McCain Composes Non-Defense of His Blatant Racism

Former Washington Times editor and accomplished white supremacist icon Robert Stacy McCain has written a blog post this morning in which he attacks both Charles Johnson of the prominent blog Little Green Footballs as well as myself for our shared insistence on revealing the fellow’s various neo-Nazi connections to as many people as possible. Usually, McCain responds to such significant charges as ours by way of goofy threats, weird Biblical imagery, and other distractions that invariably fail to address the issue at hand, so the fact that he actually manages to at least attempt a refutation of my recent Huffington Post piece this time makes today a very special day indeed.

Of course, McCain does not actually link to my article or indicate where it may be found; to do so would be contrary to his sole means of career survival at this point, which is to hope as few people as possible become aware of the fact that he’s written on the perils of “race suicide” among whites for the unapologetically racist publication American Renaissance, or that he was once in the habit of posting links to neo-Nazi forum Overthrow.com while using an assumed name, or that he once explained the “revulsion” some whites “naturally” feel when presented with images of interracial couples, or the many other pieces of evidence that have been brought to public attention as of late.

Still, he does try to dispute a single charge – the assertion made by a former Washington Times employee who sat across from the fellow for a number of years and who is on the record as claiming McCain to have made an unusually large number of violent and racist comments during his stint at that terrible paper. McCain notes that I have incorrectly identified the fellow, George Archibald, as a former editor, when in fact he is a longtime investigative reporter. I regret the error; it was a senior investigative reporter, not an editor, who has asserted McCain to be every bit as much of a racist as he would appear to be. McCain also claims that Archibald’s “life went downhill after his wife left him,” which is certainly a shame; additionally, McCain says there are some very important secret witnesses known to him who can testify to Archibald’s general malevolence.

Meanwhile, McCain has not addressed any of the more damning evidence against him. Last month, I noticed and reported upon his penchant for worrying about teen pregnancies among minorities while actually encouraging them among whites; he had expressed the first sentiment in one blog post and the second in another, though, and thus the telling contrast was not immediately obvious without putting the two of them together. My assertion that this demonstrated McCain’s clear preference for white babies over black ones was designated as libel by a few of McCain’s scattered defenders, of course. And then I was made aware that, lo and behold, McCain had indeed written an article for American Renaissance in 2002 in which he made his racial preferences with regards to babies entirely explicit. Interestingly enough, it is the only article of which I’m aware that he opted to write under an assumed name.

Today I’m finishing up what I hope to be the last article I’ll need to write on Robert Stacy McCain; it will appear this week, I believe, and will hopefully bring all of this to the attention of a different audience. McCain still writes for American Spectator and other respectable outlets, is linked to favorably throughout the conservative end of the blogosphere, has co-authored a book with Palin biographer Lynn Vincent, and has otherwise managed to enjoy the fruits of mainstream success for a number of years. He will continue to be successful to the extent that the facts about his racist affiliations are ignored by the media at large.
