‘I’m a black NAZI!’: NC GOP nominee for governor made dozens of disturbing comments on porn forum

Good Morning

The Robinson Affair has shown major rifts in the NC GOP. Not only have top staffers left the Robinson campaign, but party leadership has split on supporting Robinson at all. Here is Former Republican Governor Pat McCrory on the subject.

 
Robinson was never a favored son of the NCGOP. What he was, was a defense against claims that the GOP as a whole was becoming a more and more racist and divisive party. A party of hate and white supremacy. What he was is actuality was indicative of a general move in politics away from the learned leader to the dullardful dilettante. There were and are other republicans who could make the argument that the NCGOP is not an inherently racist party, and who also not have called themselves Nazis or perverts on a porn site; but these candidates had not gone viral on YouTube over a pro-gun rant delivered at a Greensboro City Council meeting. That's it. That alone got Robinson elected Lt. Governor of the state.

And as Lt, Governor, Robinson has done nothing of note outside of spout hard right wing talking points in pulpits around the state.

McCrory and other more traditional Republicans around the state have every right of to be angry with their party and with Robinson. But they need to save a little of that anger for themselves. For it was they who surrendered their party to the dimwitted and dubious now holding office under their banner. So important were the votes of the religious-right and right-wing reactionaries, that vetting and questioning went out the window.

And quite possibly the NCGOP future fortunes went out that window with them.
 
In Raliegh, North Carolina, white racist nationalists are uncertain aboùt Robinson's committment to racist beliefs. "He says he hates all sorts of people, but then when people like him get elected, they never follow through."

Barry Goldwater, a true conservative, warned against this takeover by the religious right and the reactionary loons in the 90s, toward the end of his life. He also recanted his opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and came out in full support of gay rights.
 
Goldwater would not be a member of today’s MAGGOT-infested GOP. Nor would Eisenhower, T. Roosevelt or Lincoln, among other notables.

It’s hard to separate his late life reversals in opinion, from the fact that his racism and bigotry was rejected by America’s electorate.

I don’t think Goldwater was ever a racist or a bigot. His opposition to the Civil Rights Act was rooted in a libertarian theory of government and business, in which government took a “hands-off” approach to the private operation of business, and that would include who to serve. He would say, at that time, that it was the “right” of a private property owner to refuse service to anyone for any reason, including the color of the person’s skin. I think later in life he recanted this because he came to recognize that without civil rights legislation, the government was in fact countenancing racism, and that racism was worse than some infringement on property rights. His position at the time would have been similar to that of Ayn Rand, who said that “racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism,” yet at the same time also opposed the Civil Rights Act. Unlike Goldwater, I don’t think she ever recanted her opposition to it, though.

I’m sure you’re right. My perception of Goldwater is that of a 7th grader, which was far less nuanced than the reality.
 
Something else interesting is that JFK and Goldwater, despite being political opposites, were very good friends. When it became evident in late 1963 that Goldwater was likely to be the GOP presidential nominee, JFK and Goldwater struck a deal to campaign TOGETHER in 1964, all over the nation, and debate at every stop. It would have been revolutionary, and might have permanently altered, for the good, how campaigns are conducted. Then came Dallas.

Goldwater hated LBJ and LBJ reciprocated, running a campaign branding Goldwater a war monger. LBJ’s PR team came up with the infamous Daisy ad, which suggested falsely that Goldwater was eager to blow up the world with nukes, including little girls picking daisies. This repulsive bit of propaganda is thought to have inspired the torrent of horrific political ads that came after, including all the shit by Lee Atwater.

Years later it was common to say, “I was told if I voted for Goldwater, we would get war. I did vote for him, and sure enough we got war.”
 
Note that is also LBJ’s voice in the ad.
 
20 years ago, a Democrat posting on a porn forum would have been a major scandal.

(CNN) — Mark Robinson, the controversial and socially conservative Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery, a CNN KFile investigation found.

Despite a recent history of anti-transgender rhetoric, Robinson said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, a review of archived messages found in which he also referred to himself as a “perv.”

Is this what Blacks for Trump is all about?

More to the point, can we stop just referring to him as "controversial" at this point? CNN should be leading with "self-avowed Black Nazi Mark Robinson" and drop the pretense that he's merely just outside of the mainstream.

Are you saying he's not controversial? Most people have a considerable problem with someone proclaiming themselves a Nazi, but some like it. Controversial.
