't Storm.

No two peas in a pod are exactly alike.

Yeah, if he had that hate to begin with, it might have become an outlet when life turned sour. And it could be a feedback loop: life takes a bad turn, you take it out on others, causing another bad turn, etc., etc.

racking my mind for politically correct racial remarks and I'm left wondering why there needs to be that in/correct qualifier (other than some sort of shade throwing)?

like, why not "crude", "tasteless", "inflammatory", or something rather than an outdated weasel word?

"Blacks are culturally/biologically less inclined to the behaviours that lead to success" might have been more POLITE than Storm would have been, but it's still fucking horrific.

probably more so, because it's easier for others to agree with and re wrap as we've seen among certain members of rightforge

Paladin and Storm are two sides of the same coin.

Shit I'd forgotten about that.

If you let them talk enough they always say the quiet part out loud.

Anyone paying attention recognizes that Paladin is a bigot. He may be slightly less of a bigot than Storm, and be less direct about his bigotry, but he's enough of one to comfortably write him off as to not be taken seriously.

No duh. I am surprised many people could not see that. It certainly does not seem to ever have been hidden. It is a bald faced lie that Paladin might have changed over the years. What that means is a lot of old timers in the middle seemed to be blind as fuck regarding obvious racism in the past. Almost like they actively missed it.

But that is the world for you, and certainly that is america. Trump did not create this shit, but he did seem to illuminate the presence on both sides.

Also, "occasionally"? The dude was the only one who came anywhere close to using the N word (or some "cute" variation therein) as often as Tasvir did, usually at Mewa or Vandygoddess because they had better sense to drag his ass for it than I did when he was active.

As a follow up to this, his bigotry isn't just limited to race, but also on transgender issues. In the "Don't Say Gay Bill" thread, he is arguing that he should have a right to be openly bigoted to transgender people who use pronouns he disagrees with.
