Be alert comrades,
The organization known as American Renaissance is planning to hold its 9th “American Renaissance Conference” somewhere here in Charlotte, NC! One glance at the website of this racist trash(amren dot com/conference/2011/index.html) will tell you all you need to know about who they are and what they believe. They claim they’re “Defending The West”, but one look at their poisonous rhetoric regarding race relations and supposed links between race, IQ, and crime make it clear this is just another bunch of neo-nazi scum spreading their racist ideology of hate whilst hiding behind 1st Amendment freedoms.
We look forward to extending the warm welcome racists and fascists of this ilk can expect anywhere they attempt to gather and spread their bigoted and xenophobic message. They intend to gather from Feb. 4th through Feb. 6th, at an as yet undisclosed location. They rightly fear the response gathering for them! Our goals are to prevent, or disrupt and derail this conference, and to out the fascist scum attending for who they are.
As more information becomes available we’ll let folks know where to meet these pigs face to face. We know, from their website, that they’ll be provided transit from the airport to the location, so our first step it to put pressure on the airport and transit services to refuse to transport this scum. The second step is to contact local hotels with conference space, and ask they provide no platform for these hatemongers to gather and propagate their message. We must make it clear that those who associate with and enable the fascists are no better than the fascists they facilitate. Keep your eyes peeled, and as the date draws nigh check in for the most up-to-date information we can offer!

I detect a lot of hate on this site. I also detect a willingness to use violence and intimidation. Hate and violence really do seem to come together here – isn’t this what you accuse your enemies of?
Comment by jewamongyou January 30, 2011 @ 9:09 pmThe obvious difference being that I don’t advocate oppression of, or violence towards, any group based solely on appearance or religion. I have a high level of intolerance for racists, hatemongers, and bigots. If you profess an ideology of hatred and bigotry you shouldn’t expect to be met with open arms and welcoming smiles. You call yourself a “race-realist” on your blog, which is transparently a smokescreen to cover your racist opinions. You should feel shame to represent as a Jewish person while also advocating the free speech of an organization as disgustingly racist and anti-semitic as American Renaissance.
