What's out there is what is commonly called the fringe, the political no-man's-land where anti-semites use creepy little code words like 'Jewish Lobby' to connote something older and darker. Lending credence to a man like Dankof because he's a 'former Senate candidate' is a kind of logical misdirection, a false attribution of qualities normally associated with men and women of real stature and merit. Should I take whackjobs like Lyndon LaRouche seriously because he's a former presidential candidate? That's the rationale you're selling and I, for one, am not buying it. Keep the bigotry off the board.

Keep the bigotry off the board.If you feel the Constitution Party and their candidates are bigots and have no place being mentioned on FR, I'm the wrong one to complain to. I'd suggest you bring their bigotry up when they're mentioned as an option, rather than when it's exposed.
