WorldNutDaily jumps from birther to racist

Yesterday, WorldNetDaily announced that Rick Santorum will become a regular commentator for the conspiratorial “news” site. And now, the former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate will get to share space with other commentators like Vox Day, who today uses his column to call for a new secessionist political party to resist the growing numbers of racial minorities.

Day was writing about British Prime Minister David Cameron’s resistance to attempts by the Scottish National Party (SNP) for Scotland to leave the UK and a campaign by the UK Independence Party (UKIP) for the country to exit the European Union. He writes that the SNP and UKIP can serve as a model for “white Americans who still hold to traditional values” to start a new country and leave the U.S. He claims that whites have every reason to secede as the “English people and the Scottish people have far more in common than Americans do with the tens of millions of post-1965 immigrants from various non-European nations around the world,” whom he says are ruining America.

They mean the same thing, therefor WorldnetDaily was already Racist if they were Birthers.

That is the most racist, ignorant thing I've read lately. It's like something that would have been published in the '50s or '60s in Southern newspapers in opposition to desegregation and equal rights and supported by Southern politicians.

I mean Wow, just Wow. I still can't believe someone wrote that in 2012 and a supposed news organization published it.
