Could L.A. Accidentally Elect a White Separatist?Posted on May 18, 2008
Not many people pay attention to judicial elections, especially one held in June, and it’s for that reason that some Angelenos are worried about the campaign of William Johnson. A white separatist, Johnson is apparently counting on a lack of attention and the support of Ron Paul’s local organization to help him to victory. The story was first reported by the Los Angeles Metropolitan News-Enterprise, which revealed that Johnson had advocated a constitutional amendment limiting citizenship to whites of European extraction. The L.A. Times has produced a couple of blog posts and an editorial, but the election remains mostly ignored and unreported. Here’s where Ron Paul comes in: According to the Times editorial, Johnson was active in Paul’s campaign for president. Indeed, Johnson’s candidacy is on the agenda for a June meeting of “The Los Angeles Ron Paul 2008 Meetup Group” to be held in the conference room of Johnson’s office. Judging by the comments on the L.A. Times Web site, it seems Johnson has been presented to voters (including Paul supporters) as Libertarian-leaning. These are the kinds of elections, the Times points out, that sometimes turn on whether voters like a candidate’s name or their occupation. Read the original Metropolitan News-Enterprise article. Read the L.A. Times editorial. The Times blog posts can be found here and here. The June meeting of a Los Angeles Ron Paul group is described here.

Deja vu, anyone? No. Just a connection glitch. Sorry for the double comments!

Let’s hope BJ’s past doesn’t slip by unnoticed like Dick Bush’s connections to The Project for The New American Century and the Carlysle Group. Eisenhower warned us about these types- the military-industrial complex. Maybe BJ will yell at a pep rally(like Howard Dean) and get absolutely lynched the next day in all the “media”. Personally, I think white sheets are a fashion faux pas, so there is still hope BJ will be appropriately outed.

The Project for The New American Century, The Carlysle Group, what else did anyone need to know about Dick Bush? These guys are the biggest criminals to ever invade Washington and I don’t ever hear anybody talking about these groups. Maybe BJ will yell at a pep rally(like Howard Dean) and get totally lynched by the “media”. If BJ burned some investors or killed some nuns and orphans the right wing is gonna love him. Rupert Murdoch owns too much “media” in this country to have the Truth ever get a firm footing. At least white sheets make my complection look a little less pale.hahahah Ever the optimist!

Ron Paul. a libertarian from Texas is indeed the neocons ‘s new darling because he’s deceptively clever. Look for Cheney’s silent bidding.(Touch his nose or something…)

No, there has been plenty of valid skepticism about Ron Paul’s racial views. Read a little further on his history, and it will become apparent.

Hey, lets all play fair. I’m no Ron Paul supporter, but just because this guy is a racist and Ron Paul supporter doesn’t mean that Ron Paul himself or most of his support have that agenda.

Well SHIT!
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.
And, the Ron Paul connection is NOT a surprise, so let’s just use this as one of my rare occassions of ‘I TOLD you so’!
This is exactly how these people get into places of extraordinary power…via the stealth mode. And yes, ANY judgeship is a position of extradinary power. That’s how we got stuck with Dick Bush…
This guy could do more damage to LA than an earthquake.
By the way, I TOLD you guys about Ron Paul’s deceptive agenda.
