Is this who the BushCo people aligned themselves with...
...when supporting the Swift Boat Veterans Against John Kerry? No wonder Bush is acting like he does not want anything to do with them. Get the documents on the White House involvement with the group that the White House is refusing to release.

Swift Boat publishing heir white supremacist
Filed under: General— site admin @ 8:31 pm

William Regnery II, heir to the Regnery publishing fortune and a principal player in his father’s company which produced the Swift-Boat veterans’ “Unfit for Command,” is a leading advocate of white supremacy and is moving into a business aimed at “providing services and products to white.”

His jumping-off point is a planned match-making service for “heterosexual whites of Christian cultural heritage,” according to numerous sites that have begun investigating Regnery’s past, among them Working for Change and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Even Newsweek did a piece about him, but apparently no one made the connection.

In an appeal to potential investors titled “Population is Destiny,” Regnery wrote that the Caucasian dating service would be no ordinary money-making opportunity, but a chance to ensure “the survival of our race,” which “depends upon our people marrying, reproducing and parenting.”

According to Regnery, the dating service will be the “first arrow in a business quiver” providing “services and products to whites.”

Promoting white nationalism is nothing new for him or his family. His grandfather, William I, was an opponent of the U.S. siding against Germany in WWII. He signed incorporation papers for the America First Committee, an organization that opposed fighting Nazi Germany in World War II. His father, Henry, created Regnery Publishing, best known for publishing and promoting books written by right-wingers like Anne Coulter and G. Gordon Liddy.

William II has made his mark as a major fundraiser in radical right circles as the founder of the Charles Martel Society in 2001. The society publishes The Occidental Quarterly, an academic-looking journal filled with articles by white-supremacist luminaries such as Sam Francis, editor for the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens and Wayne Lutton of the hate group The Social Contract Press.

The society is putting together conferences, summer schools and a speaker’s bureau — all designed to push Regnery’s view that the white race is veering toward extinction.

The original William Regnery, Regnery II’s grandfather, was one of the founding fathers of the American fascist movement, notes Wikipedia (do a find-in-page search).

Prominent proponents of fascism in pre-WWII America included the publisher Seward Collins, whose periodical The American Review (1933-1937) featured essays by Collins, and others that praised Mussolini and Hitler. The America First movement, funded by William Regnery among others, took a pro-German view of the world during the 1930s, and fought to keep America neutral after Britain entered the war in 1939. Father Charles E. Coughlin’s Depression-era radio broadcasts extolled the virtues of fascism.
