Shocked to hear that WorldNet Daily lies!
WorldNet Daily misquoted NAACP's Julian Bond as comparing repugnantcans to nazis and calling Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell as tokens. WorldNet Daily indicated that Bond delivered a keynote address saying 'the republican party would have the American flag and the swastika flying side by side.' A tape of Bond's speech on 2/1/06 shows that he actually said 'their (republicans) idea of equal rights is the American flag and the Confederate swastika flying side-by-side,' thus never using the word 'Nazi'. WorldNet Daily's misrepresentation of the truth was repeated over the rightwing blogs and rush limbaugh himself. In the words of Cindy Sheehan, 'make them stop.'

Take a look at some of the books advertised there, get a feel for what it is about.

Last I knew, it was considered very right wing.

3. What part of this is untrue?
Many Republicans indeed support these positions.

Are you implying that white supremecy hasn't been a large underlying component of many within the Republican party?
